hey bill, the starting line at mcir has gotten better..mark(second generation owner)is trying hard and they are making strides at making it a nice track to race at. to me the big end of the track is the issue...it's pretty bumpy..thats why they are running their pro/box class 1/8 mile..although the bumpy big end must not be to bad because they had some fast street cars running 1/4 mile there last fri. night and they didn't seem to have any trouble. come on up sometime
