Heard through the grapevine last week that we should be able to make it through the season at my home track, Mason Dixon, through the rest of the season.

luck

Here it is... but I suspect the formula didn't translate correctly from English to Mandarin

We had planed to attend a 2 day, 3 race event at Crossville (Tennessee) Dragway last weekend, but it got canceled. This week, Bristol (Tn) made the call to run Sportsman & Trophy (both 1/4 mile classes) on 1/8 mile this weekend. Both due to traction compound issues. We wound up running at Motor Mile (in Va) last week and plan to run London (Ky) this week. Both say they have a good supply.

Thank God they ran street and trophy 1/8 mile. You know how dangerous those cars are without traction compound. grin

Be interesting to revisit these tracks that are short on glue to see if the 1/4 mile stuff ever comes back

Beech Bend in Bowling Green Ky used Coke syrup for I think 2 seasons a couple years ago. It worked and was cheaper then the regular compound.

Yeah, its like the reverse of the previous decades. They used to have drag strips to get racing off the street, now we have to go to street to really open them up and wring them out.

Race cars are allowed in Sportsman at Bristol. My car runs 10.60's, several others run in the 9's and several more run in the low 10's. A bunch of cars run upper 10's, low 11's.
