Mineshaft air right now I'd say.
At a good event the track hooks. That's all I go to is good events. Had a bad track prep years ago at a Mopar race.
Career best 8.02 @ 169 at 3050# and 10" tires small block power.

bob look in to these. coastalplainsdragway.hooks hard. dunn/benson dragstrip.hooks good kinstondragstrip.hooks so so
Coastal Plains is a killer track Troy Humphries test his Pro Stockers there. Dunn-Benson is hands down the best 1/8 of a mile track in NC the facilities are second only to Z-Max the track is finsihed for 1/4 mile but they won't have the timming equip moved until Jan. Kinston has a 1/4 mile facility and they run a winter race serise, and it's now run by former sportsman world champion Danny Waters Jr so they keep that track in pretty good condition also. If you just want to work on short times I recommend Dunn Benson if you need to go a 1/4 I would say Kinston or Coastal Plains.

Carolina Dragway (House of Hook). Best track in the south plain and simple. Its a HUGE grudge track and is always on kill.

Carolina Dragway, the house of hook, is 1/4 mile and near the Georgia line. Always hooks good. Wish it wasn't almost a 4 hour drive for me to get there. Darlington Dragway is nice, 1/4 mile, and track prep is decent. This is where I usually go. Rockingham's track prep is usually terrible, unless it's a big event. Test and Tune there is a joke as far as track prep. Fayetteville Motorsports Park is a nice place, 1/4 mile, and has been prepped good every time I've been there. The weather in December is hit and miss. We've had Christmases when I was wearing shorts all day, then again it's been cold as he11 too.

Great post Bob!!! At some point soon hopefully, Me and "the Randinator" will swing down with my car/trailer and we'll go south (convoy) to good surfaces and weather.
