Hey,
I went to the 1/8 mile track the other nite, and could not get any traction whatsoever. Just the week before I ran 1.65 60 ft, 7.40 in the 1/8. Same track, air was much better, the best I could
60 ft was 2.02, and I tried many different setups. The car only went 8.12, at 93 mph, my buddies say I was spinning the tires almost 300 ft. Do the track conditions vary that much?
setup 72 nova,zz 502, 825 race demon,cal tracs,bfg drag radials-varying pressure. any ideas?

Welcome to my nightmare ---- YES They do. Evening Dew, People with street radials tearing up the track, cars dragging water up because they just don't know any better, etc., etc

as ive seen most tracks do very little track prep on test and tune nights. the track will always be better on race nights and alot of the time that will vary also
