Usually if you race friday you can bet its gonna be dry slick the second night. Good job guys, that new clay must be working.

SLM47 tacky? what are you talking about? It was hard asphalt on Friday and they tried to bring it back. They were able to wet it again and get it to slick up and not be so abrasive.
Saturday the water just wouldnt dry up on the track so it was kind of sloppy wet until the main. Officials actually had a water pump on the burm to drain the water off the track because it wouldnt soak up. The positive thing about it was that the tracks were opposite each night and it made setup a key component to winning. Vogt in modifieds on friday was unstoppable and then a back marker on Saturday.
Tarlton and Murphy were the only sprint guys that seemed to have it figured out both nights.

There IS a very positive thing to say about the track. EVERYBODY had the same track to race on both nights. It went from one extreme to another & made for some great racing. It showed who can really run on any given surface & who cannot. The winners loved the track & the losers hated it. That's the way it always goes. It's easier to blame the track prep than the car or the driver. I wouldn't change a thing on either night of racing with the exception that it could have gone a little quicker.

At about lap 26 of the Sprint Car Main I started getting tired of being hit by little chunks of mud......... It was a lot better than being covered in black tire dust at the end of the night though. I will take the mud chunks over tire dust any night.

Robby I wasnt there I was just going off of what people where saying about track. Sounds like opening night for the LMs where the track was just snotty. Like menely said its like that for everyone though. flagdude, on a serious note. They need to raise u up off the track for safety. Have u ever thought about that?

its not about everyone having to race on the same track! its about have a track race on at all... for you that were not on the track you have no idea... this will tell you how wet it was in our heats... same thing happened to me as did crockett in his heat...we were leading it, and you hit the brakes to set the car and the tires locked up and slid on the "mud" and killed the engine... yeah it was that bad.

robby robby everyone has to run on the same track were it be sms or bako or hanford or , robby you & crockett were the only 2 that happined to , but i must say this you went from the back of the a-main to finish 5th nice run all on that same track , you both had backed it in to the corner a little to hard & when you did the rear tire's were up in the cusion that's what killed the motor's , but good job robby from last to 5th , tim & tom do 1 hell of a job , i bet both there wife's get mad at them staying so late or to get that track ready every week end , good job tim & tom
