i duno bout 10 cars from where i was sitting (driving joeys car) it looked like 5 or 6 probably. But i’d have to say you had a solid 3-4 before 60mph. Hard to tell, someone shoulda got it on tape tho, and i def shoulda raced you from a roll since you seemed to want to on the way there. I just figured since you said you werent gonna launch it we’d just do the dig. but i see how that turned out. :lol ---

Dude you’re such a sore loser :rofl Every time you set up a race in anything you always give yourself the one up, and handicap the other person, and if you lose you make up all these excuses. Joey even said he wouldn’t race my car from a dig because it hooks :confused What’s you expect to happen me smoking them into third? My car’s 2xxwhp too :rofl Joey this is an official dig race call out, I’ll even go from a 45 roll to appease you, while still keeping me in my powerband. ---

They didn’t ever in the past but I hear they are now or changed the surface a bit recently? Either way, for me, LVD had no VHT and was greasy from the all of the trailored big slick domestics that just happen to go on “street night”. I had much better traction on the dry street. ---

I had much better traction on the dry street. I hooked great the day I was there, my buddy told me the announcer said ‘THAT BEEMER GAT ALLLL THE TRACTION THAT TIME!’ Right after I launched :rofl Then again it was like 95\* when I was there, one of those “the-track-is-sticking-to-my-shoes” days. ---

It sucked on weds nights because everyone runs street tires and dicks up the track. Street tires kill the track prep :nod ---

The trailored cars should go to another night. It’s not fair for the others. NED/Island/ATCO/ETown all have VHT for the street tire guys. Why is LVD any different? ---

Because VHT doesnt make a huge difference for street tire cars, it helps but after a couple runs its all tore up, not cost efficient. ---
