dont shoot me, i'm not hatin. what are the front wheel drive guys supposed to do in the case. they have to drive through the water box to get the front tires wet and of course the rear tires follow. unfortunately the burnout does not "burn" the water off the rear tires. when the fwd car stages the WET rear tires are located roughly where the rwd cars tires are. i have been at bmp and been in this situation.

I agree, people need to take the DR DIRT crash course on what and what not to do at the track

How about this one for you serious racers. Ever go to the races on a promotional night? ie Jet Truck/cars

All the crap those jet powered vehicles lay down on the track makes it real f in tough to get any traction in that particular lane. Half the time if the Jet Truck or cars were going to be at the track I would not even race. Wasnt worth the effort to me.

I cant speak for BMP but when I raced at Norwalk in Ohio those nights sucked.

True, it was a ride out into BFE but a nice facility and worth the trip, sure beats Thompson on the east side of town.

Im a transplate, spent 28 years in that state, you would be suprised at the amount of quality racing that goes on there but im not a kid anymore and playin in the cold/snow just isnt as fun as it used to be, besides ya have to put your toys away 6-8 months out of the year much better here no doubt, you can enjoy the out doors allot more

Take a bunch of beach towels with you and have your girlfriend put 'em under your rear wheels after your burnout, then drive over 'em to get to the starting line.
