Scott and a few others know the BS that has gone on over at BR. Well it's gotten kinda worse and it pissed me off, so I put up a poll on Corral. Gimme some feedback.

Yeah, even my car high 8 second 1/8th benefits dramatically from good track prep.

i've always run on street tires and i can see a HUGE difference between a prepped track and a 1320 STYLE non prepped track........


i see how if the track isnt prepped the other cars wouldnt have an advantae over you, but at the same time a well prepped track is not onlt more fun, faster, but most importantly it is safer......

Yeah, it struck a nerve with me Scott. Just because we don't all have purpose built race cars, doesn't mean we aren't as good as others or worthy of trap prep. Pissed me the fuk off.
