I'll be taking it to the track when the tracks prep their tracks better. So far havent heard of a track with great traction this summer.

Which is great for a track car taking a lot of driver error out of the equation.

Either you're not going on the right nights or you need to do more suspension work.

You go on a normal tnt or ricer night, you're going to have some problems.

This past weekend at Ennis the track was terrible. Couple drivers said they will not return to Ennis for another race... Everyone I spoke with said they would have gotten just as much traction on a raw street surface..
