Default I love traction

Well i went to the midnight drags at the local track last night and boy did i run into a treat. first off it was completely crammed being the first night of the year. The runs are supposed to start at 11, but the first passes were finally made around 12. They had a new crew apparently because they had a kid laying down water for every car and it covers the entire staging area, so nonetheless nobody had traction the entire night. In my first run I had my tack up to 60 in the first 20 feet. Then to top it off someone blew their engine in the lines and had oil go all of the line up lanes. My fastest pass ended up being a 14.7. What a great night...

well everytime we have went to this track in the last 5 years, seems like they have an inexperienced crew. I mean how many honda civics out there need to wet their street tires for a burn out? That was the dumbest part everyone is on street tires so we everyone just carried water down the track.
