MaTS1200 Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 The hook at NTR is legendary. I went there once this year......once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Removed Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 on wed night they dont VHT the track!!! sunday money races is where the VHT gets used! plus remember it is all new surface there this year! plus the rain today most likely didnt help either!

Mattsv8 Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 cheap bastards go buy your own vht and put it on your tires. im done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurkvinny Posted June 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 I believe the cheap bastard involved here is NTR. Use the entry fees from a handful of people to cover spraying, even once an event, and keep racers happy and coming back. Track was VERY smooth though. Kudos for that, at least.

Jelloman4571647545499 Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 cheap bastards go buy your own vht and put it on your tires. im done. Why would he have to provide the VHT when he is going and paying at a Track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Removed Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 cheap bastards go buy your own vht and put it on your tires. im done. i have a bottle of it behind my seat, for .......umm...yah anyway, track surface is 100% better then ever before. no humps at mid track in the left lane or in the end of the right lane... after john force came unglued last year, they finally did something about it.. but the wed entery fees barely pay for trophys, and the ambulance crews! I wonder if they VHT on the friday night street tire wars, most likely not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buck531 Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 I'd go there this year, but the thought of getting in 2 runs in 6 hours is just hideous. It's not even worth my time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buck531 Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 you gotta make power to break the tires loose :-P True. 140 hp won't do much at the track. I even have slicks for my FWD POS and it still was cutting shitty 60's at trails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitrousbird Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 Friday Test and Tune would be great if all these 15+ second ricer fucks (with a focus on the + ) wouldn't show up, slowing everything down to a crawl and crowding up the whole deal, making it very boring to watch and crappy to race in.

Mattsv8 Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 if you cant afford your own vht. than you proably shouldent be racing anyway. poor - cheap - bastards. and dont complain about the track on a wen they dont spray the track because who cares about the import drags. go on a sat or sun points race and actually race for some money. oh wait. your proably not a good enough driver to compete with the regular weekend racers. you might need to cut better than a .200 light. . lol. Oh and i have no traction problems in a s10 and spray off the line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nurkvinny Posted June 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 So you ran what?? -Marc A Nova on the 1st pass. Some mid-90's Import on the 2nd pass. BTW, was that you coming in on a trailer down Rt 40? Passed a black Elc as I was heading home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are for break-in and burn off fun. I KNEW I would spin through 1st, and I did. But all joking aside, I hooked better on the street. Affording VHT isn't a problem. On slicks, I don't need it. This doesn't really fit here, but my first light EVER was a .501. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand when people complain about ricers street racing, then complaining about ricers racing at the track. It is a public track. I dunno. I guess people always need something to complain about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
