The problem with it is cars that run with treaded tires. They drag the water up on the track. Alot of guys with radial tires think they need water to do a burn out. The radials just hold the water in the tread and drip it off in the launch area.

At our local track (Luskville) it is a lower budget type deal same as Shannonville, They prep one lane and only let cars with a drag type tire run in it. The other is lightly sprayed but nothing major for the radial tire cars. That is way it should be. This way nobody is wasting the prepped track on hondas that try and spin to the 330' mark. They just ruin the prepped surface for the cars with a good tire.

That sounds like a good idea , i didn't think of that.

You wouldn't want water on the track part.

They should do that.

GLUE,VHT,STICKUM!ANY TRACK THAT DOESN'T SPRAY IT SHOULD CLOSE THEIR DOORS.trying too hard to put all the money in their pockets instead of giving us a safe sticky track to race on.they spray a small amount just to say they did it.that is until the big boys show up once a year.all tracks on the regulars who keep them in buisness.stupid management is all that is,bad buisness.they talk about street racing(i am against it btw)and that people should go to a track but then give them nothing better than the street surface to race on.sometimes not as good as the street surface full of cracks and dips and a terrible shutdown area.i'm talking bad tracks in general here.ya gotta spend money to make it!

Race City fits into the "no prep" kind of track
