i actually got accused of that one night after i got sideways. i did lose WATER but the jackass that ran before i did oiled down the track just before the finish line  . i dont think they treat the shutdown area at all. lots of high $$$$$$ cars getting loose there. good thing my junk is too slow  .

I knew you caused all those!!!!
That shut down has to be one of the shortest and going downhill I have seen.
I definitely saw more bad drivers than ever. Unless the steering was locked.
Happy new year to all you Smokers!! |

| Wouldn't you think that after 2 or 3 cars lost a wheel/tire/axle stub that the tech guys would start teching for retention devices???? |

retention devices ? you mean like lug nuts ? they dont check for those either. last time i was there a mustang was running with one lugnut missing and it only had four per wheel to begin with
the track itself really isnt that bad, just a lot of poorly setup cars bouncing off the wall.
