Sorry but no. I generally take the day before racing to prepare. And I spent the entire day at Altered Atmosphere.

LOL. Get a good nights sleep. Wash the car. I refuse to take a dirty car racing.

I see my problem then. That must mean my graphics are creating drag for like an extra .5 right..? WOW, if I take those off before I run, that would be the best thing I could do for my car.

Sweet, I will try that next weekend

man whast with the hate towards capitol. Ive run my best times there. at Mir i always run .3 slower and i can feel it. MIR does track prep for 1000+hp cars and when i run on it its like trying to sprint on flypaper...

Come to Northern PA and run at Beaver Springs or Numidia raceway on a Friday night or Saturday test and tune. Then you'll know poor track prep.
