That time trials and areo dependent cars aren't a big factor in single file train racing. Maybe poor track prep plays more of a role than people are willing to admit. A whole week of guys running high, low in the middle. 1st place cars in "Clean Air" being run down and passed. It seems East Bay found the solution to train racing. A little hard work goes a long way to putting on a good show. Great job East Bay Raceway Park!
Track configuration and prep is the only thing that matters. I've said this in debates about formats/time trials/passing points/inverts. give these guys a well prepped track that allows for different racing grooves and they will put on a show regardless of where they start.
my opinion: the number of tracks that can consistently do this is far too short. and the big two series continue to go places that they shouldn't.
sounds like the racing at east bay has been terrific. congrats to those responsible.
and just imagine if there was no inverts
No Eastbay is an outlier when prepped correctly because it is difficult to make the car steer well. Leader can't steer, his aero advantage is mitigated.Quote:

East Bay put on as good of a 6 day as anywhere. Great job on the track!

Wow, one bad night and they must not care, the whole season is shot. Time to bash them on my social media... Better take a selifie with my lip pooch'd out. Must notta got what he wanted from Santa.Quote:

Well I was at East Bay all week and I will say that the droop rule was not in effect and I did not see one car flip over. Been with Lucas this whole tour and yet to see a car flip because it was too high in the rear!
He has a radio talk show on am 820.Quote:

I was there and it was shaping up to be a good finish until Lucas made that decision!
There is ZERO chance of a second groove developing if you go single file!
Why the snarky comment? Are you the track prep guy at Ocala? That was his opinion. Before we hear all of your opinion, you should read the first sticky in the gossip forum. There is such a thing as disagreeing, with out being disagreeable. Thanks for making this a better place.Quote:

Maybe he makes one bad post and you think his whole posting career is shot?????? hahahahaaQuote:
