Billy is fine from what I hear, just a little sore. I am going to try and swing by his place Tuesday. I'm sure he will put something else together soon.

It seems that a lot of it is cars getting crossed up and not recovering. Whether it be them trying to pedal it, or if they have no chance. Bowman just seems unforgiving to a slick car when it gets crossed up at all. I cant recall a drag radial car having an issue out there. I was just saying.

x2, i agree 100%

And that does seem to be the issue that ive seen thus far from Bowman. Maybe its just that theyre not a lot of radial cars there for it to happen. Hopefully it stops being such an occurence.

What I heard this weekend was "some tracks are drag radial tracks, Some are slick tire tracks, and well the others just suck ass".

With the times DR cars are running lately why would anyone use slicks?

pfft.. it's all in prep, radials like a total different prep than slicks., or cliff note version. radials like prep and slicks will go down dirt roads.

refer to the dirt road comment above. slicks are very very very repeatable.
Also, what fun is it to slap slicks on an run.. radials= "Ya got to work on it son" : Troy Sir : lol.
