I hear it so many times from street car guys...."Track prep sucks" and I get annoyed at this for two reasons.
The tracks that are known to be conservative with the VHT all the time are loosing people to other tracks, but I understand the stuff isnt cheap..so I see that point.
The people that have 11 and under cars can spin out of the whole pretty good and that can be dangerous, but why dont they work on their suspension set up to hook in the first place?
I really think there should be "no track prep day" so people can dial in their suspension. I know its not a new concept in the grudge racing world, but have an actual test n tune day without any track prep.
If you think about it, your cheating yourself when you stick to the glue. You are dependent on the glue and not the real surface your car is going to be facing everyday.
I get more smiles per gallon on the road and got my car to hook well in the street. I am still working on my suspension because I want to hook on dirt! lol
Anyway, I used to race years ago and used to complain about this until I started playing around with suspension components. Now when Im just at a test n tune, all I hear is about track prep.
