Hey markm - you and I live this stuff every weekend. As a note, we raced the new concrete surface at Virginia Motorsports Park this past Friday, the track is green with very little rubber and it will take about a month of races for it to come around. But anyway, right-side groove in the right lane tossed even big-tired dragsters all day long. We were supposed to race Saturday/Sunday but we decided that working on our other racecar was more enjoyable than dealing with traction issues.
Anyway - my point is there is room for everybody and as long as they are squaring off and going at it, even if it's just for bragging rights - I am all for it. Drag Racing is a great sport and bracket racing is a pretty good playing field leveler. It's not perfect but few things ever are. I am glad 55 Tony is having some fun with his car - that's what its all about.
