Overall track comments:

My tires did not spin the entire night. Seemed to hook up very well. It was not until an hour later on my drive home that I realized that in all six races I had my traction control on. With traction control off I would expect a little better times due to the computer monitoring/restricting horsepower to the rear wheel to avoid wheel spin. I wonder how accurate the Compulink computer on the track was especially since I actually won the last race against Guy although the computer showed different. My board actually displayed first indicating I had won. There was a wreck in the right lane earlier in the week, this cold have affected the computer. It has been stated that the Montgomery track is actually a few feet longer than the Steele track. However, it is still considered a 1/4 mile, this would make 1/4 mile times a little slower. Air temperature was much higher than at Steele, this definitely affects horsepower. With my newest upgrade (UUC exhaust), I was hoping to see better times, however track conditions (air temp, humidity, etc.) varied very much than that from Steele. I will try to get to Steele again when conditions are closer to my first visit to determine HP gains from newest upgrade.

Coming soon more track results and videos.
