The 222 Camaro was running to rich on the long course but it was so bumpy the front end was shaking, even with low power
it was loose.
Tuned much better we tried the short course, better but eyes had double vision and extremely loose conditions at 40% or less throttle in 1st,2nd and third gear I shifted into high sooner than usual as I thought any more power would spin me.
High gear rpms were to low and fouled a plug, hoping it would clear up I stayed in it, still with a 209mph 1/4 mile time and on 7 cyl it slowly picked up to 228 mph and spun in the 3 mile.
Pushing across the track I noticed a lot of loose salt.
I was told by a dragger that the salt was just to dry and needed rain to bond and get hard,
2 cars pitted near us had extreme problems with the bumpy long course with vision problems, car jumping up and down and traction, one destroyed the heim joints putting front end out of alignment, they both called it quits.
I understand the draggers can't use the heavy railroad track drag as the salt is to thin, so they use lighter ones and can't get it as smooth as past years Lets hope for more salt lay down.
the tires on un sprung cars being towed back on return road in front of our pits were hopping off the ground.
Speeds were way down on a lot of fast cars.
