That's one minute for every ten years of my life. As an advanced Master, what makes you think that I can last 6 minutes any longer?

Will it be six minute races in all TC classes?

Very cool, if so.

The following deviation has been granted for the On-Road Paved Electric Nationals:

Deviation For Onroad Touring Cars only:
5.2.6 TC Deviation On Road Electric Any material used to add weight to a vehicle in order to comply with the minimum weight requirements for the class must be securely attached to the vehicle (the vehicle includes all electronics, suspension, and power sources that are mounted to the chassis). If such ballast falls off the vehicle during a race for any reason, and the vehicle is under weight at the post race technical inspection, the vehicle will be disqualified for that run.

To spray or not to spray.

I have received a number of calls from people wanting to know what sort of track prep will be done and will the track be prepped in the same manner for the events in the weeks prior to the Nats.

So I ask this question; What do you guys want? I can just clean the track and run it natural, or I can spray VHT. It does not matter to me, as the traction is good either way. The VHT makes sick traction but I feel its less consistent.
