hi Ktexas, im not sure of the bar thing you are talking about, but it sure is a old run down track. and needs some mainance, and i heard the humidity is really high b.c its right next to a creek....

Im just hoping to get a better time with alot better traction, maybe on a different track

Yeah that track is really old, but its almost a landmark now. The bar is right by the hwy (hwy 93) its the only building between the track and the road.

what is that liquid they spray onto the track surface, off the back of the quad??? my buddies lighting ran a 13.3 in Houston but couldn't get better than a mid 14's at TAD because of wheel spin. but that little black S-10 seems to do well for some reason.

I'm not sure. Houston Raceway is a lot different than little ol' Academy dragstrip huh?

HI!... The liquid they spray on the track is called VHT. It's like a glue. I've been on tracks that if you walk the starting line you will lose your shoe.

I guess my 4x4 is killing my track times and I have a reg cab. I am troyer tuned, flowmaster catback and a k&n 77 series intake. I ran 17.303 at 79.12mph with my 22's on and I ran high 17.3XX the year before in Epping with stock rims and the bfg all terrains.
