I completely agree, the North track wasn't great on Sunday and the sled settings didn't compensate for it. As for the tracks being rough... I completely disagree. This isn't blacktop pulling but they weren't rough. I stand as close as anyone (except the flagmen and unhookers) and I walk out on the tracks on occasion and they are anything but rough. One session did have a scraper driver that wasn't the best (slow) but I only remember seeing one time when a pretty good mound of dirt was piled up; in the first LSS class when Korth was hooking the third tractor. He drove down the other side of the track so it wasn't an issue, but it may have played a part in his decision to head to the left. Other than that the tracks were smooth.
Now I did see some good bouncing this weekend but that was either tractor setup or sled setup because there where no holes to bounce in. The grader (yes, it was used to build every track) and the scraper did a good job keeping things smooth. The sled setup causing a bounce was most noticeable in the 4wd classes and that caused some pretty good hops when the box topped and the pan dropped.

I think what happened sunday was a track that was finished at 10am and sat in the sun for 4 hours and became pretty hard. Then they watered it down good but that just added a thin layer of good dirt and under neath was dry ground. They should have just started pulling in the north side while they pulled the legends on the south track. I still think after Terry test hooked they should have stopped and gotten the track into better shape, it was obvious watching the diesel trucks that there was an problem. But they probably didnt want to stop pulling again, since they had already sat a half hour after the super farms.
Thankfully none of the mod classes pulled on the north track or there would have been some serious carnage. All in all, you cant have a track that bad, at that pull, on the big celebration pull off. |
