A good example of a bad track.

Had another local pull this last weekend. The track left something to be desired. Rock hard on top, but too soft underneath. It got worse with every pass. First time it has ever bunny hopped.

Me in the 7500, it popped out of gear, which has never happened before, either. Not too sure on the distance, I think around 300-310'.

Matt in the 8500, 271'

Matt again in the open, the track was really tore up by this time. He had to get out of it. Not sure on this distance either. It appears to have survived though.

Nice hops. I can see how that would really tear a truck up. I would still love to try this though, looks like so much fun!!!

At scheids this past weekend one of the guys running the track drag was using reverse and digging into the track really bad. The track kept getting more bumps as friday night went on, and there was A LOT of broken parts in the pits. Several trucks jumped right off the ground. Saturday night that guy wasnt there and the track was beautiful!
