LPS has done a great job as well trying to prep their track. They have had a couple of slick dusty track but for the most part they have had decent tracks when I have been there.

What everyone needs to remember is that it has been dry and hot around here for months and that makes it hard to keep water in a track. This is making it more time consuming and creating a lot more work than usual to operate a dirt track(and if you haven't realized is a lot of work when conditions are good).

As far as slimy parts on a track that is a result of us guys in the sprint cars not running the track in from top to bottom. We tend to have a habit of rolling around the middle to the top of the track and not getting into the slop at the bottom. The slim on the bottom is a result of water running down the track as it is being watered not always a result of over watering. If the track official don't get on the track and force the guys working the track in to the bottom then it will not get worked in.
They did run in it. the track officials were on the track for a good 25 min or so when the cars wheel packed then they pulled the sprint cars and sent the mods out to wheel pack then the sprint cars hot lapped and before the feature they were back out there and made them run the bottom for probably another 5 to 10 mins before the a started then while they were waiting on the cars to change the flat tires they made them run the bottom. It was just too wet!
