You know, Im the first to B**TCH when a track goes dry slick and honestly, Im usually right and the racing suffers. But I've seen some great Dry Slickie races. Especially if the track goes totally slick and not just around the fast lane where everyone has to hit the rubber to go forward.
I seen some drivers say they couldn't get ahold of the track, That the track was too slicked and hard. Even seen pics from Saturday Morning where they basically just sheeps footed and watered from Fri Night. But that video shows a good race, Thats what I go to see, Sure we all want 100mph average and monster sliders but four wide and close is good too.
One night that amazed me a couple three years ago was a USAC race at LPS, The track went super slick, Casey Shuman was kissin he tires looking like he was doing 20mph around the track, others were hauling and smashing the cushion for all it was worth. But it was two and three wide for the lead. Casey broke with two to go and Stanbrough who fell back to eighth at one point won on the last corner of the last lap running right through the middle.
That video shows three and four wide, Ballou didn't grab the lead till about half way, It went green for 35 of the 40. And Ballou who may be one of the least experienced at that track won and Kane who probably has only the second most on that track to Danny Smith was second.
