Anyway you'd think they'd do something to help promote multiple grooves on these type of tracks. It's a shame as that stuff USAC is broadcasting right now is not racing, not even close.
At the USAC sprint race a few years back at Columbus Motor Speedway they applied rosin (sp) to the outer grove and it provided enough grip to allow side by side sprint car racing. I have no idea where they got it or how much it costs but it could fix quite a few no pass pavement racetracks!! I guess you would have to get a good track prep guy like they do on dirt tracks so that yopu would have a good track for the feature.

Charles, that problem is said to be fixed. There should be enough room for everybody to watch. For some reason, I had a tough time getting on myself...But, after about a dozen refreshes, I got there...My advice is to keep trying. That's all you can do. Sorry...
