They usually do but the key is keeping the cars moving to put heat in the track. I remember last year in the cold thats what worked to have some traction but there will be times when you wont hook on some passes early in the morning. Just watch me since my mickeys always hook, if i'm spinning then you can gauge how the track is. On another note for sats. t&t is that they are having a junior dragster event going on at the same time, not sure how that is gonna work.

yeah i thought i remember hearing something about the jr dragsters on the atco hotline. p.s. i managed to get a clutch on tuesday night lol. i talked to tommy and he had a couple rebuilt ones at his house. he had one for sale so i grabbed it. and yesterday i installed it, and tooday till saturday i will be breaking it in. my mood went from piss poor to happy as hell after he told me about the clutches he had at the house and for the price, i couldnt beat it
