I have seen fuel cars go down the track in cooler conditions in Pomona on multiple occasions.
    Well Jeffy. Where am I back peddling????????????
    ............did the sportsman dragters get down the track ok?
    Did the nitro cars get down the track ok?
    What would have been the track temps been AFTER AN HOUR for the turn around for the next round?
    How many times did it rain at Pomona races you said were cooler? Rain takes a toll on the track prep.
    I've seen an outlaw car run 6.00 and all over the track with track temps at 57* last November in Vegas.........shot the track with my own temp gun. I went back to the staging lanes and called off the test run. Two seconds later they said that's all for tonight.

    Don't be mad because someone actually has experience with fast car.

    The weather was just an excuse. It was the bumps in the left lane. Given the unrelated tragedy, I can understand NHRA's sensitivity on the topic but I am embarrased for the NHRA to not admit that the track was unpassable for PS cars ALL WEEKEND LONG! Weather was fine on Friday and Saturday when 2 PS cars ended up on thier lids in identical crashes.

    Google some combo of pro stock, phoenix, left lane and there are many motorsports outlets with the real story.

    I agree. You don't read a single statement from a Professional Driver relating to track temps. It seems to be a track surface, prep issue with the drivers.

    It seems like ever since we got that big rain storm the left lane is uneven towards the top end. At my ET it isn't a super big deal as I can still drive thru it.
