Yeah, I was talking with some of people that actually work at the track, and traction compound is put down in the morning and TUFF SHEET if it doesn't hold up long into the afternoon. $$$$$ is the reason. Just wish ATCO had a DRY side to pull into the staging lanes. Water and STREET tires do not mix well. The reason nothing extra was put down (I think) was because we were coming to the end of the event. At 7:00 nobody had a traction problem, but at 7:30 it was. I would guess that the mist in the cool air was just starting to accumulate more and it affected cars with street tires more so than with slicks!
