What does the race track do to prepare the racing surface?

Its a fully prepped track. They ran a top fueler there at the same event for show. Lots of super twin bikes etc...
I got an invite to run for show at vw event at the same track next weekend, so i will run the same setup again as many times as i can, then try to lean a little bit on the next event.
Also checking if the high speed has been activated. Got a tip to put a little grease at the bottom of the pill holder.

Not sure, i was busy with my own car so didnt get the chance to watch it, only hear it 8)
But i know they had tuned it down quite a bit to save things as they run in the European series...

I was trying to get an idea of what the fully prepped track would hold. Our local track puts a lot into track preparations and it give big results. Our injected 355 SBC ran 1.07-1.10 60'on alky. The 377 blower motor was running sub 1.0 60' but broke the rear end 2 x. it has been common to see racers run their best ever times at Central Illinois Dragway. George
