Track temp is always one of the things people talk about at drag races. If it’s hot outside, everyone is talking about how high the track temp is and that it is hard to get down when it’s really hot out. On the flip side, in the winter there are often folks talking about how the track temp is too low so cars won’t get down. And in a prepped scenario, the temp really does effect the traction compound. So if low 50’s start making track prep specialists nervous, you have to imagine that below freezing would be insane.
And how about if it is a no prep event? Whatever is down on the track is what is down. That’s the scenario that was going down at Maple Grove Raceway for their annual New Years No Prep event and the outside air temp was 28!
Will anyone get down?
