BANGshifter extraordinaire Joe Grippo was at it again this New Year’s Day for Maple Grove Raceway’s annual New Year’s No Prep where they run both frontside and backside no prep races. The action is always fun, and the folks from the northeast who don’t care if it is cold, as long as they can race, are thrilled to death to be tearing it up at Maple Grove. 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.
So how is it in No Prep conditions at these low temps? Watch to find out.
