As if the traction and track prep weren't good enough..They are laying new pavement down right now..This is the best prepped track I have ever seen..Always worth the 5 hours of drving round trip..All the GTA guys should come down next spring. I love..Can't wait to go down the track on new pavement..

You honestly think this is the best prepped track? I'll say that they do a decent job of prepping the place when it's a big event, but T&T is a joke there... not to mention the timing equipment is a little optimistic...

I loved running at that track last year as I picked up 5 MPH that I never managed to see again... I don't think I woult try my current setup at that track given the short shut down... it's rare to see 175+MPH cars going down... Sanair on the other hand is a top notch track...

There is 8 sec cars there everyweek i am there..Maybe u went there on a bad day. I have been to TMP a few times and the hook sucked but others say it great..I have gone 1.53 60 ft there on my bald bfg's. Shut down is a little short i have to admit.

Dom's car went 9.56@148 at TMP with a 1.4 60 fts..No changes and the next week went 9.53@149 with a 1.37 60 ft. so i don't think the timers are off..Great tail wind too..Can't make everyone happy..I just think it would be a great place to have the GTA guys, Ottawa and some Montreal ppl there..

The staff always get us in there so plenty of time trials..I may try to get a track rental there next spring..Good opportunity to get some of out there and have some fun..

Sanair is the best ! Naperville seems to have good traction but I tend to agree with the generous MPH statement !
