Default Anybody around PA, what do you think about Pittsburgh Raceway Park

Just wondering what some of you that have been to PRP(keystone) think of the track.

I have my own opinion and quite a few people might agree with me, but I was up there friday nite and the best run I could put down was 14.3 at 99.8 mph with a 2.63 60ft time.

I was on 23" BFG drag radials with only 10psi in them and I was spinning them past the 100ft mark. I have heard of people putting down 1.9 60ft times with these same exact tires that's why i think it has to do with the way the track was prepped

Even the cars in the slick class had to let off around the 1/8 mile because the were breaking the tires loose and loosing control, but I'm also wondering if temperature had a huge factor I would say it it was around the high 50's to low 60's at around 9-10 PM

yeah that's the way I feel too and the fee for the Test n Tunes I went to this year was $20 to race and $15 for spectators, It would be nice of them to use that money toward taking care of the track

i think the problem is it has been through a couple of owners. about 8 years ago, it was CRAP.
it has gotten better, but i think that they should invest more money into the track, to get more interest from racers. the clean up crew is soo slow; for a soak down of the track, it takes an hour. i've been to tracks that they clean it up in half the time. just my opinion though.

PRP is an ok track. Trust me it could be alot worse. I never had an issue with track prep even back in 2005 i went 11.87@118 on a BFG drag radial. An 11 second pass on a BFG under 120mph is really unheard of. so it must not be that bad!
