Just out of curiousity, I'd like to know what kind of track preparations do you have over there in the US? Some kind of special tarmac or what? Compound?
We have a 1/4 "track" here with no prep whatsoever, just regular tarmac.
BTW, my best 60' was 2.4 (with the infamous "low rpm stumble").

 

Well, I don't have a Camaro(use to have a 1991 Z281LE) but here is what our tracks use:

Traction compound is usually VHT sprayed on the surface.

The actual track surface can vary depending on each track. Typically it's concrete out to the 60' mark then asphalt the rest of the way down. If the track has a lot of money, more of the surface is concrete. That's why racing on old airport runnways is nice. It's usually all concrete however all the old dirt should be swept off first.

A properly prepared track will be scrapped at least once a year. This means using tiger torches (large propane torches) to heat up all the old rubber. While it's still warm, it's scrapped off the concrete surface. A heavy layer of rubber on the concrete produces a slippery surface.

Depending on the size of the crew, scrapping roughly 100 feet of both lanes takes about 3 hours.

 

Thanks for the infos guys!
