Bad Day At Englishtown Raceway

I went down to e-town for Import vs. Domestics. There were some nice cars there alot of Camaroes and Lightning's running 12's. My first bracket run went well I raced an older Integra beat him and I got a new best time.
Dial-15.6
R/T-.661
60'-2.434
1/4-15.067 (I was really close to breaking out)
MPH-88.20
I was pleased with that. Then for my final run I am wating to pre-stage and the worker walks up to where the tree is and wet mops it! I was like whatever I line up and go then I hit the water. I just kept spinning them, I was so freakin ****ed, I just gave up then and just drove slowly through. The part that annoyed me the most was my R/T-.551 I ended up with a 17.467 @75 mph. I didn't see the car ahead of me leave any fluids on the track so I have no idea why they wet mopped it.

Same thing happened to me last month at Etown. I put on an unintentional burnout display in my 2K2 and coasted to a 16.8X second ET. Etown staff is EXTREMELY **** when it comes to track maintenance. I swear, they must have a spotter that calls out the maintenance truck the moment a racer is seen sneezing in the car.
