See it's a NHRA track. Do they not have track standards? (serious question)

 

Which track standards are you curious about?

 

Here are the NHRA and IHRA track specifications, what part of this thread has any of these in question? A matter of fact they re did the track last year up to the 1/th mile, one of the better hooking tracks in the division and its one of the best prepped.
