The road course has been changed for Saturdays race. I doubt we'll see any sub 11 second laps because the new design is more technical. The difficulty level has only increased slightly.
If you like to drive your car, you'll like the new design.
Thanks for the help Gixxer.
The oval remains unchanged.

Jeff, Last week I ran a 96t spur with a 36t pinion (64 pitch) with tires that were down to about 56mm.
But, that might be a little off. When it comes to oval, I'm not the best person to ask. I havent really been able to figure how pan cars work.
