We will post more later.

Yeah, I was there crewing and instructing for a couple of folks. He certainly ran some good times, but the track has improved quite a bit and those track records just keep falling by 2 seconds plus every year. Amazing. If I hadn't wrapped up the Southeast Division at Roebling in July, I would have run there. I would like to see what I could have run for a comparison. I guess we'll see in October at HPT!

Now, could someone explain the data?
For Andrew is it:
14 Laps
in 29:26.967 minutes,
fastest lap of 2:04.279
on lap 3
averaging 94.722?
If so, then I'm amazed how close the C5Z and C6Z were here.
C5Z average RACE lap time of 2:06.211
C6Z average RACE lap time of 2:06.378
Does anyone know the specific setup of these cars?
Tires, Sways, suspension?
TIA

The C5Z is built or set up be the #1 T1 race shop in the country, Phoenix Performance. T1 suspension ( not sure if they run Penskes or Morton shocks) Hoosier As not Rs, and I would guess a Fresh engine to get ready for the Run Offs in a few months.
The C6Z has the new C6T1 suspension straight from GM Performance on Hoosier Rs
