wvumtnbkr Posted July 7, 2021 Report Share Posted July 7, 2021 Random draw of pit stall as it goes for all champcar races. No qualifying. Be prepared for cars to go 1:14 at Nelson. That is damn fast but probable. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last 24 ran I wanna say I remember a Sahlens Boxter running an EASY 1:18-1:19 pace. The in car camera feed looked like the drivers could make a sandwich while turning laps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t use that as a race benchmark. I sat that by coming in cooling the tires and then go blast on it for a few laps playing around and trying different tunes. Not a sustainable pace. We had broken a hub and were out of race contention. Plus it was like a 114.9 if I remember correctly. But the boxters? Yeah you are right they may be able to sustain that after traffic clears out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By 4 am it was miserable again. This year looks better 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn’t get the normal tires and were stuck with what’s probably best described as an auto cross tire. The race weekend was nothing but a flurry of unexpected tire changes.
