I am trying to decide which diff. ratio to use at Pocono. My car has no speedometer so I don't know how fast I was going last year. ITS or fast ITA data will help.

I was there in 2004 but I can't remember for sure what speeds I hit.

Thanks,

Greg, just out of curiosity, what was your trap speed at the end of the Road Atlanta straight? (just for comparision, my speed sensor was intermittant, but I saw 118 on the fastest reported lap.)

Hey, if you don't have a DL-1 (and a good friend to show you how to use it) then, well, you suck.

Terminal velocity?

I hope the plastic car's aerodynamics will help, especially over Joe's shoe box........

you should bring the egg down to daytona and find out what it can do!

The Pocono weekend is a double Regional. Saturday night the the region is sanctioning a 3-hour enduro, but without the South Course chicane that we run in the Regional. That would mean using about 3/4 of Pocono's 2.5-mile tri-oval unabated...!

I'm giving half-ass thought to entering just so so I can see what the top speed is (and maybe set another lap record)...
