    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........

    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)...
