A lot of the new lap records that weekend were in new classes, or classes that had been sped up. T1 and T2 are now both faster classes, and T4 and BS didn't exist a year ago. As for STU:
Jan. 22, 2011 Hoover set the STU track at AAA Speedway at 1:53.897
Jan. 22, 2012 he reset the STU record with a 1:50.115
Jan. 27, 2013 he reset it again, at 1:48.792
Looks like those STU turbo car adjustments are working.
