The first hour

It's perfect weather for racing, at least for the drivers. Cars seem to prefer damp air and 50s.

I brought my trusty little Bushnell radar gun this weekend. Probably the fastest point on the track is coming into turn 2, which can be taken flat out. I won't say these are terribly accurate as I'm having to shoot a a bit of an angle, but it will give a decent comparison of speeds.

#3 - 97 mph

#49 - 97 mph

#38 - 96 mph

#26 - 94 mph

#51 - 93 mph

#99 - 93 mph

#33 - 92 mph

#58 - 92 mph

Several cars out with engine failure in the early stages:

#44 Tow Mater, burned piston

#83 Mayhem Racing, lower end

#4 Mid-engine crisis, rod knock

#3 and #49 are racing hard nose-to-tail with #3 barely able to hold off #49 every lap. They are clearly the fastest cars on the track, as evidenced by the top speeds posted above.
