Well, it is the oldest track on the circuit and probably the average speeds were lower when it was built, but now it seems like the track was made for destruction. How anyone can pass without spinning the car in front requires a lot of care. I don't see any difference when FOX has the race since the crew is the same. The tech topics on the chassis and engine are always neat and informative. I am not surprised at the tire wear considering the extreme tire angles for better cornering and the acceleration from about 4900 rpm to over 9400 rpm with a 6.5 ratio rear are truly amazing as to engine life, simply amazing. It's almost like doing TWO 1/8 mile drags every lap! I was surprised Keselowski was teed off after he tried to squeeze out of the pits, it was really tight at that end of the pits. Even so, really entertaining if you are not a driver!

I check in everyday and some are better than others. I don't think Brent has anything to do with the forum anymore, but I'm not sure. Hopefully as time moves on the forum will get better.
Where is everybody?
