Thanks Marty. That is a very interesting video with a lot of teachable info. Very nice.

What engine hp/car weight are these cars? They have a lot slower top end acceleration than I expected for some reason (i.e. only getting to 120 or so on Mid-Ohio's back straight). Perhaps they have a nasty total drag value or something, but even acceleration out of the Keyhole didn't seem as much as I expected.
