Wow, that actually means that we go faster in 1967 F1 cars than 1998 Nascar stock cars at the Glen... Philippe Sergerie
> Wow, that actually means that we go faster in 1967 F1 cars than > 1998 > Nascar stock cars at the Glen... Yup, with a chicane included...The best WC laps are 121-123 MPH. Same as '67 F1:) Matt > Philippe Sergerie

Yes, because I find that the stock cars are more stable than 1967 F1 and because you have 800 hp at your disposal versus 410 hp in a grand prix. I guess the weight of the cars does account for the difference... Philippe Sergerie
Ahh, but the track was changed in about 1970... It's true that the "short track" at Watkins is similar in shape to the earlier track, but there were quite a few changes. So lap time comparisons aren't apples to apples...

I think on the same track the winston cup cars would be faster. -- Kevin Anderson ICQ # 6769389 Oscar FB Div. 10 >> Does that somehow surprise you?
