340? What are the odds? (1 Viewer)

[Bubba]

Weather conditions look good in Vegas this weekend. Coolish, dry and light winds are forecast.

Brittany has gone 338 at LVMS; can she, or someone else, go 340?

maybe someone should eclipse 340, so changes can be put in place for 2022 and beyond to slow everyone down.
i think that is in the best interest for everyone involved. if 340 is not eclipsed, IMO racing will continue next year unabated

Temperature forecast for 4pm today is 81°-80° and zero cloud cover all day. That's to warm in my opinion.

You would need conditions like Maple Grove to pull that off.

The DA right now is 3480 ft.. It is not going to be any better and really up to 4000 ft. at any time the fuel cars are running so don't expect any earth shattering times. Air density in the very low 90's with water grains in the 30's.

Well it would be impossible to have that since both tracks are in completely different climates and elevations. However Las Vegas does offer low humidity, low water grains and thinner air. We've always run more speed at Vegas because of the thinner air.

Also, No trees for oxygen like M/G.

Careful or we'll be at 680' next...

Looks like the best shot is to reschedule second round of qualifing for 8:00 AM tomorrow and hope the track holds.

Appearently nobody told Grubby that the conditions wern't all that good. If they can get that 8:00 AM second round in He might just do it.

I saw Alan Johnson back with Mike Salinas. They could make a real quick run also. I think the Top speed will be with Brittany as that's part of Grubby's tuneup.

He never left.

Alan has not attended all the last 3 or 4 races.

I'm guessing Brian Husen (he's still with Alan, right?) was present and just does video conferencing with Alan if need be. Just a guess.

Yes he is.

The world is a changin' folks!

Take for instance, Steve Johnson, His crew chief Can't be at the track. Video conference with the software being at his side. He can make the tuning calls.
