I just got home from a less than perfect weekend in Las Vegas.

Here is my opinion why everybody runs hard in Las Vegas.

The starting line in Las Vegas is one of the best we run on out here on the West Coast.
When the air is up to 3500 plus feet of Density Altitude you can really lean on the car and make it run faster relative to the corrected index than you can at sea level. You can absolutly hammer the car on the starting line and hook it up. The altitude allows you to mask chassis limitations since you don't make as much power.

I don't think Frank Grossi's car was working well at Indy. He had a new engine combination and they had not had a chance to sort it out. He is getting a handle on it now but I think there is more left yet. And if you watch he almost always has ice on it for the qualifying runs.

As far as the factoring goes? Who cares? It is an imperfect system run by imperfect people. It can never make everyone happy so either accept it or run a class where you are not subjected to it. Seems easy to me!
