Indy data to me would be the real performance data since the AHFS is turned off. I really believe nothing is coming from all of this, just continue to slow those cars down for the averages is the new game.

Last Data post maybe ��. Cause I am a man of my word, Herbie I did one better and looked at the last 5 years. Here is the simple version of the data. Note I removed any runs that were not below the index to limit the sample bias. Please look at the attachments as trying to transpose tables does not work very well. There are things to consider when looking at the data like weather conditions.
