Are we really getting faster?

I thought they (the press release) stated Davenport went broke the Belleville track record 3 different times on Monday night.

#Note I never looked at race monitor as someone said they weren't showing laps times so I never bothered to look, well they are showing them now.

fastest single lap per session
JD hotlaps 00:16.004
qualifying 00:16.308
heat race 00:15.966
feature 00:16.318

I really don't know if he has the track record or not due to it him breaking it only in hotlaps and heat race but not during qualifying, shrugs.

Still think the old Brunswick was faster.

Wayyyyy faster. Madden set the track record at 144 plus!

A state trooper clocked him on radar at 174 on the back straightaway!

What gear was they pulling, lol

A 4.11 gear at 8285 RPM is required to hit 174 MPH

Bill Schleiper sat in front of me the night Dan won. Everyone was debating the actual speed. I asked Bill his opinion. He told me they calculated the gear vs tire diameter and they thought 175 was correct. That place was amazing.

Bloomquist in his prime passing cars on the outside entering 3 was amazing. No one else really passed anyone.

My opinion is Eldora isn’t close to that place. Nor was the old Gaffney.
