Comparing 2022 vs 2021 at SOW

[Greg Phillips]

Here are the Top Ten from 2021 and 2022 to give you an idea of the increased speed at the newly paved track, partly due to better grip but also the smoother track allows the stiffly sprung track cars to get their power down much better.
The fastest lap of the weekend was Michael Chang at 1:12.86

Thanks for sharing.

If my count is correct, 13 track records set this past weekend. Not a surprise.

I was chatting with Duane & Martina Saturday at the event, and they told me they would be archiving all the records prior to the repaving because it was pretty much a new track now, with significantly lower times across the board.
