Not sure about what rpm the rev limiters are set at on the new engines, climb...god question to ask...
Three Notes...one from yesterday, two for today:
Yesterday....when the top times from the moring and afternoon sessions were correlated:
Chevy had 6 of the Top 10 times in the combined results:
Gordon (3rd), Barron (5th), Carpenter (7th), Scheckter (8th), Giaffone (9th), and Mark Taylor (10th)...
Toyota had the other four Top 10 spots:
1 & 2 - Penske Team, and 4 & 5 with Ganassi...
Top Honda:
Matsuura -- 12th spot...
For Today:
1. The weather forecast is for temps in the mid-70s with very few, if any clouds....the winds will still be blowing but only about half the speed they experienced yesterday (10-20 m.p.h., and the higher winds aren't expected until this afternoon....)
Thus, I anticipate speeds in the low-mid 220s....they definitely will top that 220 mark today....much better condictions....
2. Hornish will take a G-Force chassis for a spin today....Penske wants to cover all ofthe bases like he did last year....I guess it is because both Dallaras were so close yesterday, they will be able to compare Sam's times in the G-Force with Helio's in the dallara today under similar condictions so that htey can make some chassis choices before may 9th rools around...
