I have to admit that I'm really impressed how the new Mustangs with the rear girder do. I think it's a lot like the Chevy push-rod V8's. Sometimes that old technology has some life left in it well beyond the point where everyone else has written it off. It does have the advantage of being simple and reliable and man will they hook up when you put the power down.
one thing i noted at the end of yesterdays race.
2 full course cautions at the end. taylor(i think) in a camaro was second, and the jack roush stang in the front. leading up to those cautions, that particular camaro seemed to be the only one out there that was able to pull away from the pack, and try to run the stang down.
now, comes the caution for debris on the track. drivers and teams do what they think they need to do, some fueling up, etc.....both of the leaders till that point were worried about gas. no more.
on the restart, the camaro had let a little space between the stang driver and himself....like he was gonna try to get a run on him at the first turn. green comes out, he tries, with no success. the roush stang pretty much just walked away from him.
then another quick caution. field bunches up again, but this time, the camaro driver tries it differently. he glues himself to the back of the stang driver. green drops again, camaro driver allllllmost gets a run in the first turn. but rather amazingly, the stang driver not only has better straight line performance, but he manages to show better performance in the turns too. and once again, he pretty much walked away from the pack at will.
i was looking, but couldn't find info on what engine the camaros are running in the races. are they using the 6.2L in this series?
