That would make the most sense, so track conditions are the same for
both benchmark and test laps.

Cheating? Well, that certainly makes me want to watch a corrupt sport.

applies to NA$CAr-racin', u should follow NFL & MLB players to apply
corrupt more correctly. Nancy is correct however in her assessment that
Roush in '05 found something that the other teams & NA$CAr didn't discover.
Maybe that's what got his Gong Show on The Discovery Channel?

I believe the benchmarks are set just prior to the kids' competition. That would make the most sense, so track conditions are the same for both benchmark and test laps. |
