Practice speeds for Sonoma. Wouldn't put much into these. Listening to in car audios and crew chiefs while this was going on, there was alot of give and take on the track. Many didn't get their HOT LAP in the way they wanted.

Thanks for your assessment. So, does the practice session provide you with any guidance on who to put on your eight man line up?

i loved bell and he sits 36th on the fastest lap chart, so that sucks.
tire issues may be a problem, not wear related, but the tires are getting too hot from the repave and may blister.
i'm taking all the practice notes and throwing them in the trash.
i'm battling in a head to head league, so i'm not posting many suggestions until i get knocked out of that contest.
i hate to say it, but i think with the new pavement and a wall instead of tire barrier on that big turn, this is a crashfest.

Oh and don't forget the strategy especially if there's a wreck about halfway through it first stage.!
