Sure looks downhill in the video, the tracks over here are slightly uphill as they are ex-WW2 runways, they usually slope downhill in the shutdown so the opposite really.
They are great times for sure, just trying to understand why a stock car can pick up 25-26mph in the second half of the track when my car can only manage 20-22mph. But a google search (high trap speed captitol raceway ) found other drivers having high terminal speeds also
If you look at the drag times tables those terminal speeds are very high compared to everyone else , cant help thinking it must be environmental , or perhaps the air is just really good
