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

it's all based on the DA (density altitude) and Maryland tracks are good places for good times/traps. well DA and track conditions, track prep, etc.. but the air/weather are big factors
capitol is only 40-45 ft above sea level so that track with good cool air will run good.
same with MIR in Maryland is only 80ft above and I know GT-R guys by me go down there to set PB's
