Events

Sectors are not comparable across all of these events. Sector times and the theoretical lap use Runoffs 2022, Runoffs 2023 only. Runoffs 2019 (sectors cut at different points) counts towards whole-lap times and trap speed only.

One lap is left out as timing errors (far too short to be a lap of this track). The rest of those sessions, sectors included, is used.

One row per driver and car (a driver who changed cars has a row for each). Each cell is that driver's best in that car across the selected events, with the session it was set in. Best 5-lap stint is the mean of the driver's quickest five consecutive race laps, and consistency is how far their median race lap sat behind their best in that race (small is a driver who does it every lap); both come from the race with the best stint. The fastest in each column is purple, and a car whose best lap is more than 115% of the fastest in its class is greyed (marked ">115%" beside the driver) and left out of the colour scale. Click a column to sort, a row to highlight it. Theoretical lap is the sum of the best sectors, whichever laps they came from, and never slower than the best lap (where a car's fastest laps were recorded without sector times, its best lap is used). The 115% mark is about the car's best lap only: a car whose best lap is within 115% of the fastest in its class is never marked. Greyed sectors with no theoretical lap mean the sector times on file do not add up to a believable lap. Letters refer to the events above; Q is qualifying, R a race.

Sectors

Sectors are numbered in lap order from start/finish, whatever each event's timing called them; the loop names are SCCA timing's.

EP Re-organize Prep2 Cylinder Head Rules for Clarity & Consistency

#27661 from Production Committee · Rule change · TB 19-12 (2019-12 Fastrack)

neutralEP, FP, HP cylinder head rules reorganized for clarity; no performance change.

In Production, GCR section 9.1.5.E.2.e, delete section and replace as follows:
e. The Cylinder Head can only be modified:
1. To install an alternate camshaft, and/or adjustable cam gears.
2. To port match on the port mating surface to a depth of no more than one inch.
3. To facilitate the installation of permitted alternate components, provided the modification serves no
other function.
4. To achieve the maximum specified compression ratio by the machining of the deck surface.
5. To completely plug the holes resulting from the removal of EGR valves and air nozzles. The plugs must

serve no other purpose.
6. To completely plug the stock fuel injection ports in the cylinder head, if the stock fuel injection is
removed and carburetors are utilized. The plugs must serve no other purpose.
7. To utilize O-rings to replace or supplement a cylinder head gasket.
8. To fit valve seats. Valve seats are unrestricted. Valve seat angles are unrestricted. The valve seat
insert can be no taller than one half inch.
"e. Cylinder Head
1. The cylinder head may be modified to allow installation of permitted alternate components, provided
the modification serves no other purpose.
2. Valve seats and valve seat angles are unrestricted. The valve seat may be no taller that one half inch.
3. The cylinder head deck surface may be machined to achieve the specified compression ratio and to
allow the installation of o-rings to replace or supplement the cylinder head gasket.
4. Holes resulting from the removal of EGR valves, air nozzles and fuel injectors (if the stock fuel injection
system is removed and carburetors substituted) may be plugged, provided the plugs serve no other
purpose.
5. Cylinder head ports may be matched to the intake manifold to a depth of no more than 1 inch from the
port mating surface."
