This track has been raced on 3 configurations (Scoring Sidebar, 2.40 mi; 17 Scoring Sidebar, 2.53 mi; 16 Runoffs Scoring Sidebar, 2.26 mi). Laps on different configurations are not comparable, so only events on the 2.40 mile layout are shown; switch above to see the others.
Sectors are not comparable across all of these events. Sector times and the theoretical lap use Runoffs 2016, Ohio Valley Great Lakes Champions 2025, Great Lakes Champions 2026 only. Great Lakes Champions 2024 (different number of sectors) counts towards whole-lap times and trap speed only.
2 laps are 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
S1 SF → In 1.19 mi
S2 In → I6A 0.56 mi
S3 I6A → SF 0.65 mi
SPd In → Out 0.02 mi
Sectors are numbered in lap order from start/finish, whatever each event's timing called them; the loop names are SCCA timing's.

EP Rollcenter Correction Clarification
#25873 from Bill Lamkin · Rule change · TB 19-04 (2019-04 Fastrack)
fasterEP, FP, HP clarified: tapered holes in ball joints now allowed for bolt conversion; wheel bearings and hubs unrestricted at any wheel.
Note from CRB: 9.1.5.E.5.b.2 in “Suspension and Steering Level 2: Suspension Components” states that “Suspension control arms, bushings, bearings, and ball joints are unrestricted.” However, allowance to ream out ANY tapered hole from a stock ball joint does not exist, unless being done to a specifically unrestricted component, like a suspension control arm. This is not the intent to restrict in that manner, and should be clarified: In GCR section 9.1.5.E.5.b.2, add wording as follows: “Suspension bushings, bearings, and ball joints are unrestricted. Tapered holes can be drilled or reamed, to allow a bolt to be used in place of a ball joint.”

Note from CRB 9.1.5.E.2.o.5 in “Final Drive” states that “Axle shafts, bearings, bearing carriers, hubs, and universal joints/CV joints are unrestricted.” Therefore any of those items, all of which are defined in the GCR, that are part of the final drivetrain system of the vehicle, are indeed unrestricted. However, this rule would not apply to a non-driven axle, as it is not part of the drivetrain. It is agreed that allowing unrestricted bearings and hubs should not be limited to only the driven axle, and it should be applied to both axles/at any wheel: In GCR section 9.1.5.E.5.b. add wording as follows: “6. Wheel bearings and hubs are unrestricted.”

Open cars must remove convertible soft tops and all attaching bracketry and hardware. If the stock windshield is retained, OEM and aftermarket hardtops are allowed.
