Four laps left- they probably run two laps behind the pace car then a two lap spring for the 500 finish.

For all the debris on the track anyway it seems made for ratings to red flag now.

Go Kanaan!

I think Kanan will win. Wouldn’t mind Ericson- his girlfriend is gorgeous- worth just seeing her

Great finish even with the crash. Ericsson deserved it- had the best car the final 20 laps

Erickson fastest lap of the day at 224.852MPH.

Not very fast considering a simple bare bones Cessna 172 does about 190mph. I figured they'd be doing about 300mph by now. But I guess they'd routinely just go airborne at that speed and fly off into the stands.

“Not very fast considering a simple bare bones Cessna 172 does about 190mph.”

Not even close. Try again.

LOL- does bare bone Cessna fly in the traffic of 32 other planes going 172MPH, bobbing and weaving for position in the confines of a 30 foot area with concrete walls on both sides???

No, I was simply referring to the speed, not the amount of traffic on the track.

Cessna 172 max structural speed is 145 (assuming you can achieve it in anything but a dive) 182 is VNE (never exceed).

Cessna 192’s do not do 190 mph. But if you ever decide to attempt it, please let us know when and where you intend to do so.
