Only 10 mph slower than 235 on the same 1.5 mile oval??  I need to check
the books on that, but I think the issue is a combination of both
lateral and gownward g's and sustaining them over the length of a race. 
Too bad this couldn't have surfaced *way* earlier though.  Has no one
ever practiced or run fast laps on TMS before this?
