I wouldnt put too much credence on the meridian results.
Hell, I came close to beating the Z06's on raw time in an Fstock car on
the first day (Beecher beat me by .008 on raw time, Sipe by .2),
(cant compare day 2 cause it was wet for some heats,
drying for others, and completely dry for the later heats)
does this mean all camaro Z28s go to Astock/Super stock
I hope not.
Rob Faulkner has that Boxster turning really well and
Jason Saini had some blistering, hairy on the edge runs on
sunday, Both doing excellent driving.
On sunday, GH Sharp ran in much dryer conditions during heat 3 than did
Faulkner in Heat 2. So I wouldnt go by the final results to compare
superstock to A stock.
Look more at the day 1 results, since everybody was dry.
The pavement has a lot to do with it too. In meridian there were a lot
of off camber turns due to the way the runway is designed for rain
runoff.
And it is asphalt with lots of little rocks.
Topeka is much more bumpy, not quite as off camber, and concrete.
A totally different environment.
Its very hard to look at one data point and draw a conclusion.
Furthermore, the large courses at meridian do not lend themselves
to getting the best out of them in only 3 runs.
