Whatever has been done at the shop so far this season seems to be working.

looks like that wind tunnel time was time well spent.(remember all the folks that where questioning Daytona testing vs tunnel time) This is the answer.

Does wind tunnel testing for daytona translate to other tracks? or are there other wind setups (for lack of a btter phrase) they use to simulate aero at cookie cutter...short tracks etc..

Basically do they alter the wind tunnel stuff like the programs on a 7 post?

a thick book of data that can be applied to many tracks.

That time held very impressive...

Also, Mark Martin Kurt...when they did their long runs all their lap times were 128s 129s were were equal or better on our long run
