Default 10 Lap Times

Times will vary from state to state, and will also vary due to temp, pressure, propeller, and humidity.

In 428 at the last several Nats ten-lap times around 1:10-1:12 were needed to take 1st or 2nd in a heat. I believe fast time was around 1:06, but there were not all that many sub 1:10 heats.

In Quarter .40, times were about 5-6 seconds faster.

Pylons 2 and 3 are 100 feet apart, Pylon 1 is 608 feet from that line. I don't know the 2 pole distances.

As too Texas times, I couldn't answer that, I would bet times would be a couple seconds faster than what I listed above. The weather at the NATS is pretty soupy, and the planes don't go quite as fast.
