The second place Corvette had cones on all three runs one day. Without them
he would have won by 1.3 seconds, putting the DP Miata behind by 1.8 seconds.
That's a lot of time to make up with a little weight loss.
Are the cars in AP fully prepped? Are the old cars in DP fully prepped? Or
just prepped enough to beat the other cars?
