Just found this video of Van Svenson at the Glen. You guys didn't mention him at all and this is some incredible video so even though I wasn't there I thought it fair to post this as one who is enjoying this thread as pure entertainment. Really awesome driving! For those that want to cut to "the chase" fast forward to 4:50 for where the fun begins.

However, be aware his throttle bar is 100%, all the time! Not working, so don't try that in your car thinking he's flat, all the time!

A little something from Indycar on how good the track is after the repave. They were 5 seconds faster than the old track record. http://www.racer.com/indycar/item/13...!hinch_hill_WG
How many track records were broken this year?

A little smack talking there...
Actually, Dixon did a 26.8 in 2009 and Hinch's video lap was a 1:34... Talked to Penske crew and they were marginally quicker than last time out.
Yes, they BETTER be quicker. They haven't been there for six years!
It also helps that the cars are lighter by a few hundred pounds, more powerful, better aero. Apples to oranges. Besides, they gave a wide berth to the curbs...
