This layout of Homestead was only one year removed from a repave so there is a lot of grip on the track. Nowadays Homestead is like a mixture of old-school Atlanta and Darlington for track shape and rough surface.
They are faster in the corners becaus they literally dont have to lift that much sometimes not at all depending on the air, that takes away the talent aspect of working the gas and actually driving the car .......they need to get back to the horsepower

You can tell the cars today are quite a bit faster in the corners

Hella more downforce today. These cars were faster because of more horsepower.
Do you happen to have the qualifying session from the second Phoenix Cup race in 2004?
What ever happened to Bob Dillner?
