Against the front of the class, by track and class

Track	Class	Sessions	Typical gap to class best	Closest
Summit Point Raceway (2.00 mi)	STU	3	+2.590s (2.69%)	+2.590s (2.69%)
Summit Point Raceway	STU	1	+2.590s (2.69%)	+2.590s (2.69%)

Gap is the driver's best lap in a session against the fastest lap in their class in that same session (zero is fastest in class), shown as time lost and as a share of the lap, so conditions cancel out and tracks can be compared. Typical is the median session.

Letters to Fastrack

HP Move SOHC Neon to HP.

#35370 from Alan Lesher · Not recommended · Minutes (2024-01 Fastrack)

Thank you for your letter but the performance potential of the Neon, with either the SOHC or DOHC engine, does not fit
within HP. All of the current HP classifications with 2.0L SOHC engines utilize only 8-valves with restrictive head and
intake manifold designs. This is not the case with the Neon which uses modern cross-flow heads with 16-valves, an
intake manifold with individual runners, and multi-port fuel injection. These cars (Neon SOHC & DOHC) need to show
their potential in FP when actually built to the limits of the Production rules before adjustments to their classifications
will be considered.
