Lime Rock Sept 17 NASCAR Modified Race
Lime Rock News Release;
" Think about this, as we compare a Grand-Am Daytona Prototype sports car to a Whelen Modified at Lime Rock: "
* A Daytona Prototype makes 500 h.p., weighs around 2,400 lbs. and is aerodynamically efficient. It uses a sophisticated 5- or 6-speed sequential shift gearbox
* A Whelen Modified makes 600 h.p., weighs around 2,600 lbs. and is as aerodynamically efficient as a barn door. The gearbox is a 4-speed Jericho, with first gear removed for Lime Rock
* A Grand-Am DP has an average lap speed of a bit more than 110 mph at Lime Rock Park; not far behind, a Whelen Mod has an average lap speed of a bit more than 102 mph.
* The DP lap time is a tick under 49 seconds; the Mod does it in 53 seconds flat
* At the apex of the Downhill, a DP is going 124 mph; the Mod around 116 mph
* The DP reaches 161 mph on the front straight, the Mod 148 mph
