Silver 3 should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid

I have seen close up the Cup Cars start to go away about from 1/2 way down ConRod-- greater aero can have big affect on top speeds achieved-- sometimes surprising which cars are fastest thru trap speeds . The first time I went there I expected to walk away on straights-- but I was about 10kmh down on Cup Cars.Actually better off on shorter straights.
