One week out! Per Bob's email a few days ago, I'm going navigator-less this year--I can save the weight of an extra person, which means my car will be ~450 lbs lighter this year than last. That should help on the back straight hill. I calculated my target speeds for each section of the track a few weeks ago; I'm hoping to better last year's 62.8 mpg, since I was averaging way over 45 mph.
