What would you do? Slant performance

Yes, but...to be fair...is he running the same tires they were running back then? Wasn't traction a big(ger) issue back then? What could they have done on better tires?

(NOT to detract from Ryan Peterson's car - it's very cool!)

I think Ryan runs 8.5"-wide tires. The factory teams wore 7-inch slicks, not a lot of difference, but, some.

I don't think another inch and a half would have made up the difference; Ryan's car is too much faster...

Just my 2-cents...
