Loren,
From what I can tell, what is going on is that these clubs run at small sites where speed is not gained so they are calling the sites where they can get more speed on the course "high speed" events. At the event yesterday, I went no faster than a typical Brooksville or Sebring event. But in comparison to the site where they usually run at - and I think this club runs in a bank parking lot in Ft Lauderdale - they were finally able to put in some solomns and sweepers that couild be taken at a "higher speed" and that came from speaking to the Martin Course designer. All the elements are there but they can put down the speed that we in the Central Region are used to due to having larger sites to work with.

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.
