Builds are in!

Engines are all over the place: Acc has two 20's, a 40, and three 60's. Top speed includes two 140's, three 160's, and a 180.

Brakes are also erratic: Two 20's, two 40's, and two 60's.

It's going to be quite a race out front with two 120 starts speeds. That's followed by a 100, two 60's, and a 20.

Everyone bought tires with four drivers going all in.

Skill was pretty much all or nothing. Four drivers with no red chips and the other two with two of the big reds.

Based on builds, there appear to be a lot of ways to attack this track.
