"A little while ago, someone mentioned to me that he thought the problem with Foxes isnt that they're slower than the other cars, rather that they work the tires harder so they loose grip earlier, so by the end of the race they're done for."

I asked Al who this "someone" was where he heard this theory b/c it is the exact opposite of what I feel. This was a couple of weeks ago and I never got a response.
I feel the Mustang is strong at the end b/c of its lighter weight. But what do I know, I'm not a director.
Sorry to bag on you Al, I just feel if we are going to be putting forth effort to analyze data that we should be focusing in the right direction.

OK, rant off, now to see what the data says.
The tire issue is something I think we have all been told by "Ford guys" from time to time and blame was always placed on the need for high negative camber settings. I don't know who made the quote though.
