I haven't heard yet, but I am assuming that Neil Shelton took top honors at ORP in the 'drop the lap record the most' contest. He lowered it by about 30 seconds in FF, which would have been really hard to beat?
 
Nah - I think Blackwell did better with his Atlantic car running in FL.
From 2:25:... to 1:37:...
Neil might be next on the list.
 
not official but Blackwell, Shelton, Linsen, Gordan Jones, Sheldon lemoin, Rob Rissberger and i might be forgetting someone. I believe thats how it ended up.

It must have been cool to see the Blackwell Atlantic on that track! Obviously a lot of drivers were paying attention to this contest and a few of those time spreads are amazing.
Thanks for posting the list Jeff.
 
It would be cool if we could get a big open wheel group out there next year. some fords,v's and some sports racers. i would really like to see some formula 1000s. That would be cool.
