Here's a first crack at a best times list:

Long Beach     57:952    Lola93/Cosworth     Sampo Jarvinen
Milwaukee      169.292   Penske 93/Buick     Herbert Pohlai (Joystick)
Michigan       239.557   Penske 93/Buick     Herbert Pohlai (Joystick)
Portland     1:14.818Wet Penske 93/ChevyC    Kevin Coulter
Portland      1:06.064   Penske 93/ChevyC    Kevin Coulter
Toronto       1:03.448   Penske 93/ChevyC    Kevin Coulter
NHIS           171.032   Penske 93/ChevyC    Kevin Coulter
Nazareth       164.841   Penske 93/ChevyC    Kevin Coulter
Laguna        1:13.481   Penske 93/ChevyC    Kevin Coulter

Didn't get many times emailed to me. I would like to note that all of my
times are using a keyboard. (gots to get that darn joystick fixed).

What are the current opinions on flightsticks, etc?

How much do they cost?

One last time....

Laguna     1:12.153    Galmer/FORD       Greg Cisko

1:12....  Well Ive done 1:08.474 using Penske93/Buick and using Joystick.
I used ace settings, just changing the gearratios and fuel.

Laguna      1:07.912    Penske/Ford        George Smiley   Flight Yoke

What I want to know is how in the world does one go anywhere
near 181 mph at Nazareth ?  I have tried and tried and only
barely managed to crawl over 170 even with Buick power and fumes
in the tank. What are the settings for a 177 - 181 lap at
Nazareth ?

Speaking of which, isn't it funny how at Nazareth I qualify near
last many mph down to the leaders yet I manage to easily pass those
leaders during the race running the same lap times as I qualified ?

Using a joystick on a 93 Lola/XB:

 NHIS  171.773  During a practice session. Probably can do better
                since this was at least half tanks.

 NZ    171.181  Forgot to write down the conditions for this, but I am
                having the same difficulty getting near 180 as everybody
                else. Likewise, I can't qualify very well but don't have
                too much trouble getting ahead in a race.

I was quite surprised at how much more powerful the Buick was.
