    How can I get a conversion chart for a 2 mile track? (Auto Club Speedway)

      I don’t have a chart set up but any speed can be found if the lap times (in seconds) are known.

      ((Distance (in ACS case, 2 (miles)) / lap time in seconds) X 3600 will give you the average speed for a given length of track.

    And, of course as we’ve seen today, this works for Pocono Raceway or any other 2.5 mile track as well.
