Yeah, no-tow speeds are harder to find. Probably only mentioned briefly in articles rather than fully listed out. But I think it was Land who said no-tow speeds on the first day are probably meaningless. Most teams are focused on race setup / performance in traffic. He noted that VeeKay's tow speed was barely higher than his no-tow speed. I don't really care until Friday when they're on qualy boost and everyone tries to do qualy sims in clean air.

Increasing the boost pressure for quali only is a gimmick and I wish they would stop doing it (or allow the higher boost pressure in the race). Just artificially trying to get those speeds up with the final CART at Indy years.

This is the only reason I would want to see tow vs no-tow this early. I think they were saying Veekay and Illot's tow to no-tow were not separated. Its going to be tough for those two to make the field.
