Even though I've only been to the Glen once it seems like a track that has big time swings based just on weather conditions. I went 2:08 on not so sticky rubber in bad conditions and then went back the next morning when it was decent out with sticky rubber and went 2:03
Tracks change a A LOT daily which is why comparing times on different days is almost worthless, I was just curious what ppl were pulling.

^^ Never been there due to sound. Might be the only East Coast track I haven't been to?

My only time at the Glen in a 2016 Cayman GTS I was running 2:13 on MPSS, and I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer , so I would expect a well driven 991.1 GT3 to be in the lower 2:00 on MSC 2.

Summit Point, Dominion, Palmer, AMP, NCM, Pittrace, Charlotte Motorspeedway, me thinks you might still be missing a few East Coast Tracks.

Lets get going as I could use a little motivation to hit the road again.

Nice, I may try for October unless it's late August.

Summit Point and AMP been to.
Any of the other ones worth it?

I'm at Road America in 997 CUP and RS Aug 30/31 DavidMurry
After that Thunderhill Sonoma and ButtonWillow.

How can I assist?

If you can get waaaayyy up North to do Mosport ( a MUST), then keep going east to Calabogie, then Mt. Tremblant (Lance Stroll's dad owns this track and has a crazy Ferrari collection stored at the track) ....both worth it!

NCM and Palmer are both worth the trip for sure. Pittrace if you are in the area but I wouldn't go out of my way.
