Haha, go get em Randy. Sorry reter, you still have Randy by 6 sec at Sebring.

NJ, I would love to run time trials at road Atlanta but it's so competitive and the corvettes dominate around here and I'm no where near their times

I'll be instructing at the Audi Club event on the 18th/19th -- let's hook up and I'm happy to take you out in one of the first sessions and show you the line. Superb track for the RS.

TTU is a really strong class, one can run a factory F430 Challenge or 2010 GT3 Cup in the class, adding weight (plenty of weight).

The 2010 GT3 RS has better chances in TTS, but some weight needs to be added if you run it stock.

I would actually modify the ECU to have a lower redline and produce enough power to fit in TTS, instead of adding weight to fit in TTS. It would be much easier on tires, brakes, engine and transmission. Add a GT3 Cup rear wing and uprights combined with the GT3 Cup front spoiler lip. Think a 2010 GT3 RS with a 6,500-7,000 rpm redline, then reduce as much weight as possible and keep lowering the redline until the car is maxed out for TTS at minimum weight. It would be a torque monster, a proper LSD and car is ready to run.

For non NASA days, run the stock tune with the 8,500 rpm redline, and enjoy the additional 50 Hp.

Nice lines, nice driving. Definitely more speed to be had but considering these were your first runs at a new track, very well done! Wish I could've joined you guys but had prior obligations.

Have fun at Road America. You're gonna love it! Definitely my favorite track from the Mancation list of tracks, even more than the Glen. Careful when coming up fast behind a slower cars at the kink.

I am sure there was a 1:35 to be had, but just no clear laps.
At least faster then Izzone (Barely) so all the stars are alligned again and all is well in the trakcar universe.

Arrived at RA. Looks intimidating Tons of RS Porsches at this PCA event, so lots to learn tomorrow.
Just checked into the awesome Osthoff hotel and I heard the have a great bar downstairs, so more later.

Yeah, to bad.

All my advantage is gone, somehow we ended up with a 2 bedroom Suite. Surely he is in dreamland by now.

Road America. What an amazing track. The should rename it the mini Ring. Rainin hard this morning. No a place to make mistakes. 1 car totaled first session.

A/C and SC on. LOVE it.

PCA Nord is great. Dave Anderson who pre registered us offered to ride along to show the way. Super nice guys and organization.

Still have no idea where I'm going but look forward to figure it out. Plenty of rabbits to follow

Windows closed!!! Geniusses, many groups should come up here and take notes :-)

8RS's here. Game on.
