I'm not even in the same league as the Mancation crowd - but I could keep the cooler full.
That puts you in the same league right there.

It is ur perfect opportunity to post a wtb thread for centerlocks...better than snapping wheel studs

Once again seen many improper installed centerlock on this trip, I believe failures are user error

Ran a proved 2:18.5 on old skinny hoosiers under 95F in Sebring, (Harry with external GPS). I'm going for the lead. 2:15 on Slicks is doable. Stock engine and stock transmission. No re-gear or big engine or cams.
From all the DE Cup drivers, you're the one that can get it done. There are too many small driving details that slow down most of the others.

Plus, I saw you spank Clarke on equal conditions (both on R6), despite of your car running on skinny tires and not being geared as good for Sebring. Every lap you were opening the gap on Clarke.

I'm glad to pass the DE Cup Sebring trophy to you for next season, but Clarke or any other visitor, no way.

Dave?
Most people buy crappy studs. Mooty shipped me a 997.1 GT3 RS with trash studs, first ordeal was to get them removed and install good quality ones.

My 996 GT3 had more wheel changes than any other car I have owned, always on stock lug bolts, they are in perfect conditions even today.

My Fiat, Titanium lug bolts, I bought a spare set 2 years ago expecting them to wear out, the lug bolts are as good as new, and the spare set is sitting unused.

I prefer lug bolts with floating collars than studs.

You also prefer an Italian one lap wonder kit car over a fine piece of robust German engineering

Enough said......

CL FTW

I have compared my laps from Race-keeper GPS and iPhone Harry's and they exact with 1 or 2 laps at 1/10th difference which is typical with GPS speeds/timers.

He will come up with a 4 paragraph esay for you most likely referencing Ferrari data that none of us have ever heard of.

You're one of the most on the edge in control drivers I have ever given a point by to. I have no doubt you will be putting people to shame at Winterfest and best your times.

I have done the same with trackmaster on Android.

only to goto another task and it not with at all. phone gps systems are much more finicky and inconsistent. too many false lap times from the harrys timer to consider it reliable.

I would consider it paired with gps booster, those seem to work wellwith the phones

I should correct myself and say...my iPhone Harry's app timer was accurate with the phone in the Tom Tom gps booster cradle. Every once in awhile I'd get a lap where it did not reset and would trigger a double timed lap.
I know from my boat gps speedo and the Raymarine chart plotter gps speedo on my boat and the gps speedo on my Garmin for the car vs Iphone Harry's speedo that 2 different gps units can be a tenth off at times.
