95F sweating!
Mid 1:30's still best time. We got faster, track got hotter and slicker.
I just play camera man and tape the lunatics:

Nice driving, fun track. Lap times in the 1:30s on RA1 are solid.
I bet Izzone is still in 1st place at the Thunderbolt DE Cup.
Trakcar 1.1's clutch seems to be holding well so far.

How many Black Flags and 4-off did GT3DE pull today? He seems to have run out of French Blue crack stuff?

I tried longer harder. Miserable lurning curve, I am sure it's not pretty, but these are the last 3 laps of the day. All I had and just enough. Love to get a do-over on a below 98F day.. I am exhausted, you know you are getting faster and finding time, but the timer barely shows it.
I had to beat up the car pretty good. PP is giving up slowly but surely. Randy and Clarke both got high temp warnings or limp mode.
At least I kept it on track. There are not too many walls and the possibility of a spin or 4 wheels off was pretty good for me today ;-)
No I go drink beer and cool down>
Thanks John (luv2race)for making this happen for us today. Awesome. We owe you one.

^ Peter (or Reter ? lol) - Looks like a pretty good and fast learning curve! Apex speeds are good everywhere but T8. Using your vid, from 2:26 you hold good steering angle from T7 to 2:29. At 2:30 look ahead and you will see the bleachers at the esses. Aim for them, ie, open the wheel and brake there. Yes really early and relatively lightly. Look R and when you can first see (or earlier as you get the timing down) the curbing bend R, turn in (yes early). At apex, open the wheel, or you will spin or go off as you've documented, lol, and drive straight to the bottom, L side, on throttle (essentially crossing the track from R to L, from top to bottom, T8-T9). Ride the inside like you've been doing - cant do much more than what you are doing - be patient. Your T8 apex speed is dropping to 45 mph. Try to get it to 50+mph. I can do this in a stock (but for GT3 LCAs) 7.2C2S on Nittos, so you can too. I do 32s. So given the heat you are about right once you get that corner down... Very good driving! BTW, best summer laps at NJMP are the first ones in the AM so hit it hard early... 
GL & Best.

If your there tomorrow I can take a quick look at your data Need to adjust T4 (no downshift) and use more track to the left entering T5 (toss away 5 for more speed in T4). Stay more left leaving the octopus left hand sweeper to straighten the essess to the bridge. Good speed in T3, T6. I will be there working with several GT3 drivers. Hope the rain holds off.

Clarke drifting on Michelin slicks is a great sight, few people have the skills to drift on slicks.
Nice that your car is fixed, I have a mother load of Sebring data for you to study before Winterfest, and I think I had a lot of seat time in your car, it would put to shame a lot of the newer hardware, perfect Sebring GT3.

Umm, guys, do take advantage of this offer... Bob is very good... Here is a vid -
Peter: http://vimeo.com/27260784 @ 15:39 is an example of the T8 entry (altho pinched - not as wide L before turn in - as a result of the race, etc) done right...

There are 4 possible configurations at Thunderbolt due to the two chicanes.
PCA CR times use the 2nd chicane. The same configuration applies to GrandAm DP/GT/GS/ST.
NASA NorthEast runs w/o chicanes, the TTS class record (where the 996 and early 997 GT3 runs) is a 1:28.3, while the TTU records (where the 3.8RS and 4.0RS runs) is a 1:25.9. TTS and TTU allow Hoosiers, TTU allow slicks, slicks should give 3 secs at NJMP-T, so Izzone is doing pretty good.
996 GT3 Cup with the last chicane ran 1:30 at this year's PCA CR.
