Randy,

Watch this video starting half way through - I have $10 on you - great momentum driving - less gear changes - great entry speed.

Correct, but too far with GT3s.

Slicks and a 996 or 997 GT3 will surely take you out of TTS, penalty is too big (0.75) and these cars bone stock are near the limit of TTS.

TTS Nasa record is WITH the chicane. They do a terrible job listing the proper track description when the run the track. The record from last year was by a GTS3 car running out of class. (detuned M3). That was no chicane, but a good time for TTS would be a high 26 this year.

The track is not very rewarding of power, but likes a loose setup. This past year has been spent getting the engine together for a proper GT car. I finally have a good engine tune for August and some bugs worked out.

Here is a quick primer. Car is on R6's, 993, no real aero (wing only), stock 258whp. Wide body setup, very loose (200lbs lighter than stock). A real good a lap, no mistakes is .7 secs faster.

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.
Clarke can drift anything, he will be featured in Sideways Six after he missed the roll call of Furious Five.

I calls the mother load of Sebring data unfair advantage!!!!

I'm still amazed at the willingness of these lunatics to put all that shiny body work in such close proximity to other lunatics.

[/QUOTE]

I think Randy even flips Clarke off when he got sideways the lap before....

John, thanks so much for setting us up at NJMP!!!!

My offs (3) were when using old mich slicks, apparently not much grip at hc 14.

Put on fresh hoohoos on the front, and 4 hc rears. Had fun chasing down pair of corvettes, best was 1:27.67 with Sly shotgun.
