I'm going to have to check and see if that car is stock like mine! After him hanging out with all those cheaters in FL, who knows what that cars has (albeit still an excellent time).

hmmm... I have a better idea - let's turn off the lap timers and chase each other around, let's call it "Bumper Tag". Who wants to play?
Dude, your iPhone Harris's Lap Timer thingy was throwing 2:18s all day at Winterfest, and I was passing you as a sitting duck lapping in the 2:19s range, except when I was slowing down to cool down brakes and A6.

2:02 at VIR, in your white Aero Beetle, doubtful. However, you have a chance to prove it...

Oh how, can I forget about the cheater bits. I know it's at least 40lbs lighter in the rear

Some of that may be your set up and/or pressures.

Send me your best laps data, I'll let you know what I see...

As usual great event. Finally got my car on the track after fault codes from my gas pedal sensor. Never fully got my car to turn in correctly in the lower part of the esses and lost braking capabilities but nevertheless there was some improvement. Tried trail braking in turn 10 for the first time. Any comments are welcomed. See you guys in September.

One of my best laps with a 996-3 .

My mechanical problem through me off and I had to make up time. Still did 300 miles even after only getting started at 2pm on the 1st day. Btw, I'm the grey GT3 in your Ford GT clip you posted (unfortunately the session got black flagged bc of disabled car). September....

Ramon AWESOME lap man!!!!

Clarke has a 2.01 or lower EASY so anyone who wants to keep up better just skip straight to a cup car because that's not an easy lap time for a 996 cup to run. Speaking of Which Bryan nice times in the CUP and be patient you'll be running sub 2.00s in no time but 3s and 4s are no joke so GREAT JOB!

I think we need to get some P cars to VIR in late June to run the N course w/ BMW. I won't keep up w/ Clarke on the big track but I may have a chance on the North

Here's a 1.35 (c51 tires had several heat cycles) running a time trial with the THSCC on the north course.


The THSCC will have another event in Sept or Oct on the full course w/ a time trial each day. LOTS of track time (instructors had 8 sessions they could run in each day at the last event) and then let the clock do the talking at the end of each day If you want to run slow laps bring your R compound street/track tires but if you don't want to make excuses and run some low respectable laps that are worthy of the car you spent 100k plus to own use some real tires
