Conditions were varying actually. Last weekend was better(i.e. cooler all day). Times significantly faster now in the morning, fall off afternoon when it turns 70*. Road Atlanta is fastest cold as long as you get heat in the tire, my favorite is 35-40 and sunny with A6's.
Leh beat Reese for the TTR record by hundreths. Reese's tranny broke so he couldn't get revenge. Leh on Michelin Slicks, Reese on Pirelli's I think. It was a great weekend and I have some awesome front and rear video of the whole thing. You should see Leh and Reese trying vigorously to get heat in the slicks on the outlap (looked like alonso). Got a point by from Leh and Reese!!!! (on the out lap
Beat Reese's old TTU record by .8. Troy even got to 164 mph on the back straight when he took my advise to take out as much rear wing as possible. I'm only at 166 now, for some reason my rev limiter is kicking in just before the braking zone costing me 2mph. Got walked by a cheating TTU Corvette claiming 550 whp and 3500 lbs. 
Either way, had lots of fun. Left some time on the table for sure though. My goals for next year are high! I still have 45 whp I can add and stay in TTU. I doubt I'll get much more weight out, so adding power may be my only option (though I don't really want to). Would rather shave 120 lbs (car handles better on full tank).
