Deputydog With regard to RRR. Your line could be improved.. Also carry a lot more speed into 1-2 (Double apex). Best lap times are achieved there by using a constant but gradual increase in throttle from 8 (back side of the track) to the front straight. The car will feel much, much more planted because of the flat surface an modulation of the throttle there besides a constant increase will unsettle the car.
Video below is Qualifying last year in my M3 Race car. I can turn a 1:16.6 in 3,100lbs 240hp car. most of which is gained in 1-2 and 8-1.

Just watched your whole video. Had some serious dicks in that qualifying session... Nice driving on your part though.
I see your'e using TM. Any chance I could get the data from your 116?

So I can beat you there too? 
All kidding aside, Roebling on paper should be the worst track ever. It's short. In a ****ty location. The paddock is dirt with a layer of pine needles. You can't come or go until the sessions are over as you have to actually cross the track to get in and out. And the people that run the track are rude and appear to hate their jobs.
However, it is one of the most fun tracks I've ever been on. Flows like no other. I've only been a couple times but I really enjoy it. Looking forward to going back.

Disagree Dep, it's my least favorite and fits it's paper classification. Too repetitive, same type of turns over and over again and a straight. I have zero excitement for that track.

I only have Data of late. The RRR was Dec 2011.
Qualifying should be treated like a DE but w/ even more courtesy w/ regard to passing as to not disrupt a fast lap. At times you'll get knucle-heads that act like the guys did in that video...
Your 2nd video was better with regard to the line. Biggest savings you'll find is braking a ton later into 1 bleed off the brakes to settle car again to start turn in (like a trail brake). It's a bit tricky but you have over a second there in that one turn you could gain, IMO.
You can carry more speed into 3-4 and brake a bit later there too.
Lastly 8-10 looked better because you short shifted (good) which will allow you to bring in more steady (not so torquey) throttle all the way to the back straight. I would come in 1/2 - 1 car width to the right so that you can carry more speed. There is a slight dip before pit entrance look for it and straddle that.
RRR is a campground like race track. I hate it every time until I go? Maybe the last couple times we've always had a good time partying. But it is refreshing to run a track w/o so many consequences when you go off...

You do!
I'll set the base lap for you guys.
+1
Agree to completely disagree.
Dave, I would love to get some input from you before the next time I go RA or RR and I will bribe into spilling the secrets :-) My best in a 3.8RS is 1:175 on RA1. I think I can get a secong with the 4.0 and NT01 front.. Still no good. RA Maybe a 1:32 over the 1:34 with 3.8RS?

Nice looking car Randy! Lightweight early 911s are a blast to drive. Plus there is no sound quite like an air cooled motor with carbs. It will bring a smile to you face as you get faster and faster with each session in the car. Yours looks like it has a a lot of nice stuff on it. And definitely reach out to Bryan Hise at JRZ. He'll be a huge help with shock settings for your car. He really knows his stuff.

We'll agree to disagree on that. You guys are only running fronts.
I've run all 4 with both brands and find them comparable. If there is a difference, it's slight. I couldn't tell a difference anyway, but I'm still relatively new to all this. Certainly not NT01/RA1 to Hoosier difference.

Other than him locking up the tires in the video I posted. I don't think he has any. Took to the car really quick. I was expecting him to loop it for sure. Much to my disappointment he didn't :-)
