Haha, no track record. Who told you, was it Joe? I did a 2:03 (2:02.97) great for me but pretty mundane for you GT3 guys

You and the core Nor Cal GT3 guys are faster/better drivers than me, it's not just the car that make you guys faster.

Well wow, buddy! Who the hell taught you how to drive TH? That was about as pitch perfect as I've ever seen! Booyah!!!

Just need to be more aggressive with the pedals and you'll drop below 2 minutes soon enough. Damn impressive for what you're driving, my friend.

Thanks Lar. Actually you're partly responsible for me learning to drive Thill. Used to lurk the GT3 section and watched some of the videos of you driving Giselle (miss that Avatar ).

Wow! You're a full second ahead of me and I'm in a '10 GT3. Great job! I'm working my way to 2:00 flat but don't think I can make it OEM however, that's the goal. Really nice driving, bensf!

Get harness and put Tony's roll bar in there, that's 1.5 seconds

I will be there as well if the weather cooperates.

Thanks for the compliment. Just buy Mooty's secret sauce tires like I did to get better lap times.

Nice lines. I think with midengine u can early apex way earlier(t8/t9/10) esp backside. U didn't line up t4(missed apex) well which made t5 slow thru there. U went in t14 too hot too which kills exit speed. Other than that well done. U do those well u probably reduce 1.5-2 secs. Mike
