Default 1:33.78 on NJMP Thunderbolt Chicane

NJMP Thunderbolt Chicane - 1:33.78 - April 20, 2017 - old RE71s - headers

First time running Thunderbolt with the chicane. I like it -- more turns = better!

Ran a 1:33.78 so that's my new personal best.

Headers and RE71s with 10 - 15 track days -- gotta check my records but these tires are almost corded.

Sorry the audio cuts out so often -- loose mic cable, apparently.

Default Auto Club Speedway - 1:49.82 - 24 April 2017 - Hoosier R7 - Suspension mods

AutoClub Speedway, Fontana, CA, in the PCA Zone 8 Time Trial held Sunday, 24 April. My best lap of the TT, as well as my personal best for the entire weekend was 1:49.82. 2nd in class and 6th overall. This was my first time at the Speedway. Tires are Hoosier R7.

I also need to give a shout out to Black Sheep Racing team mate Laura Ely. Laura put down some staggeringly fast lap times in her Clubsport and also managed to achieve a personal best in the TT and 2nd overall. I must point out that the guy in first place was not driving a Porsche, but a Mustang TransAm race car. The rumor in the paddock was that he was merely there to practice for an upcoming TransAm race.

Here is a video of my best lap of the Festival...


Looks like I should have kept my foot in it. I probably could have gone even faster. But... I took the kettle off the boil for a lap to celebrate and soak it in, and the kettle simply cooled down too much. Next year!

Homestead running banking 3&4. First session, before it got too warm, a sequence of laps all better than my previous best and then a scorcher 1:31.35.

I envy you guys with temps in the 60s or 70s at the most....last track day we were at +90s (and very humid). Not good to work with tire temps/pressures. This forces local PCA to keep hits at a max of 20 minutes at DEs so everyone enjoys a full day. On the other hand...was able to track during winter

Texas is crazy. From about November to May the weather can range from 90F+ to freezing, high winds, tropical monsoon level rain, to the most beautiful day you can imagine for a track day - and it can change in just a few days.

Are you running a SmartCam? How did you get Oil Temp, I didn't think you could get it even if you were wired into the ECU (I am).

I've got the SmartyCam HD v2.1. Is that what you have? I'm tied to the CAN bus and that data is definitely there.

See attached. PM me if you don't see that field. Remember you have to configure the Solo DL to send that data out to the SmartyCam.

Thanks.

I have the same as you. I need to check again. I really don't want it on the cam, i just want to be able to display it on the solo, but I guess I missed it.

Nice lap. What do you use to edit down the file from the smarty cam to a single lap?
