First time at SP in 2 years, Sat was mostly wet and cold. I ran all but the last session Sun on the old 235/295 setup. I wanted to heat cycle the new setup so took a guess on initial tire pressure and ran the last session with the 265 F. Temps were in the mid 50s and there was a lot of traffic so only got a few flying laps before a Black flag ended the session. I perceived more front grip and I set the fast lap then but the tires were new and at their best. I'm running WGI with Metro, I have lots of WGI data so will have better info after that.
I'm at WGI the 2 days before with Niagara...looks like a lot of GT4 clubsports registrred for the club races--do they run with red group before the race?
Registration looks like it may still be open so maybe I am parlay this into 3 day event if the boss ok's it...she's grown to hate June as I have 4 events now in 3 weeks

For this event, Metro has a "Club Race" run group.
Ok, I'll play. Did a 1:55.10 at Oregon Raceway Park on 2017-04-09 counter-clockwise. Might be my favorite track with all the elevation changes and blind corners. Cup 2s, 33 psi front, 30 rear, stock except rear toe links for more camber. Running about -2.4 in front, -2.0 in back.
My second day in the car was still getting used to how it handles. I had never run the track in reverse so it was fun. Was able to run an identical time as you in your car. It is a great track. I know with a little more time in the car I could see shaving 3-5 seconds off the time. They are truly fantastic cars.

Wow, another 3-5 seconds would be flying. I think all the stars have to align perfectly before I'll break 1:55, and I don't expect it would be by much. Love your car!
Ran a 1:54.83 this weekend at Buttonwillow on RE-71Rs...I'll post up the fast lap video later on this week.

Thank you sdillon for the Oregan Raceway contribution! You're on the board.

Here are a few of my clips from my session at Oregon's ORP in CCW. sdillon's time was fast in a street GT4 for sure. I will gladly give him the podium with our identical times. Next time I am out there I will be sure to crack the whip and shave a couple of seconds! I had a 1:55.10. 1:55.12, 1:55.55 and a 1:55.60.
Putting myself back on top of the Thunderhill 3mile/cyclone course leader board with a new PB of 1:59.4 on RE71R tires yesterday!
Nice! Mean Joe is laying down the gauntlet! Challenge accepted, my friend. Unfortunately, it will be a while until I get another shot at it. I'm doing the 5 mile next time out at TH. So enjoy the top step while you can.

Lol! The nice thing about hanging out with fast friends is that it pushes everyone to go faster. I'll see you on 6/2!
