I hope y'all get out to TWS - the long track is about to be gone forever.

Hey Guys,
Been busy with my other hobby - sport fishing in the Gulf of Mexico. Sorry for the delayed updates. But, better late than never!
Also, there is an upcoming super-cool HPDE coming up in New Orleans on Sept 15-17. NOLA Motorsports Park is hosting one of the Clubsport Races and the local Mardi Gras PCA has squeezed in an advanced solo DE in between race stints, limited to 50 cars. I did it last year and was really cool running, then watching the Clubsports race. I will be there, and if you'd like to make a trip out of it, I would be glad to assist with local knowledge. All the fastest Cayman peeps in one spot, very cool! http://mgpca.org/
Updated, and on the board!
Nice run Marc, you use those curbs like you know them well!
Wow, that was an incredibly close call.
Thanks for sharing from down under Warwick.

Well I improved by best time by 0.2 to 1:39:20 at Laguna Seca earlier this week... hoping for better tomorrow. Here's the video (along with a new GT4 overlay in RaceRender I've been working on). Unfortunately my GoPro mic adapter was acting up and I lost all the exhaust soundtrack...

I ran Spring Mountain Motor Resort last weekend on the East 2.1 mile loop. My only rabbits were the Mclarens driven by pros and a couple of Clubsports. The track is getting pretty beat up, there are a handful of turns where they have repaved the outer (loaded) wheel tracks at apex, and the pavement was coming up and spreading gravel (I slid off a few times due to this issue), so my times were fairly compromised. I managed a 1:31.92 (at least, that's what I managed to record on MoTeC). I messed up my dash manager when trying to load in the GPS coordinates for start/finish, and lost the ability to record data or even get laps times for most of the weekend. Long excuse for saying I was slow and I am not showing you my best lap times. And... I was on long-past-their prime Hoosier R7s. Ugh. Did I mention it was blazing hot and I finally got the MoTeC recording again in the penultimate session of the Sunday afternoon?
Tons of track traffic last weekend but when I got a clear track in front of me, I was a bit under 2 minutes. Fastest was a 1:57.91. I think 1:55s are possible with fresh tires. There was another man there in a white GT4 that was every bit as quick, perhaps quicker than I. No new mods: -2.5 in front, -2.0 in back, stock everything else, and shot Cup 2s. Put some new RE-71 on for Utah Motorsports Campus (aka Miller) next weekend, can't wait to try them out.
I can tell you for certain that 1:55's are possible. There's a few 1:55's in the session but here's the data for the fastest lap of the day (from the PCA HPDE on May 13th). I think 1:54's are possible if I work on a few things (...which you can see in the squigglies 
). That's running with zero mods on the car, stock alignment and this was the 5th day running on Cup2's although by the end of this day they were toast
I put RE-71R's on there in the meanwhile and ran in the 1:33's at Pacific on Saturday -- I'm guessing you will like them a lot!
As for the Ridge, I'm told one of the PCA instructors runs in the 1:52/1:53 range in his Agate GT4 but he has a full array of suspension mods apparently.
p.s. PM me if you'd like to share data -- I'd gladly do that and comparing is pretty interesting.
