That was after the repaving, he said it's a lot grippier now.

There was lots of conversaion regarding the new pavement when I raced there with the POC at the end of August. Some people thought it was more slippery while others thought it stickier. It will be interesting to compare the times of the 996 Cups in 2 weeks when they're there for the last IMSA GT3 Challenge race of the season. There should be 10 or so 996 cups mixed in with the 997's. The tops times last October in IMSA qualifying started at the mid 1:32's....

Billy, thanks for posting that and putting it together with the trackvision software! Can you send his back to me as you formated it?

DJ, the sound issue was the fact that I converted it to another format for file size considerations and it lost it for some reason. I was using the PDR100 from ChaseCam. There were some sound issues anyway with this early version which will be fixed with the new model comming out next month. The gain cannot be set low enough for a loud engine and open windows (wind noise). Should be good with the next version.

The track was repaved and very nice. There was still another 2 seconds I think even with the mdeium compund Dunlops I was using. If I had had soft compound that would be another second to second and half for sure. That said if I had the will I think my car at 2850 LBS and stock motor would have been capable of at least a 1:37 with soft tires and more ***** on my part. Nonetheless I beat my best time there so I was happy

i just had a race there last weekend. The track is definitely a second or two faster depending on if you are on slicks or DOTs, or have a lot of HP. it seemed the big hp cars on slicks picked up more, while the lower hp cars picked up about a second on DOTs. personally, I ran a 1:39.1 vs my usual time of mid 1:40s.
I bet Supercup runs 1:30s while speed GT qualifies at 1:29 and races at 1:32s for the top 5 cars.

Mark I think the 997 cups will be into the 1:29's maybe even lower. It should be an exiciting weekend.....

mark kibort

you are probably right. since the new cup cars are running even faster than speed GT now, I bet 1:29s are right on the money!

Shawn Price @ 1:30:034 in the first practice session this morning....Afternoon practice at 3:50 Pacific time...

mark kibort

like I have been saying. 2 seconds for the fast guys (near 1:30s )and about 1 to 1.5 seconds for the slower cars (near 1:39 range)
speed GT is runnin 1:29.0 but i bet they get into the 1:28s by tomorrow's qual. cup cars will be right there too!

the track has places to make up time, it just didnt have before.

O.K. Mark give it up. Where are you making up time with the new paving?

Bryce Miller turned a 1:29:420 in qualifying to finally break the 1:30 mark. He's got the pole....
