Default Watkin's Glenn good lap time?

What are some good lap times for Watkin's Glenn in a stock turbo S, on street tires (Toyo T1-R, treadwear 280)? I was just there and was curious. I'm going to go to Ra-1's or R888s.

That would be alright, a sub :59 would be good.

Huh? Leh Keen does a 1:52. My friends in very well prepared track/cup cars do ~2.00-2.05. A 1:40, is that with a jet on rails? (This all assumes that you are running the boot.)

I know a guy who got a 1:50:94 once in an E Stock 3.2 Carrera. He was really pushing it though. He had to maintain his DE Championship Points lead. He had to podium or give the lead to Gary. He probably couldn't do it again

Probably help if you clarify what layout you are wanted times for.

I think I was doing 138s over the past 3 days at The Glen.

The track layout includes the boot and the bus stop. I also wanted lap times for stock cars on street tires/slicks. These times seem really fast. The times on this layout seemed to be close to 2 minute times. I checked the pca website and the times there were also in the 2 mintue times.

I think a 2:15-2:20 would be a very good time for the car and track configuration you are talking about.

There was one 2:14.9 in a Turbo S at this year's club race. Two other turbo S's were in the 2:16's. That's a fully prepped race car on the fastest tires (assuming they were on Hoosiers). I would think street tires is a 5-6 sec loss and the race car tidbits would be another 4-5 sec at least. So something around 2:26 (2:16+:10) is probably pretty good.

1:40 seems well beyond street cars for the full length course. At the Grand Am race in early June, the fastest lap by a Daytona Prototype was 1:43, and fastest lap by a GT car was 1:53 (997 GT3 Cups compete in the GT class). Layout included boot and bus stop. The Busch Northeast race (or whatever they call the series with ~3 year old NASCAR cup cars) were turning 1:17s through the short course (included the bus stop but not the boot). We timed a few of the Grand Am GT cars through the boot section, and they looked like they were faster than the NASCAR rides.

~2:20 I'd guess.

My vote for most realistic answer so far...
