Fun NASA weekend at TWS
It was hot, but other than that the weather held out, no rain, no bad on track incidents, and I would say another wonderful NASA event !

Todays fast lap was a 1:49.263 , is that a fast lap for a stock motor 996 going clockwise ? I can't wait till the cold weather comes back, I am thinking the 99 degrees we had today is still holding us back some.

For a reference point for you, in the same race, Steve Ott's (who won overall) fast lap was a 1:46.226, he was in a 996 Cup car.

Well driven Cup, going CCW in cooler weather, is gonna do very high 44's and 45's...so yeah. Our boy Chris Cervelli has the record, though, at a 44.0 or 44.1, if I recall....in his 993 SuperDoubleSecretProbationHefeweisenUberLightweightRSRSR.

I've seen Steve run a 42 out there going CCW, and he raced earlier and ran a 44 going CW as well. But in this same race that Jay ran the 49 all he did was a 46 so thats the reference point I used. Steve can go faster in better conditions, but I know we can also ; >

Rob Cohen ran his SPBOX in GTS-2 and there was a 4 door BMW (can't remember the name) as well. Rob won the 1st race on Sunday and then had a tire go down on the first lap of the second race. It looks like a puncture. Maybe he ran over something on the out lap? He was running 2:03's.

BMW was John Schwanzbach (I'm sure I am spelling it wrong,sorry John) , I thought there was also another black 911 running GTS2 but maybe he was running something else.

Needless to say it has numerous mods but it has never even had the valve covers removed, it is NOT an X51, and it runs stock Porsche cats still !
I know I can make more power by changing up the exhaust, even more with an X51 or different cams and heads, but since we already have to run ballast for the class we are in it seems silly to add more power just to add more weight.
