NJMP Thunderbolt Chicane - 1:33.78 - April 20, 2017 - old RE71s - headers
First time running Thunderbolt with the chicane. I like it -- more turns = better!
Ran a 1:33.78 so that's my new personal best.
Headers and RE71s with 10 - 15 track days -- gotta check my records but these tires are almost corded.
Sorry the audio cuts out so often -- loose mic cable, apparently.

AutoClub Speedway, Fontana, CA, in the PCA Zone 8 Time Trial held Sunday, 24 April. My best lap of the TT, as well as my personal best for the entire weekend was 1:49.82. 2nd in class and 6th overall. This was my first time at the Speedway. Tires are Hoosier R7.

I also need to give a shout out to Black Sheep Racing team mate Laura Ely. Laura put down some staggeringly fast lap times in her Clubsport and also managed to achieve a personal best in the TT and 2nd overall. I must point out that the guy in first place was not driving a Porsche, but a Mustang TransAm race car. The rumor in the paddock was that he was merely there to practice for an upcoming TransAm race.

Here is a video of my best lap of the Festival...
Looks like I should have kept my foot in it. I probably could have gone even faster. But... I took the kettle off the boil for a lap to celebrate and soak it in, and the kettle simply cooled down too much. Next year!

I envy you guys with temps in the 60s or 70s at the most....last track day we were at +90s (and very humid). Not good to work with tire temps/pressures. This forces local PCA to keep hits at a max of 20 minutes at DEs so everyone enjoys a full day. On the other hand...was able to track during winter

Texas is crazy. From about November to May the weather can range from 90F+ to freezing, high winds, tropical monsoon level rain, to the most beautiful day you can imagine for a track day - and it can change in just a few days.

See attached. PM me if you don't see that field. Remember you have to configure the Solo DL to send that data out to the SmartyCam.

I have the same as you. I need to check again. I really don't want it on the cam, i just want to be able to display it on the solo, but I guess I missed it.
