Session 2 was my best time with a 2:02
looks like real prepped t3 cars run in the 1:56 range

Just curious, was there any obstacles just before NASCAR 1 to slow down the cars? I've seen other organizations do it, just not sure if SCCA would do it too for the time trial group. Anyway, I wanted to go with my 335i because I wanted to see if the Dunlop tires alone will improve my lap time (and hopefully matching my S4 time). I did a 2:01.9xx in the 335i on stock Michelin RFTs, and a 1:59.0xx in the S4 on stock Dunlops last November.

Yes they had a 100 MPH speed limit through turns 1 and 2. I was entering turn 1 at a max. of 120 in my last session.

I think you should trade yours in... The T1 guys around here would welcome you with open arms.

I know of three good T1 cars for sale right now. One of them is local, but he is waffling on keeping the C5 or selling it and building a C6 T1 car.

And yes, the 430 Challenge car that was approved for T1 is a sore point with many, especially those racing the Runoffs. If a 430 Challenge car is legal then give us the C6 Z06 or even better the new 656 HP ZR-1.

The part I never got was how the GT3 Cup car gets stuck in GT-2, while the 430 gets to run in T1. :unimpressed:

Come one Rad, F430 Challenge car, give these boys something to whine about.

Well he has the 430 signed up in ASP for the Div as 199.. maybe he's still looking for a co-driver..

BTW, let me know if you guys ever want me to fix your usenames so they don't have cars and underscores in them.

In the hottest session of the day, they got a little greasy on corner exit a few times. Once enough to spin ever so slowly, luckily without anyone around and lots of hard surface too.

Next time, I'll check them out between session more closely.

Straight off the track, no cleaning, and no OPR:

Most of my OPR, after the fact, is from that spin I had.
Going into that session I did see that my fronts did have two rubber snakes going all the way around.
I neglected to check my rears though.

This is tied into their login name (First, Last) on the main site. And I think they did that on purpose. I know Isley's always had his Car Make/Model in his last name, and Rad added "_" underscores to his first and last name. Don't know why but it's their choice.
