Last Friday at Thunder Hill 5 Mile. I never thought I would break 4 minutes without any suspension upgrades. Best time of the day was under 3:58, over 17 seconds under my previous best time last July. Also knocked almost 5 seconds off my time at Sonoma a few weeks ago with a 2:02.8.
Trackday at the Firm in Stark,FL earlier this year. 4 different camera angles.
Related Modifications , Super blue fluid, Xp8 pads, no backing plates,AMS pan, 100oct, RS-3, Diff mod, ACD flash, half cowboy mode.
Going back next month with a new 4.11 trans and a bit more cowbell.

Good lines. Your wet lap time wasn't that bad considering the traffic. A couple of areas I saw on the first video; You can leave it out a little longer on turn 2, you should be able to get on full throttle well before apex. Try turning in a little earlier on 10, the normal placement of the turn-in cone is way to late from my experience. Finally, I think you may be turning in a bit late on 15 into the straight, your *** should go right over the arrow that was slightly to your right. Not trying to be critical,just sharing a lot of coaching advice I've received over three years running t-hill.
Here's 3 laps from this past weekend at Road Atlanta. I finally broke down and got an AiM Solo so I can start using data to help improve my driving rather than just video. Had some excitement over the weekend..... spun in T6 in the rain Saturday and turned the gravel trap outside T5 into a rally stage. Luckily kept it out of the wall both times. May upload those bloopers.
These three laps were 1:46 to1:45. Looking over the data, I am leaving a lot of time out there.
