I am not betting me buying dinner for everyone fool! In fact, I cannot accurately predict what time I will run since I have not driven track or my car there. Based on info in this PCD thread, I should be in the 1:14 area if that is being done on street tires with less horsepower. So if I don't azz it up out there, it should be doable. I think after a few sessions out there I will have a handle on what times I will be running.
Grillo getting all madz over there, already worried I will be smoking his time in my pipe..

Not mad at all, just don't want you to think you're gonna roll up in there and rip off 1:14s, thats all. Trying to keep you somewhat grounded, if thats at all possible.

FWIW, I think my fastest laps there last year were in the low 17's. I'm hoping to pick-up time, but I don't know that I'll find 3 seconds. Highly doubt it actually.

Well if I am on a better tire with a more powerful car 1:15 sounds like it is in the realm of reality. Plus my driving skillz and all...

I think that is a realistic goal.

16s would be awesome, but I'm not going to kill myself for it! 17s is a realistic goal for right now. As long as I'm getting some point-by's from a few fellas in this here thread, it'll be a dandy day... The gods will smile, and champagne will flow.

Marc just had the audacity to come here and talk ish about this trackday. He was here dropping off the wheels and tires we lent him for his "domination" track day, nice .real nice

I will be sitting by myself and grilling by myself at the PCD NJMP summertime track event.
