How long is the average time attack course lap? Lightning is a 1:13-1:18 range, perfect video length. I would think more peeps would do awesome lap videos/ You guys should bust out those winning runs like that, not in the 20 minute video like usual. These videos need to be short to hold peeps attention, another reason why Autocross rules....

Good luck at Monticello this weekend(that where you guys are?)! Hopefully you both Nguyen some tires!

You autox bishes would love Monticello. 19 turns over 3.7 miles. Its like a high speed autox course. Here is a quick vid off my phone to give you an idea of the track layout. Sorry it doesn't have any fancy editing, but make sure the sound is up so you can at least hear the car accelerating out of the corners.

THis was the fastest lap my phone recorded, but not the fastest lap of the day. I wish it would have kept going cause Mark went off a few times after this was filmed.

Can't wait to break out the hoosiers tomorrow for round 2.

Nice work, Marc! Looks like you were gaining in the corners but are down on power to Mark...? That course looks fun, and the added grip of the purple crack is gonna feel awesome in all those transitions.

You, mark, and thai are in a couple of RTA's vids on facebook, btw.

I really want to get an opportunity to do Monti.

27mph in that las corner. That's pretty crazy.

Is that second to last corner before the back straight a double apex?

Right now Thai, myself and Mark F. are all about 1-1.5 seconds apart with one session left. We are gonna battle it out for 2nd and 3rd in our class, since first has us by 6 second so thats not an option, lol. Slowest guy will likely wind up in 4th and be off the podium with nothing to show for their efforts this weekend.

Outcome
Mark
Marc
Thai

Unless Mark doesn't improve and Marc buttons up more, it's just Thai is too conservative in his shessions unless he's driving students/other peoples car.

What Thai and Mark need to do is turn the boost up! They have ef3 and gtx30r right? Use the BBG function in ECUFLASH/V7 and do 26-28psi for 4th and 5th gears bro!! That'll nguyen it, and I mean both winning or blow up.
