Don't take that as a slam or anything, pro racer in a spec miata hits 95-101 down front strait clock wise. its 100% power weight dependant!
Thy has about same exit speed as you in end of rattle snake and she was hitting 115ish before braking at big bend.... its all the power, nothing more

I did hit 104.8 on the straight yesterday in session 4 and the 99.9 on the following straight. So a good line = good speed.

Ok, thats about what I was thinking. I figure going CW I could probably hit about 110-115 on a good lap and CCW maybe 125-130 if I swap out off of street tires.
At the single day event going CCW, I was really happy with the power delivery on my new set up and I was hitting 120mph on the front straight before braking, but I really wasn't pushing the car all that hard on that day since it was my first time at the track in 2 years. But it is significantly faster than before.
Now I'm really kind of wishing that Kevin and I had gone out to "inspect" the track on Sunday morning before the first session, but I wimped out. Maybe next event!

You guys look great out there this weekend! I pretty much only took pictures of the Evo guys and I've got them on the laptop but was too tired to get them posted Saturday or Sunday night. I'll try and get a few up tonight. They are taken through the glass up in the tower, so there is a little bit of glare, but they should be ok.
Here's the view in a Viper from yesterday:

And the same Viper a couple weeks ago:

Pretty impressive what 4x the engine size and 2x the HP will get you. Maybe slicks help too. But it's only 11 seconds or so faster than me
ETA: watching the second video a bit closer just makes me want to go out again really bad. He's faster in the straights (dur), but I really am NOT that much slower in the turns (maybe 3-7mph), which makes me think that maybe I'm braking TOO much!? I know, looking back, that I was a bit too tentative in most of the turns.
Argh!
