rmag.... I kept looking for you this weeekend??? I saw you on track but never at car! It was great weekend fast times great weather,,, I had a blast

 

Thanks ..It felt good. Didn't even feel like I was pushing it. Was just trying to keep up with a group of 2:02-2:04. Got off track thinking I had just a mediocre session ... 'til I looked at the G2X

Yea, I saw you on the grid in front of me, then on track for about 2 seconds, until You, Jim, Craig, and Dell took off. I had no hope of keeping up. I may buy Craigs Motons off his RS, then I'll have a fighting chance of keeping you guys in sight for a few more laps definitely good times and weather! You doing Potomac 9/5-7 ..I'll be there.

 

Let's just say I won't be running Toyos ever again.

 

i will be there Ryan.. it was fun not the best of my times but good ones , i havent downloaded data but I know i ran some 2:02s but crazy traffic closing speeds were insane... like white group black and red mixed in ... the car was set up perfectly ,,, but the driver was very "Rusty" !!!! your car looked awesome ...
I know one thing i wont be running my air conditioning next time with Jims car, that car has crazy HP ... such incredible down force he has!

 

Matt, Jim's car is making probably at 580-ish HP to the wheels. They dyno'd it with the new motor last week and the airtemp in the shop was 120 degrees. At that time He made 566WHP. They did a whole bunch of tweaking to the software to smooth things out before it came back from Texas.

He wanted a car that would be capable of running with you and the cup car guys... Guess he got one!

HP is HP.... but you still have to be able to drive to get that car around the track... The big thing about Jims Vette ...

Jim is one hell of a Driver!!!!!! he can drive

 

I dont think he will be playng catch up more like me playing catch up now!

 

No doubt. He's one hell of a shoe...

Here's the kicker, in 2004 I was talking him into doing DEs... September that year he did hist first Friday At The Track (FATT) at summit point with BSR... He was in a 2003 Corvette.

Soon after, he was fully hooked... 4 years later he's running 2:02s at VIR... Simply amazing...

Seat time. You other guys reading this thread, Seat time... That gets you fast... Dell ran 2:03 in a 2004 GT3 "street" car (use term loosely there!)

There are a handfull of you guys, Matt, and you're all in another zipcode when it comes to driving these cars!

Very interesting... This seems to be the first legitimate track report of a stock private owner GT-R... 1:58s at TWS set up from the factory... Pretty impressive actually...

Wow interesting, is that saying something about the Vantage???

 

Dez, Can you update my VIR time to 2:10:213?

Mike

 

Done.

 

Would have been a lot lower had I had a full three days worth of tracking instead of my 1 session...

Not real happy about how the weekend turned out from a driving standpoint....
