2:05 on Hoosiers is a good time for VIR It will be interesting to see what Ian does @ the UTCC on Hoosier slicks. He has 0 laps @ VIR.

Updated, keep um coming.


Good stuff Martin!!!!!

 

Nice, can't wait to see what he does! There was some traffic on my run but we flew by, me and Craig who has a gt3 cup I know was a ton of fun! This was my 2nd time at VIR not bad shaving the time off from last year, I think ultimately the tires limited me a TON, those r888's suck! Next up is running on some full out race slicks, after I try and get the time down a bit more with the Hoosiers , there is still a lot of time left with the only limiting factor bein my ***** lol

 

I also was at VIR thurs-monday and our MN boys faired quite well;
Pat Kelly/Steve Washburn, Rick Polk/Mark Steingas.
I have all qualifying, and race sheets in my car. Lots of great cars there.
My buddy Pat Kelly turned a 1:56.2 in Qualy (997 GT3), and my buddy Rick Polk
turned a 1:57 flat. Both cars finished 44 laps in the 90 minute enduro. (You can do the math...)

Martin,

If you ran a 2:05 at VIR, you are a demigod, that is very good!

Sebring Vid on Slicks. Traqmate wasn't working and video camera ran out of memory on the 2nd lap but this was the first full lap on slicks. I've never driven on a full slick before and we've got some sorting to do on the handling. It was VERY VERY hot and greasy that day. Compartitively in the one lap we did a 2:18 on PS2 street tires, we were a couple seconds back on this day on the same street tires due to track conditions. We put the slicks on to get an idea on the handling and a quick heat cycle. Wish I had more laps and better conditions, I know this puppy could crack a 12... maybe even an 11. Video from the following laps wouldn't matter anyway I had traffic. By the Video when I did the editing this was a 2:14.9 but who knows how accurate that is.

Ian Stewart

 

Marty too bad we didn't get to meet, obviously didn't know you would be there, you might have seen a pretty "big" dude though walking around in a black tank top, was hot as hell but people were giving me weird stares LOL :/

Yea 2:05 and a 2:04 by hand which doesn't hold much validity... Was a very good 2 sessions on those hoosiers then we left early Sunday as the next session was like 5 hours later :/ Demigod? Don't know about all of that, I would say Matt Callahan (930man) running his 2 flat in his GT2 was unreal lol

Nice Ian, what video camera setup is that?? Looked like me on my shot Toyo's dancing around out there with every turn, all you see in my videos are steering shuffle LOL..

How can I upload my videos and retain decent quality? I have the Gopro video cam and quality already suffers, files are 800+ meg's, suggestions?

 

Some Cheap JVC memory card unit. I go through em so quick from the heat and vibration I try not to spend much money on them. This current camera is a real PITA because the video comes off the camera in some sort of (seemingly JVC only) format. When I use the format converter on adobe it chops the video up a bit.

 

how come this guys camera doesn't have the same wind buffeting that a lot of people's do? Seperate Mic? BTW, this guy has a great car, you can tell he's probably a fast lapper, but I think he needs some work on playing with other people. Some people are fast, but not fast around slower cars Comes back to haunt him too and spins it.

Ran VIR Mon/Tues with Corvette and Wed/Thurs with Chin. I was also there Sat/Sun hanging out with the cup car guys from MN running with Alex Job Racing. It is amazing to see guys turn 1:58 lap after lap in the cup cars.

I was able to run a 2:08.3 on Hoosier VRL's (scrubs from a Viper team) - timed on a driftbox.

 

Eric,

that is awesome! I knew you had a 2:08 in you, nice job.

I want to meet (and hire) 930 man: He ran a 2 flat at VIR in a 996 GT2 street car????
What is his set-up (ie, motons, tires, suspension setting, etc)
WOW !!

 

930mans ex car is going back to VIR for the UTCC July 24th on Hoosier Radial Slicks and try to break into the sub 2:00 range. We will see.

1;20 @ The Big Track of WSIR.

 

Fabryce,

A nice clean lap (pretty rare to have that for qualifying) !

Is the WC Cup Car a 4.0 ltr or a 3.8 ?

thanks for sharing
