2:02 is "fast" depending on what class you're in. if you're talking about unlimited times 1:55 is not incredibly "fast" either. We've seen cars dip into the 49's in the unlimited class. The GM unlimited cobalt a couple years earlier dipped into the 53's.

we are #36 on that list. 2:01.57 w/ unshaven street tires. Good enough for 1st place street tire class at the super street time attack. All in all "fast" is all relative...there's always faster out there.

 

HKE- which car are you talking about? There is a H1 Honda Challenge car which is very well sorted that sometimes runs in WC Touring that is extremely fast for a privateer, but not a front runner. I think he probably put something close to a 55 down. Is that what you are talking about? Major props to him. very well sorted car on RA1s I believe. Its probably a tad faster than the US Touring Car I drive which has a lot more development money in it.

Comparing laptimes without a guideline for comparision is stupid. :02's is crazy fast in some cars, and 1:55's in some cars is slow. It is all relative.

My best time out at big willow was a 1:28:241 in the car in my avatar. Its a 73 911E with a 996 fiberglass body...some mods . I was 16 at the time(november of 2002), blew the motor a month later and haven't gotten a crack at since. Really itchin to get back out there.

Ran a 1:15:xx on the streets going clockwise, but that was before the bowl configeration they are running now.

 

1:15 at streets????? Not even a radical can run below 1:18

 

Anyone got some sears point or thunderhill times?

Buttonwillow 2.00
Willow Springs 1.37
Cal speedway infield 1.12
Laguna 1.46
I forget my sears point and thunderhill times, Its been a while since I've run those tracks.

 

It was a much shorter track without the bowl that they have now. I'm sure it was 15. It was posted in VELOCITY POC mag, I'll try and and find the issue, I was second fastest of the cars for the weekend. In the 914 my best was 21 and 22 both ways.

 

yeah. streets have changed a lot in the last couple years. 1:15 without the bowl is totally possible.

The only times I have at Infenion are in a US Touring car. 1:52.0X is my lap record there during a race.

 

I really like running the horse thief mile up at willow springs. It remindeds me of when I used to drive on the mountain roads. Unfortunatly I dont have any times from running that track though. And that track is pretty harsh on my car.
