"Holy crap!" Not really... There was a GT2 there that normally runs 2min flat with the owner driving it, he says its capable of 1:55s. Now THAT is "Holy crap" Unfortunately we didnt get a chance to see a 2min flat lap that day as he was having problems with the car. I would have so liked to try and keep up with that.

Didn't you swipe FTD from both the 355 Challenge AND the GT2? Holy crap you were fast.
Doug, Rylan, and Josh were smoking too, I'm thinking 2:10's or better for all three. Best I could muster was a bunch of 2:18.x's AFTER I took Dave's advice to use the brakes a little more... Jay, Keith, and I were passing cars left and right in the Intermediate group. A very strong showing by the S2000's for sure.
Really... the one time I went with my Celica, there was a Lotus racecar and he was doing between 1:55 and 2:00's. Another buddy of mine races motorcycles at TH and his runs are generally in the 2:05s.
Running backwards must've been fun... you're right about turn 6, going forward thru turn 5 is already pretty hair raising.
we didn't run it backwards, he just went backwards thru the turn
gil - yes i did get a haircut
I think I was the only NA car under 2:10 until the sun came out and doug's hoosiers got some grip, then he beat me in the afternoon with a 2:08.0x. My best was a 2:08.61 (best time ever at thunderhill), and in the time trial after lunch I was 4th with a 2:09.92, also the fastest NA car
dave did a great job of laying down the smack to some REALLY high powered cars with good drivers. 2nd and 3rd in the trials were a mustang cobra and a 300z TT pushing over 400hp.
