Richard(rlaifatt) got down to a 3:06.xxx, Aaron(Nimbus) stayed at 3:13.xxx I think and Raymond did a 3:16.xxx in traffic.
to all of them. And an extra to Richard for giving me some pointers which helped me improve my times a total of 40 seconds from my 1st run to my last run. I wish I could have done the 4th and 5th session but the over rev scare had me trippin for the rest of the day

Everything feels like its moving in slow-mo right now... cruising home at 100mph felt strangely normal... Gotta return to reality now. I actually kind of like pahrump now after the 2nd day... I think of the tracks I've gone to its a toss up between Pahrump and Buttonwillow as my favorites now.

I hope they schedule Pahrump again for around the same time next year

I hope SV decides to come out to Pahrump more often! Not just because it's a great track but because it's close to me too 
I'm glad you guys made it out! I couldn't think of a better way to spend my birthday than being at the track
The new car seems to work pretty well in stock form. I did a 3:25 on Sat and a 3:23 on Sunday. There is still a couple of things I need to get used to or dial in. It pushes more than the old car but I wouldn't expect a car with stock alignment to do much else I also keep forgetting to turn the VSA off. I think I went out twice with the VSA on and it took me half a lap to figure out why the car wouldn't do what I wanted it to Next step for this car is an alignment.
The track was a lot of fun! I always liked the 2.2 config there but adding the Radical loop adds a whole new challenge to the track. I'md told the best config is the 3.1 (what we ran but without the "autocross" section)
I can't make it to SOW next month so hopefully you guys will come out
and play at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in June

that rev-limiter is freaky indeed. man i wish i could've gone
I was just coming out of turn two and flying into 3R. I was in third gear, shifted to fourth, was gonna shift to fifth but slammed it back in to third for a blink I was having a pretty good day too.
Started with a 4:27xxx
2nd session got it down to 4:08xxx
3rd session got it down to 3:49xxx
Then the "mishap" occured and I called it a day
I know I could have gotten into the 3:30's
