Ugh ... I really want to go but, as usual ... i just had something come up that will keep me from being there. I may make a mad dash up there if I finish in time to at least watch a bit.



I am really curious about how that track drives when it's wet

Sweet, my all-season Bridgestones are looking better and better. Gooooo rainstorm!

I had a blast, thanks everybody! Fender rolling with a screwdriver handle FTW!

Did you get a chance to get any lap times? I'm Cory with the silverstone AP1 on RPF1s.

lol, you if you don't get some smaller sidewalls the math club is coming back out.

I had a great time too, had a ton of fun and certainly got humbled after that turbo Porsche just walked away from me. Plus I got a ride in that factory five cobra which has been a dream car since I was around 16.

lol the math club. Yeah those sidewalls suck, I need to figure that out.

That Porsche was intense, even watching it from way back in the pits you could see how fast it accelerated.

Hey Cory, you got super fast once it cleared up in the afternoon. Sorry I don't have any times for you, you were fast though.

I was just doing it on my phone so I don't remember everything, and of course they aren't official by any means. These are the ones I remember:

-- The silver Neon race car posted a best time of 58 flat
-- The blue S2000 had a best time of somewhere around 59 flat
-- The red Porsche posted a best time of 58.3 with the pro driver, he was stuck behind a Miata for a while though
----- The red Porsche posted something like a 58.7 with the car's owner
-- The blue Viper posted a best time of like 1:07:00, it was his first time on a track though
-- I don't know lap time for the silver STi, but I think he had the fastest speed on the track when he hit 90mph on the back straight

Actually at the end of the day the silver Neon ran 54.8
I ran our newly acquired Silverstone AP2 S2000 to a 59.1 and Cory ran the car to a 58.5

The 58 sec lap was on really old tires at 10 psi, with fresh tires and 15 psi of boost the SRT-4 went 54.8, I now believe the car is capable of running high 53s at 20psi.

I had a blast with the S2000, glad to finally own one.
