Default Roebling Road

Just got back form RRR Sunday. That is a fun track man. I have a traq mate now and had a blast learning my new toy. What is a good time for that track? My best lap was only 1:23.4. Seems like I sand bagged the carousel and turn 6 costing me big time. The run off room is small and my car is not paid for, probably had something to do with it.

Just curious.

I would think that's a pretty solid time. We were keeping track of some times of random cars as they'd pass and I think the lowest I saw was a cup car turning 1:18:xx

I ran a 1:16.3 with my 03 Z06 SCCA T1 car from a NCCC almost Standing start. The SCCA T1 record is held by Phil Croyle with a 1:15.2 in a C5Z on a flying lap with hot R compound tires.

Nice job, seat time will bring your times down lower and lower the more you run the car and track. What kind of tires were you running and what mods have you done?

Welcome aboard and glad you had a good time. Addicting isn't it?

I am running NT01's 275 frt and 305 rear. The car is a bone stock 2003 Z06 other than the tires and pads. I have harnesses and a roll bar.

The times are good to know. Thank you.

My best time at Roebling was in the low 21's on Nitto R555R2's. I was hoping to best that time last month with a set of donated R6's, but there was simply too much traffic and the car broke late in the 1st day. If I remember right, the NASA TTA record is in the 19’s.
