A good run for Pete.

Very nice!

Those Porsche Cup cars have great late braking and turn in.

Hey Roy!

Thanks, had a lot of fun last weekend. There is still a lot left in the car... Just got to get everything dialed in and spend some more time in the car.

Cool video, I'm waiting for the day when I can own a real race car, but I'm only going to run in the Red run group of HPDE/s

to watch tonight

Pete,

Wasn't this a "shake down" drive for you?

Just like a shake down cruise, the first outing for a new ship, you expect to have a certain amount of items to "adjust".

Yea this was the first time we got the car out this year. We completely tore the car apart this winter and replaced a bunch of components. There is still a ton of suspension tuning that well result in substantial gains. Also I ran about 100 lbs heavy this weekend so getting rid of that weight will def help wake the car up.

We installed a new set of the Pfadt Feather Lite Coilovers, as well as Pfadt sway bars and their spherical bearings during the off season. This weekend we just ran where it was set with no previous adjustment and no adjustments during the weekend, so we know there is a lot for us to gain there!!!

Just curious what times you guys were running in that class. The NASA website takes forever to update.

I run low 1:10's...

Here are the lap times for this past weekend.

Us mere mortals run 1:12's to 1:14's in ST2

McBenMotorsports

There is still plenty of time in that... I wouldnt b surprised if an ST2 car could get down to the 1:07-08 range if there was some rubber on the track and the car was dialed in... 1:07 is atleast wut I am shooting for. We will see if I can get there.

Nice job! That is quick. I have done 1.12.1 on used R6's in an OEM weight car that is relatively stock (stock motor, but coil overs). Was that with A6's?

Was thinking of trying a set this year to see how much more I could get.

McBenMotorsports

This race was on a set of yokohama's. I dont know what my times are there with A6's at this track.

@ 3280 on R6's Ive run a1:10.6, but that was in a c6 with a set of brake pads and an APR wing, otherwise stock. So I think there is still a ton of time left even in the R6's.

What weight and tire width do you run?

And for the really slow cars - I did a 1:15.6 on 275 C71s, ~3250lb, 306hp, flopsville base model suspension, dysfunctional clutch (wouldn't shift at high rpm). Good enough for a TTB win, just missed the TTB record. 7.25" QM on the way and I need to find another 20hp (tune, intake?).

It was a good weekend for Corvettes at NJMP.

McBenMotorsports

It was a good weekend for the vette guys!!! We just need some more to show up!

My comp weight this weekend was 3195. My tire sizes are 280 in the front, 320 in the rear. HP is 324 wheel hp... and Mike threw a black box in the car on multiple occasions and we were all glad to see the accuracy of the boxes (They were right there on all our tests).

That's called legal not heavy.

Nice job, you really seem to be ripping it up.

McBenMotorsports

Lol Very True!!! that's a good way to look at it. I would rather b a little heavy.

And I am just trying to get up 2 speed this year so I can keep up with you speed demons in the GL region... Cause from what I hear u guys rip it up.

McBenMotorsports

Ken are you going to be running at MO in July?
