rookie track time for watkins glen
Well I finally down loaded my RLC data logger and was able to play back some info. My best time was 2.11869. I'm wondering if this is ok for my first time being at Watkins Glen?

Only been there twice and crappy weather I had a few good laps after I got used to the track. No clue on times unless I searched in piles of papers if I could find her recordings. Guess you have to wait till others to chime in. From what I remember it's not a bad time for first time out rookie cookie

Thats a very respectable time, especially first time there.
2.08-2.15 is running pretty fast there in a vette, I'm on the high end of that scale.
I think you were there the same event we were...not sure if you remember the #72 Vette, he was running 2.03's

Thanks. I was there and I do remember the car. Nice set up. My C6Z06 is bone stock except for brakes, ducts and it was my first time on Hoosier R6s. First part of the day I used street tires because of the rain.

car 72 looks like it has a ton of AOA in the wing. I would like to see a side view.

I went out as a passenger and by lap 6 I thought I was going to throw up in my helmet.
But screaming around the track in that was a blast... I LOVE sequential gearboxes... so sweet.

John, I dont have any handy but will look. That car has scary downforce - the AOA on the wing is as much as you can get out of it... 4" CF front splitter and undertray.. proper CF side splitters... rear CF diffuser... additional winglets on front and rear.. CF fully vented hood... rear 1/4 panels opened up to let more air out.. the back bumper is all vented..
I went out as a passenger and by lap 6 I thought I was going to throw up in my helmet.
But screaming around the track in that was a blast... I LOVE sequential gearboxes... so sweet.

I'm curious about your RLC data logger, because I've been thinking about getting one. Which unit do you have? What are your opinions of the unit?

As a driver whos been there before, I have to tell you there were many turns (3 and 9) I thought there is no way he would stick and I was pleasantly surprised that we did so something on his set up is working very well. The only other thing I know is his motor is a cammed 427 that was tuned and has headers, thats it.

He said he was still learning how to use it. It does a lot but not anything you can plug and play in ten minutes. He had it in another thread the type if you search. Steve may be working today.
