NASA never runs the chicane. Wish they would though.

You know I'll be there!

just got back from dyno. Had to lower my HP a littbe bit so I can run 315's all around. Was running 275's. Probably should have been run 315's from the get go.
Anyway, looking forward to a great season finale duelling it out with my TT buds

my TT3 vette 1:27.5 best (theoretical best was 1:27.1 but i just couldn't put it all together in the same lap). I need more practice and *****! TT times were crazy. Foosh (TT2 1:23.8 in the thunder race!!!), Thai (TT3 1:26.5!!) and Joe (TT2 camo evo 1:26.1) laid it down.

So how did you like the 315's? Were your times quicker?
What size wheel?

loved the 315's. I'm gonna stick with them for next year. Used them on oem z06 18x10.5's. Can't do a straight up comaprison against the 275's because I never ran this track configuration on the 275's before. But I felt more confident on them versus the 275's.

1:23.8 is not too shabby. Was that straight up, no drafting involved?

Drafting a 580hp ST1 Corvette.
Hopefully Mike will post some video, it was an awesome drive even though he beat us.
