Hi RC ... in case you want to update it, last time I went to Roebling I ran a 1.23.xx (high 80s, no mechanical issues). Here's the relevant link: https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...-roebling.html

Back there this Friday so hopefully you'll have to update it again.

I also ran COTA with snorman and operations Labor Day weekend. Best time was 2.40.xx (high 90s/100s, no mechanical issues). Thread: https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...-personal.html

Sorry I know it's not the format you want but I'm running out of the house.

Thanks.

What software/data/video setup are you running there for FYI of people who aren't equipped? Also, is your car a Z51?

Anyone mind putting in a vote for my question on Ask Tadge please, in reference to E85 and flexfuel option for track use.

This has been placed on the "Ask Tadge" poll. Tadge has encouraged the use of the highest octane possible for track sessions, we've seen these cars converted to flex fuel quite readily. I would like to hear his thoughts on E85, if the team considered the option, etc.

Vote here

Here is a couple laps from today at NJMP Thunderbolt (no chicane).

Thunderbolt was a bit more difficult to put a clean lap together with the car. It could have been the cold/green track, or maybe the tires are nearing the end of their effective track life. This is the first time I've used street tires for a prolonged period of time on track and they are getting pretty chewed up. There are a couple more days left this year, so maybe I'll get the chance to run some Hoosiers and some brake pads that I can really lean on.

Track: NJMP Thunderbolt (no chicane)
Trans: M7
Driving Mode: all off
Aero Package/Option Package/Setup: Level 1, non-Z07
Tires: Pilot Super Sport
Temp: 50*
Coolant Temp: Running about 215* average over the lap
Lap time: 1:25.35

AJ, I'm really interested to hear what you think of the Hoosiers on this car and what sizes you go with. To me the 315/345 18" setup really changed the balance of the car.
