Good job guys, I'm trying to get them updated. I may start removing earlier slower laps from each member to keep the pages manageable, but if you only have 1 lap it will remain posted. Pics of lap timing screens are acceptable proof, videos with data preferred for entertainment value.

And one for NJMP/Lightning. The lap time displayed is a few hundredths slower than what I reported previously but I can't find that lap any more. Feel free to revise post #1 accordingly. Aim Solo was insisting on setting its own start/finish line and I hadn't managed to fix it.

Norm you are already in there with a 1:37.6. all old records are Grandfathered in. LOL.
 
Track: Thunderhill Raceway - West Track
Time: 1:25.179
Car: 2016 GT350, Track Package
Wheels: 19x11 Vibe Motorsports Forged
Tires: 305/30/19 Pirelli Trofeo R
Suspension: Vorshlag CC plates (-2.7F, -2.1R), FP Lowering Springs

First time out at THill West after doing the East course a few times. West is much smaller and is really only a 2nd/3rd gear track in the GT350. I started using 4th more often later in the day to keep the temps in check. It ended up being 102F out there this day so after the 2nd session, lap times just kept getting slower. I can definitely bring it down into the 1:24 range and with some more work, might even be able to bring it down into the 1:23s if the weather is good and my confidence level goes up. I flew off course on my first session of the day so it kept me timid the rest of the day. Gotta work past my nerves again before I can really knock some time off. Unfortunately, my front facing GoPro crapped out on me during this session so I only have a rear view and pedal cam. Kind of a boring video and I forgot my OBDII reader at home so I couldn't get any cool telemetry with throttle position and RPMs but here it is!

And for a bonus video, here's when I went off track. Came in a little too hot, didn't manage the weight transfer quick enough, and the rear end got loose on me. I was too slow to correct it and off I went! Best part is my fiancée's first words. Not "are you okay" or anything like that. Instead, "Let's go see if we have any damage" 🤣

All times updated to this point!

I went back since my last check-in and punched everything in.
Thank you to @steveespo for 1) helping to combat the backlog and 2) entering your own times in (Moderator power, lol!).

Thank you to each of you who also make an easy copy/paste line for us with your name/car/mods/time ready-to-go. This makes updates a lot less painful as this is a manual process.

Better double check @steveespo times on the list to make sure there are no discrepancies 😆
