Great video. Can’t wait to get back there.

A bit confused on you date and day though. Today? Or back to the future tomorrow?
Haha, Everyday feels like Saturday when you are at the race track. I am sure a true Saturday laptime in the 1:3x.xx will be posted later.

Final best lap at Road Atlanta. 1:38.23 2018 Mustang GT PP2 on Michelin S8M 305/680-18 take off slicks. This was part of a half session due to dead battery issue that turned out to be a loose negative battery terminal. Thanks to @2012-Boss for being my crew chief for the weekend. We will be back in action at VIR on April 17&18 with SCMC.

I’d like to get down to 1:38! Last month was my first time at RA. Best I could do was a 1:50.55. I think that wasn’t half bad for a first while on Pilot Super Sports. I’ll probably be back in Oct on the Rivals.

Fast lap and new PB at VIR from SCMC Superfest. Car is really getting dialed in and @Capaldi Racing gave full support and advice all weekend. Craig Capaldi is truly a Mustang whisperer and Leo is a wealth of knowledge as well as a great friend.
AiM lap was a 2:05.03, this Garmin video has 2:05.14. 2018 Mustang GT PP2, TracTive coilovers/DSC controller Pirelli DHB 305/660-18 on Apex 18x11 wheels. ARH headers, Corsa 3" exhaust Tuning by Jim D'Amore at JDM Engineering. Car is in NASA ST2/TT2 legal trim, so I need about 4.5 seconds LOL.

Birthday weekend @ Road America .... life is good. 😁
Warmed into the mid 50's, then rained out the last 2 sessions of the day with a heavy shower.
Overall happy as I clocked a new PB with each session run. Closed out session 3 with a 2:42.309 ... this car has a 39 in it as it sits, but will have to wait till next time.

My 1st day in HPDE 3 at INDE motorsports park. Had a lot to learn and my times were coming down on every run. Found out my tire pressures were too high on 305/19 square PS4S. Great to learn on but not super sticky like some of the other big cars were running.

Well, either Track Addict is wrong, or I sliced my PB time pretty good at the Roval. Big thank you to @PaddyPrix for helping me with the line in T9!View attachment 64713
Nice meeting you too, glad it could be of some help. The GPS is tricky with the track being near the airport, and depending on the day, clouds, loads, whatnot, I've had a 294mph run... while sitting in the false grid :D

If those speeds are for real, take a look at the Super GT Cup schedule and come join some of us, next up at Buttonwillow / May 9th. https://trackmustangsonline.com/threads/buttonwillow-may-9-ongrid-super-gt-cup.17524/

LOL noted about TA. Some of the track configurations it said I was running yesterday would have had me in the next neighborhood, so I thought something might be funky. Transponder hot lap was 1:54.5 🤷🏽‍♂️
I’ll check it out for sure.
 
New gingerman time.

1.42.0
3v s197 full suspension bits, 285 rs4's

Definitely more time out there. I'd say a solid mid to low 41 lap as is if I could pull it together haha. Not bad for a 320hp full interior car on street tires! Yeah the gopro time data shows a sub 42, but my solo said 42.0 and I trust that a heck of a lot more!

Did you get that GoPro time by stopping at full seconds and advancing the start and finish one frame at a time? At 30 frames/second, that's 0.03 second resolution . . .
