Here's the in car video for the 2:04.796 lap:


Not the fastest laps, but fun, passing traffic, including 2 F-Cars (boy they sound good!):

Great video. Car looks very settled especially in corners and gators...... Good job. What tires? What pads? And if you do not mind, how many of those 20 or 30 minute sessions are you getting out of each? Thanks, Cant wait to run with you!
 
Nick, nice driving and you're looking smooth as ever. Who was driving the other R?

@boss1 I'm running both PSC2's and Hoosier R7's with G-Loc Pads (R18/R12). I'm getting 15-20 cycles out of the tires, about 7 hours for front pads and about 12 hours for rears. Expect more rear wear if you do not fully disengage ASC.

Thanks. 15 - 20 cycles is pretty good. What is Asc? And how do I disengage it? I had been wondering how to get all of traction control off.

Wanted to add a time:

Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch 22 Apr 2017 on the Mansell 3.4 mile course with my stock 2017 GT350
2:53:554

This was my first time out on a track, was a blast and lots to learn.

Wow, your car looks great! Were you out there with SpeedVentures/ProAutosports?

Another great day at VIR. We were able to get in a few really good sessions before the weather set in and shut down the track. I had a great time hanging out with some TMO members and all the other car enthusiasts here, and I always learn a good tech tip or two from Nick (aka Black Boss) in the paddock.

And to keep this post somewhat relevant: this stock GT350R (save G-LOC brake pads) is consistently turning 2:09 - 2:10s with a 2:08:85 thrown in there. I love this car!
@Dig-It what tires were you running? (for thread update)

Ran Thunderhill yesterday (3-mile bypass configuration) and turned a 2:07.5 and change during my last session. It was a good way to end the day since I was stuck in the 2:08s during all the previous sessions.

Car = GT350 track pack
Tires = Michelin PSS
Mods = Camber plates (running Ford recommended track settings), Pagid pads with Motul RBF 600 fluid

Unfortunately I forgot my GoPro so no video but here's a screen shot from the lap timer:
