Last weekend I spent 3 days at Motorsport Park Hastings, Nebraska, with the Great Plains Porsche club. Great track, great event. 290 track miles total.
Best lap, 1:46:440, ~ 2 seconds slower than my PB.
Two PCA race groups, and one DE. Usually only about 8 of us out for DE. My last Sunday session was awesome. Lined up at the back, and picked off 3 Porsche's in about 15 minutes. Unfortunately, I didn't realize my memory card was full, so no video. But my daughter got some photos.
Here's just before passing the second Cayman.

Thanks for sharing! I'm headed to the Glen next weekend for the first time and I need all the virtual pointers I can get. Those walls are intimidating!
Working with Jade Buford this weekend I was able to shave 2 seconds off my PB at NCM Motorsports Park!

Jade was able to run a 2:14.2 in my car! He is the real deal!
Here's a few of my laps from yesterday including the 2:17.

Yeah, it truly is an honor to work with Jade! Thanks man!

BTW 2:17.71 makes you the second fastest TMO driver for NCM! Keep pushing! Gotta catch @j3st3r !!

Haha, funny you mention that. the fastest time was 2:17.8 so I thought I had it by a tenth, but apparently the times were updated right before, or during the weekend, and @j3st3r beat his previous personal best.
That's cool that you had Jade instructing you! Nice driving.
Was Jade's hand gesture to show you braking points or turn in points?

Thanks!
Braking points. Mostly he's showing me when to start trailing off the brakes. His hand going down towards the dash is to signify when to start braking and as he lifts his hand away he's telling me to "ease off the brakes and roll that speed". He really is an amazing driver, and an excellent driver coach!
Not sure it counts as my lap timing failed out all day but transponder at Buttonwillow last weekend had me at a best of 1:56.7 on 13 CW. Running Pirelli slicks scrubs 305-680-18. They do not seem to post lap times anywhere with OnGrid, so feel free to not count this. Just thought I'd share.

I ran a 2:17.786 at Watkins Glen this weekend. First time there and it is now my favorite track (even if it does get brake pads). I was in my 2017 GT350 on the stock MPSS. Only meaningful mod is camber plates.
Getting harder to keep you guys behind
I was hoping to have Jade ride with me last time, but ended up with Andy Pilgrim. Definitely would like to get some sessions in with Jade though.Getting harder to keep you guys behind
Haha, next time at least let me catch up to your old PB before you beat it by almost 2 seconds! You definitely should work with Jade if you get the chance. He might be at the Chin event at NCM again in October.
We're on the honor system here--I'll allow it. I pity any person that feels they need to lie to get to the top of our leaderboard(s).
Thank you sir. I too pity anyone who needs to lie about anything they do because they are lying to themselves.
LMAO
