Those GT350s are in a class all their own. Very impressive! I was running similar times in a track prepped Corvette several years ago. I would need to swap out my TR-3650 in my S197 for a 6-speed transmission and add a supercharger to have a chance of keeping up at VIR. Come out to Summit Point Main in 2018.
 
Was the grille tape still on Nick? If so we have to tell Billy. Great job.

No, I took the tape off for the late sessions, once the temperature climbed above 40* - Balmy!

Track was definitely quicker at 44* than 34*. I think there's a 2:03.x in this car at 50-70*
 
Impressive especially considering the cold weather and nice driving.

Annnnd, the video is up:


This was my first time with the Boss at Sonoma. I've driven the track before in a different configuration (chicane T9, narrow T7) in a 458 Challenge. This was a different experience altogether, but enormously fun!

Man that car just works.....and you drive it well.

My son and I are watching your other recent videos and you were flying at Mont-Tremblant. Are you going club racing in your GT3?
Yah, I've done three of the 1-hr endurance races at Tremblant, two in the GT3 and one in a 458CH. Probably going to do the spring and fall classic there in 2018.

The GT3 is a hoot and a half, and I'm more used to driving it than the Boss. So we make good time...
 
Chuckwalla CW previous to last weekend. 6 year old 275/35/18 R6's that blistered and exploded during the second and third sessions. First time there, so I think with good tires I can make a big dent in my time. Best lap was third lap in first session, so third lap ever driven there. BTW, please never make the mistake I did and get old tires in the last minute. I blew the tire at 100 MPH.
