That's hilarious. I was going to say the same thing. I'm usually pretty quiet in the car, even when things go all to heck, but I got pretty excited on Friday at RA when I hit the goal I didn't think I'd make until I got into the GT350. I'll post up the video in a few minutes.LS110 said:

Road America 6/19/15 on the stock brakes, P springs and dampers, stock airbox and intake with some takeoff Pirelli 305/660/18 & 315/680/18 slicks. My goal has long been to breakout below 2:30, but I didn't know if I'd get there without a brake or coilover upgrade.....or until I switch to the GT350. I hit 2:29.46 last Friday and got pretty excited. The video includes the prior lap at 2:30.76 where I got stuck behind a Vette coming out of Canada corner. I was actually on pace to run an even faster lap but couldn't get around him until the Billy Mitchell bridge.
Here's the vid. My data acquisition system is in my rear end, and it doesn't support video, so it isn't as fancy as Steve's.

Wow, that is blistering fast Gary, and you did that with traffic in T12. Even in the vid it looks very fast, especially after the kink with the narrow trees. I especially like the holler at the end. Ya gotta do something with all that adrenaline.

You're right there and probably would have made it given better weather conditions on Sunday. It just got too hot I think. There's a sub-2:30 in your near future.LS110 said:

New PB on Monday at BIR short track (2.5 miles) of 1:38.14.
And an update on my current PB on the BIR long track (3.1 miles) of 1:44.37 that I ran back in April.

Ran Road America for the first time in the Boss, Monday: 2:34.8. Very different lap to the Shelby. Only got 2.5 sessions in due to Meatball from Transmission issues. Will post video and impressions of Boss versus Shelby and video, later.

Nice lap time Nick! Guessing conditions were great as they were for me at BIR on Monday. It will be interesting to hear your comparison on the two cars.

Went to Palmer motorsports park yesterday. What a great track. Tried a set of conti scrubs not sure If I like them yet but loved the price. They slide a lot but controllable. lap times were slightly slower than the R6. Had more confidence on the Hoosier R6. Hooked up with Derek did a little cat and mouse for a couple laps. He was about a second quicker than me. He made a lot of time up in the brake zones so I guess I should take off the stock pads when I go to the track. Installed the new mgw race spec shifter a couple weeks ago and haven't missed a shift since. Stock boss Conti scrubs 1:53.77
