You drive the #%@& out of that car Derek,awesome drivin!
Was ther last week too bad didn't meet up

Too bad I missed you! I saw your video earlier in this thread - very nicely done!

I just try to make the car earn her keep

She's done well so far. Now to figure out what the slightly concerning "clicking" is when I transition from left to right turns... it seems to have become a bit more pronounced following the Grand Course driving...

VIR Full course - Boss/suspension/Hoosier R7s--2:10.83

@dmichaels you were crushing it! I was there as well and think we chatted briefly. I was running in Blue in my 2015 White GTPP (now replaced with a 2017 GT350). I ran ~2:26 on Main and ~3:23 on the Grand course. Lots still to learn - I was too pansy to carry and maintain 120+ in the climbing esses. Cheers to you man.

Heres my (old) car for reference:

Nicely done! That's quick! Any video to go along with the lap? I'd like to see where my lap differs from yours... I have a lot to learn at VIR still

Yeah we chatted for a few - it was a busy event, especially on Friday for me as I packed in all 4 of my sessions by 2pm (2 with Red and 2 with Black) so that I could hit the road back to CT as early as possible. But wow, what a fun course! Cannot wait to get back there!! Normally I instruct, this was the first time in a couple years where i just attended. Woudl be happy to ride with you in the future if I'm instructing at an event though. I know the Mustangs pretty well now, and everyone I talk with says the 2015+ are fantastic. I'm hugely jealous of your GT350 as well! I got to drive one at Pocono in May and it was very impressive. You'll have a blast with that!

My aero is the only reason I attacked the esses... they are intimidating! A friend (who will remain nameless) had a little incident on them a couple years back and I was cautious going in. The car can get really light through that section without significant aero. Anyways, great event and good meeting you!

Thanks for posting the video of Palmer. Have had a bunch of friends comment on the course and now I see why they say it is both unique and wicked. You looked like you were definitely honking around there and not sure the passenger hurt you that much ------------sounds like you were showing her a good time ,ha!!!

I was at VIR with Black Boss, Pete In CT and 2012-Boss, Best lap was a 2:10.23, 2011 Mustang GT, CJ, ARH headers JRi coilovers and Pirelli 305/690-19 DH Slicks. Car had severe vibration in right rear due to worn axle bearings. Still wouldn't have caught those boys, they was fast!

Bumpy in a couple of the key transitions -- coming out of South Bend and going down Roller Coaster. Not sure about grip -- we were lucky with weather, dry, but didn't get above 65*

Well spotted. Yes he was fast

Just watched the videos side by side... you're definitely making more power than I am (or my aero is adding a lot of drag) - the straights you cover ground more quickly. Also you seem to get around turns 1-2-3-4 more quickly, and I was a touch quicker through the turns after the back straight... Good stuff though, I liked your line and it's good watching side by side to see where I can gain ground. Gotta go back!!

DMichaels:

That is a great track session video and you drive very well, very well indeed. Nice back to back 2:08's on laps 8 & 9.

Your right, that C6 was fast down the straight, but after a few twisties in the back half, you brought the C6 back in view.

Thanks for posting,
302 Hi Pro

The post above isn't me driving, I had a video on page 33 I think but was comparing laps. Regardless, good videos

That is on the old track too, two repaves ago. 2012-Boss (Steve K) was getting pretty close to that this past weekend, so was Black Boss.
