Day - yamm.....................that was some major hustling around Willow and a 1:28 is a salty , salty time!! You needed to sneeze once on the windshield to get into the 1:27s , but next time you are there please post 10-20 minutes of you stellar runs , not a measley 3 minutes, ha.

As a fellow GT 350 Owner , you done up proud Grant!!

oops. I guess I posted in the wrong section. Thanks for reposting our video here Grant.

Took a WAG on pressures, didn't have my seat adjusted right so I was falling out of the bolsters. Also bedding new pads so I was braking early just in case they faded. First time using my Simpson Hybrid-S harness which pushes you forward a bit, thus falling out of the bolsters. Adjusted the seat closer to wheel and tilted back further rearward. That worked but by then wind had tripled in speed, track got slower so I didn't improve despite having bedded brakes and being locked in seat better.

Guessing a low 1:26 if I had been a bit better prepared. William Chen mounted a set of 305/325 Eagle F1 3R (ZL1 1LE ) tires on his R and did a 1:27.5 same session. His car is bone stock but Vorshlag plates and -3.5° front camber. He also flailed a bit 1st session with 42psi and not being dialed in to the track/car combo. He drive much better 2nd session but again, the wind kicked up and stymied lower lap times. We guessed he had a high 1:25 in it had he been better prepared. Shockingly fast for a bone stock car.

Bill- Not that fast, though! Still no 350 for me yet either...

Thanks for reposting our video here Grant.

No, thank *you* for sharing it. More members would see it here, otherwise we're not so big on moving stuff around.

Nothing to be ashamed of there, I don't know this track but from what I could see you're hitting your marks nicely, the same can't be said of the car ahead who seems to miss more apexes than he gets! Personally, I think hitting apexes is Job 1. I'm certainly no expert but that looked like a pretty good lap to me!

 

[Bill Pemberton]

Heh, thanks for posting .................remember you are on track , we are just watching you on track , that alone makes you the Winner!!!!!!!

 

[Bill Pemberton]

Gee, Grant , I do have a few Three Five Os available if you really want one, ha,ha!!??

Thanks.

Same track, weekend before last, opposite direction.

Had a great time in Dec at a Car & Coffee track day, until a bearing went... I thought it would be more relaxed so I went with Recaros and rear seats installed. Should have known better that it would get a little more competitive. Missed not having a race seat installed! The Camaro ZL1 has 530 whp and 335/30-18 R7's square. The Cayman is a GT4 Cup.

 

[VoodooBoss]

Nice driving and your speed has really picked up over the years. Is that a McLaren GT4? Check that Cayman GT4, it's probably a Clubsport.

 

[Mad Hatter]

Thanks! Yes, your right, its a Gt4 clubsport from the local Porsche Challenge series. It was my first track day since a crash so I am over a second behind my best time..... Was trying to be a little more cautious the usual! The Maclaren is the MP4-12C Sprint, its only 5 seconds faster LoL. The ZL1 is a long time track rival and friend.

Road Atlanta with Chin during Thanksgiving weekend. @85Gold @Gear Jammer

Had some fun with a GT350R around 12:00 mark and with my friend GTR around 20:00 mark

I don't have a lot of seat time personally, but I know skill when I see it! Awesome session and video. I think you probably hurt some feelings on that track that day...lol

 

[Bill Pemberton]

Tommy Boy is so correct ......you hurt a lot of feelings , nice run.

 

[Bill Pemberton]

Mad Hatter ---- agree with VoodooBoss , your driving has improved a bunch and you have gone from damn good to stellar !! Undertired is a problem running just 295s ( may be worth trying the 305 Pilot Sport Cups if really warm this time of year in the Southern Hemisphere?!) , and keep posting the Chile track times , since for many of us this is a Chilly time of year , ha.

PS - but then the poor Camaro and Porsche must have been perplexed wondering how you stayed all over them with your tiny rubber Hoosier tubes, ha?!

 

[antman450]

Chuckwalla in November. Just a few laps. Not fastest, just fun until my tires blistered and exploded. Don't use old tires (like 5 years old) even if stickers.

 

[Mad Hatter]

Nice race track!! What were the tires that blew up?? Maybe you were just tooo fast! Leaving the traffic behind

 

[antman450]

275/35/18 R6's but they were 5 years old. Never doing that again. I was in a time pinch and could not find tires except for those. Even a set of Pirelli take offs would have been perfect and dropped probably 4 seconds on my lap times. These tires really had no grip.
