Dyam im one happy dude right now...I crushed my previous best lap time of 1:41.4 @ WillowSprings big track by clicking off a 1:39.8!!!! I broke the 1:40 barrier!! The thing that gets me is that i ran on the 91 octane file not the usual 93 or 100 files that I track on...too poor to run straight 100.. I ran in the Intermediate #2 group of roughly 20 cars..It was tough getting clean laps all day due to too many cars slowing some of us down when catching 'em.. A few Lotus Exige..Assorted newer M5's ..M6's ..350z's..Corvettes..Porsche RS..pretty sure the BMW guys were all buddies since they passed me up on the way there on the 14 in a wolf-pack! They were on race tires posting in the low 1:40's..Doughboy 2.0 POWAH!..Key factors in this best lap time had to have been the R-compound BFG R1's bought them barely used still at 4/32" for $390 shipped ..Ebaybaby!!..stiffer sidewalls..quicker turn-in response..just frigging plain sticky... but once the temps climbed to about 100deg..times dropped considerably... l know im getting faster trackin-out in infamous turn 9..and im experimenting with a slightly different line in turns 5..deeper braking points in turns 1 and slightly lifting off throttle rather than quickly jabbing the brakes when i set up for #2 sweeper..Met Chuck in his Beautiful black RS4 w/ Stasis/Ohlins suspension..he was suffering with street tires though..think he was lapping mid 40's..Wonder what 100 octane will do next time.. lap times are posted on Speedventures.com...peace
