No one bothered keeping time, since we were either trying to stay warm or dry. It was nasty weather for an event... I'd love to go back and see what I could lay down with tires getting up to proper temps and dryer conditions.

That's good to hear 100 mph is a marker of speed on the back straight, as I was just crossing into that before having to break. That said, there's more there, I just couldn't gather more nerve through one. It was quick with the old clockwise layout, and this new counter direction is equally as fast.

What front pads do you plan on running there next go around? 12s?

 

I think we were doing 1:04's - 05's in the One Lap this year. But it was RAINING and COLD and those were street tires. Coming down the back stretch into the final turn it was near the top of 4th IIRC which in that car was 120ish. Fun Little track. Due to the crappy weather I never pulled the lap data off the traqmate.

 

I ran xp12s last time and I felt they were up to the task but a pain to modulate compared to the xp10s. I would love to find something in between that holds up. The porterfields r4 were easy to modulate but only lasted to events.

 

I would be very excited to see the recordings from this. The fastest I have seen yet was a 1:03 in the dry in a c6 z06 on Hoosiers with a pro driver.

3:22 total time over 3 lap time from a standing start in the pouring rain. First lap was 5 seconds slower due to being a standing start in the wet. So 22-5 is 17, 17/3 is 5.6 so an average of a 1:05.6 but IIRC from the track mate it was like a 1:06.1 and a 1:04.9 ish. Michelin pilot PS2's. Keep in mind you get one out lap as your "WARM UP" lap so this was essentially going out blind so you learn it every lap and go faster. I hadn't been their since the repaving. Pretty neat taking a AWD car down in a 2wd car in the wet. HEHE.

 

maybe an e-brake is just to keep the insurance happy

I'm wondering what the fastest street tire s2000 is at Roebling

 

Ok, a GT2 Makes me feel better about running 1:10s

 

Oh yea.... sorry. Should have included that.

 

The Forged Performance Time Attack event is coming up soon. Just wanted to remind anyone that their is still time to register.

Hope to see you guys there!

 

Still some room left in each class. We'll have the official AMB transponder timing as well as a few loaner Traqmate's with video that we can put in the fast cars

There may even be some instruction available throughout the weekend.
