Only the second time I have run at Heartland Motorsports Park in Topeka as we just moved into the area. But this one is my personal best. Little drift into the finish section cost me some and there are some spots I am still feeling out where I could brake a bit later so still some time to be found!
HotLap screenshot. We use HotLap for official timing for our events and the GPS I use for HotLap gets 100hz because it is an aviation GPS and we are close to an airport with GPS augmentation.
The submission form seems to be down but I have a new PB in the old car from earlier this year, I then wrecked that car and got another faster one which set a new class record at Sandia Speedway (name changed to Suika Circuit this year)

I did best my PB at Heartland on the last event of the year last year, and by the looks of it will never have another chance to clean that one up and make it better since the track closed! I was actually around a half second off the winning TT5 time that day and they were on Hoosiers so I was happy with the lap. 3/4 syncrho is in pretty bad shape in my tranny (another one ready to swap in now) so those shifts were horrendously slow and babied lol

Just completed my second track event with this car - man does it require some focus. Love the way the engine sings (AP1). This is going to be a journey to find faster lap times.

Notes: video timed by Track Addicts app. Does have roll bar and one Recaro seat. Car was super loose and required immense concentration to avoid the snappy rear-end from stepping out.
