The second place competitor was two seconds slower and partner in crime was almost 4 seconds slower so it was fun giving him the business about his American Muscle!

To keep the throttle pinned and throw it into the turn and hope it sticks.

Lol, that is pretty much it. It was everything we talked about in my Wild Horse Pass video thread. He drove my Z for three or four laps and then I got back behind the wheel. He was really impressed with how well car handled and showed me what I needed to learn to do. When we finished the session he said to me that I need to learn how to use my tires more. Let them do the braking and not the brakes. He said if you read the temperature across the width of the tires that there would be a significant delta between the temps when I finished as session than when he would finish because of the way he would drive and use the tires. He said, you are probably not close to the manufactures recommended operating temperature, so drive and use those tires and you will find more grip! I listen and learned!!! Still not there but what an improvement. I was at least 4 seconds faster during the Time Attack than before. The next day I dropped my time another 2.5 seconds. As Rusty said, the car has a lot of poke and the driver is still working getting up to speed lol.

Well, I feel sorry for the other guys (ok, no I don't) when you get up to speed.

LOL, that is exactly what the perpetrators said. You Kingman guys should consider yourself as officially part of the AZ NASA family. It really did make us feel accepted as part of core group of participants and officials.

Both are awesome venues and great proving grounds for what you and your car can do when compared to the best or the norm.

I could only set a 2.07.3 on buttonwillow. Not fast by any means but pretty respectable on the tires i have and the open diff. Hopefully next time there is close to 2 flat. I know where i can shave time, i called it early because not enough camber and i was ruining my front driver side tire...
