Yes class record. My competition was all E36 M3's and STi's. The STi put up the best fight but I was still nearly 1.5 seconds faster. I had to run with an absolutely completely full tank as the light bulb turn (as they call it) has you pulling 1.4 lateral G with full acceleration for quite some time. And my fuel gauge broke, it now reads 1/2 tank always.

Thanks guys, I was very happy with the result. Now ... if I could take out 300 pounds of weight to get down to what Travis runs I think I could match that TTA record This winter the car is going on a diet.

COMSCC is closer to the SCCA rules where there is a specific list of things you can and can't do for each class. I should have been in Street Touring but get bumped to Street Prepared because the brakes are not OEM in origin. Heck I've still got stock seats! Really need race seats as trying to stay in your seat while pulling 1.4G is tricky.

Don't want to take us too far off topic here, maybe we should make an unoficial NASA classing thread somewhere... also, has been discussed here TravisJB Journal ... bottom line for me, I got Greg the NASA TT Director to re-establish my base class based upon a lower weight and a specific whp. That allows me to not take points for power and weight modifications because they are already built into the base class he assigned. Make sense? Discuss on my journal if you like. -T

That's a pretty good time for an all stock car.

you are a novice, you will beat me next time you go.
chris, i was actually disappointed because everyone i know runs in the teens. i felt slightly better once i realize the glen is a cornering track, not just hp track like all the idiots who told me. i dont think i am cracking the teens with the car the way it is with me driving. i will check with the wife to see if i can buy some r6s |
