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.

That's a pretty amazing time, nice job Chris... checking the nasa tt records, you'd have the course record for TTB, close on TTA and TTS

TTU 969 Michael Ellis C6 Corvette Z06 1:10.0 4/17/11
TTS 34 Troy Schoenmeier 06 Mitsubishi EVO 01:13.6 5/29/10
TTA 21 Thai Diep 06 Mitsubishi EVO Hoosier, Motorsports Performance Group 1:13.8 4/17/11
TTB 296 Andrea Cairone BMW M Coupe AxisOfOversteer.com 01:15.4 5/30/10

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.

cossie1600 · 08-03-2011, 05:15 PM

what can you do to your car while keeping it tta legal?wouldnt a set of slicks and suspension and basic intake exhaust already put you near the limit of tta?

Not a NASA expert but from what I read you can take out just about as much weight as you want to reach the power to weight ratio. I'd take a lighter car over any power adder, suspension is a must for me, especially if you run DOT slicks. I haven't run with NASA yet so I don't have to worry about it. Travis's car was TTA compliant and he's done a lot more to it than me!

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

My rivals will be in the teens for sure. I think corner speed will mean a lot of time at this track, but I still fully expect to be destroyed by the Corvettes and GT-R. My ambition is to run at least a 2:16, we shall see come September.

wh1te370z · 08-09-2011, 10:42 AM

i know you said i could get in the teens but its gotta be high teens. my buddy in his gtr did a 2.11 w slicks. i want to go back so bad and get in the low 20's or the teens.
