2:26 on Infineon? What configuration where they running? Thats way slow even in the wet on streets if its standard course. I have turned 2:08 in a stock 350Z touring roadster ( my wifes car) out there on streets first time ever in the car. My Little 200 hp 914-6 was doing 1:52's

From looking at the pictures of the event the rain was torrential, parts of the track were rivers. Considering Mike was on worn out stock tires on a bone stock car and comfortably won his class against well setup cars I think he did pretty darn well!

Perhaps no one had ever run that course before? Again that's very slow. My first time ever on that track i was being instructed in the rain on worn streets and my car did 2:16. That's still 10 seconds faster from someone with no track experience on silly old Yokohama 100s. Guess I have fastest time with a stock touring 350z? Come on someone must have posted a faster time in a 370z? The car in stock condition should be capable of a sub 2:00 with a good driver.

There are many different levels of wet, only one level of dry. Only one car at the entire event broke the 2:00 barrier in the conditions we ran in (conditions most organizations would close the track with). To give you an idea, Brandon Davis, a professional driver, in the ACS SPEED World Challenge Mustang on racing wets ran a best of 2:16.555. Paul Dentice in the modified AE Performance 370Z has been setting track records all year long in that car so you know the car/driver combo is very capable, he ran a 2:21.904 in those conditions. This should give you a little better idea of just how wet we're talking...



Edit: Found practice times from earlier in the day when it was still wet, but much less wet. Looks like I did a 2:01.642.

When I ran the time posted I had TEIN Monoflex coilovers, a FI cat back exhaust and 19" Volk RE30's with the Yokohama AD08 tires. It was pretty unbalanced at the time but I've done some additional work now and should be settled a lot more. I'm hoping to crack 2:20 this year.

ChrisSlicks

I've only been there once so it was mostly a learning experience. The next time back I'm targeting 2:24's. Getting under 2:20 would be a brilliant time for this track. Good luck!

Well, I have some added power, better brakes, harnesses and the car has been corner balanced. I'm also running 18's and NT-01's

I'm just trying to keep pace with one of the owner's of the track who has a 2011 Mustang GT who was running 2:21's with just NT-01's. He'll be faster this year for sure.

So the new stangs are great on the tracks too huh...
Always thought they were only for drag racing.
Very impressive time and damn the stang sure is a great price for anyone in the market.

HP is HP, it's tough to make up for an extra 70HP if there are any straights

Pat@SMM

Calabogie is actually a very technical track with 23 turns, blind corners and elevation changes. Horsepower is definitely a factor here but not as much as other tracks like Mosport or Tremblant. Unfortunately I don't think I will be faster than him since he probably has at least twice as many laps than anyone else.
Have a look at this video that a local tv station featured on the track. We build and service all of those Mustangs that you see.
