By chance is there any in car video? It always fun watching your vids.

 

I bought a flip camera Sat night but haven't had a chance to download any of the vids and see how/if they turned out. Hope I have that session recorded. I was blown away when I saw the times!

 

Granted I have no experience with TWS......I did some snooping around at the track records, etc and 1:50 is FAST. Looks like it was a full 3 secs faster than your previous on the motor only.

 

I think it was 4.4 seconds faster than my previous on motor alone running CCW. I ran a little faster CW than CCW since you get a much longer run onto the front straight in that direction. I am extremely happy with a 1:50.2 but would have been ecstatic to get in the 49's! The car was hauling a$$ like never before.

 

Was this at ~340whp or lesser? Just curious.

 

The 1:50.276 was on the 320hp tune and it looks like I didn't get that session recorded.
Here is a vid during the first race. For ST3 on slicks I need to run the 295hp tune but I was able to put down a fast lap of 1:50.790 in Lap 3 of this race.

Qualified 3rd but the 2nd place viper didn't show to grid so I started on the front row. Probably should have been in 2nd gear but didn't expect them to throw the green flag so early. They usually wait till we're much closer to the start/finish line. First ~4 minutes (2 laps) are fun to watch but it gets boring after that with no passing other than screaming by a limping Viper between turn 2 and 3 around the 6 minute mark.

 

Awesome vid Sean, car sounds amazing!

 

2 races in 2 parts, finished 2nd in class and 3rd overall in both.

Damn.....knocked off ~4 seconds from January huh?

In for in car vids.

 

Yeah, and it was amazing. I was off on the R6 tire pressures, and I'm pushing the car more and more each time, the extra 15rwhp didn't hurt. The Hoosier recommended levels are too high, in my newly-found experience.

I have the vids here, but they are AVCHD/m2ts files, and the Panasonic software is at home. My wk pc won't let me download Splash. I just watched some vids during lunch. I'll keep tinkering with tire pressures, there may be another 1-1.5s, though I won't get greedy.

 

I don't know how up to date my source is, but the t2 lap record is in the 2:04's......but it wasn't in a 350z. I'd be curious to know what the 350z t2 record for thunderhill is.

 

I think it is still held by David Ray (it was at one point) at 2:06.6: http://motoringjstyle.blogspot.com/2...-t2-racer.html

 

This is/was my source for the overall record......http://www.gmperformancedivision.com...ords_scca.aspx

Pretty drastic difference b/w the 350z and actual track record in t2.
