This was with NASA TT3. Finished first place both Saturday and Sunday out of 15 cars.

 

Dear sir,

Why you no go faster?

 

LOL. I know I am so slow...

Need more power and real suspension. Still got first place out of 15 cars (well 15 on Saturday and 14 Sunday). I could have 40 more HP and still be legal for TT3, so I am still an underdog in the power department. If I had that plus real coilovers I would be in lap record territory. That lap record for TT3 at this track is insanely fast. The weekend I was there in this video, I was faster than all the TT1 cars except one, faster than the one TT2 car and faster than all but three of the TTU cars.

If you've never been to Mid Ohio, you should come and see if you can even get close to the low 1:31's (lap record).

Here are Sunday's results from that event.

Clearly I can since I can run faster than that in iRacing in an lmp2 car, duh!

 

Haha

 

brining it back from the dead....
lap record is a 23.2 or 23.3...
The Hoosiers are a better tire for an ultimate lap time. My car is 40lbs heavy in class and I'm 259whp when I could be 275whp. With an optimal day and the car lighter with more hp, 22s are there. ABS might net a high 21

 

We'll see if I can't get that time down in the 18-19's by spring ...

 

A few laps around one of the multiple configs at Spring Mountain Ranch this past weekend. Clutch fragged at the end

My favorite facility, and my second favorite track I have driven. Great place. really nice job with the tools you were given.

 

We'll see if the fun car can crack the 2:00 barrier at the UTCC in a couple of months...

 

That would be awesome. Has any 350Z done that yet?

 

The Conti 370's did and that was without aero....

 

Just looked it up: 1:59.662.

Nicely done Brad Jaeger.

Track: Summit Point Main
Best Lap time: 1:21.39
Car: 2003 350Z
Tires: 275 x 4 couple cycle R7's
Brakes: Stoptech 332 front/ST43 and Brembo rears/ST42
Other Modifications: Penske's, OS Giken Diff & Clutch, bolt-ons, aero, etc, etc

3020# with driver/280whp.

Ran it in the morning on Sunday in a DE3 session, but only a 1:22.3 in the second TT session with no clean laps. Huge off in the third session ended the day after the ABS failed and threw me through the grass at 100mph.

Next time out the car should be up 20-25whp and down another 20lbs. Be on A7's as well. Expecting it to get into the 19's next time out.

Car was WAY slower than expected. Back to the drawing board.
