Quick Question for you west coasters.
I am not seeing a lot of lap times for WSIR 2.5 course. I am trying to judge if 1.31/1.29 is a good time?
Thanks for helping out.

1:29-1:31 is very fast. The instructor I ran with in 04' in his 911 was a retired racer. He was running 1:34, and it was top 3 for the day. The others were 1:33.8 in a race-prepped Camaro, and the next was 1:34.4 in a worked C5 vette. "Typical" times for your general warrior are high 1:30s low 1:40s. I'm not sure what these guys were driving on 9/2/07, but they were fast (best lap time):

In the wheel-to-wheel racing world those times are average.
Spec Miata is typically in the 1:36s.
The ITS lap record is 1.31 for John Norris driving his BMW E36.
Typical current SRF lap times are around 1.33 because of the new Goodyears.
Most vintage racing Porsche 911s and Datsun 240Zs are around 1.31s.
SCCA T1 lap times are in the 1.27s, T2 lap times are in the 1.32s.
A Sedan (Mustang/Camaro) are typically in the 1.31s.
NASA FFR cars are in the 1.36s.

It's a SRF with a fairly new motor.
SRFs used to run in the 1:30s when they had the Yokohama tires. SCCA cut a deal with Goodyear and they are now running some left over race tires that have slowed the cars by 3 seconds at WSIR. I think the SRF guys have gotten some of that lost time back but I don't know for sure.
