I have LOTS of times there! Most of my clear laps were in the 1:48s, though we clipped a few 1:47s as well. It's a horsepower track, which I don't have compared to most of the cars there (it was like a C6 Vette show at the last event). I'm still chasing my best time in my 300ZXTT, which has 2x the HP on the track, at a low 1:46.

Were you up from SoCal with NCRC or another group? I haven't seen many other 350s there (that I didn't know). Were those times with the TT, because 1:45 (and moving towards a 1:43) would be smashingly fast without the extra power, and I wouldn't think the 350 would have it in it. David Ray set the T2 track record there with a 1:45.219 then beat it with a 1:44.864, which is right there with the ITE cars. If we do an event together there sometime, I'm following your line!
Bumping the ole' what's winter thread with some more "winter" footage - and a 1:42.xx lap time - from Laguna a few weeks ago:

I like this one the best. And these guys are on little skinny slicks. Had to laugh when the Grand Am Driver drove my car around T Hill on big fat A6's he said it was a lot slower but it had way more grip than the Grand Am car.
