He played with tire pressure and added some tow but I believe he beat his old time.

Got home an hour ago and just finished dinner. What a fricken blast!! Most fun a guy can have with his pants on!! It's been 6 months since I'd been on a road course and I cant believe I had a case of the nerves. Weather in the morning was nice and brisk and we know how are engines like brisk weather. I had to easily be doing 140 mph plus before entering into turn one. My new brake pads were fricken awesome. Could not believe how well the car was stopping. 1st session I did 5 laps. Car was weaving side to side down the straight due to a bad alignment. I wasn't paying attention when dude aligned my car and the toe was set at -1/32. Scored some toe plates and fixed the toe. Second session car was much better but tire temps raised air pressures to high and I was a bit loose. Third session was much better but I had to chase the track temps as the asphalt temp kept going up so I chased air pressure all day. 4th session was fun as hell. My fricken GoPro was set on pictures so I never got vid which totally pissed me off. I was so stoked to get home and load vid. Had some exciting side by side passing in turns and on peoples tails at the same time. Man am I pissed I screwed that up. The whole day was about tuning the car and fifth session I adjusted shocks again but when I got in and felt my steering wheel it was wobbly as hell. Somehow I managed to tear one of the holes in the steering wheel where it mounts to the hub. Wasn't going to chance it so I called it a day. My best time of the day was a 2:07.4. Sorry no vids guys, I'm super disappointed about that but I promise not to screw it up next time.
Still not done tuning car so I will most likely be going back next month.

I was pretty confident I was going to do even better my fifth session. I looked around and noticed alot of guys were leaving and not going out the fifth session. I was thinking to myself, "ahhh yes, this next session is going to be good". Darn steering wheel!!
An Asian guy in a newer Z06 w/ Hoosiers, bunch of carbon fiber, and a big azz wing got on my tail coming out of 15 and I pulled him down the straight. I talked to him in the paddock afterwards and he said he was putting down 545 to the rear wheels. I was like no way dude I'm probably putting down 480 and you still couldn't catch me. He claimed the wing slowed him down.

You have no idea how pissed I am about the GoPro!! First thing I did when I got home was slip the sd card in my lap top anticipating some radical vid. I was side by side trying to make a pass going up the bypass and around turn 6, made the pass and got on the tail of another Porche when all of a sudden another Porsche flew by and passed us both heading into 7 . What a fricken blast!! Man I was looking forward to seeing that on vid.
Cant wait till your motor is done
