Good time.. on what tires?

The brakes really hurt.. it's not that they didn't work (well, they did until the rear one fell off) but the car shook so violently that you tended to brake softer earlier. The pads really helped.

Dave's best "theoretical" time according to the Racepak was 2:16.5 ... nice to have a goal to shoot for.

I'm amazed how many configurations Buttonwillow has.
