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.

I was running on RA1s on their last leg. It was the last track day I got out of them, and I got about 6k miles total out of them. Not too bad. I just swapped over to R888s.
That's the other thing, we could have been running different configurations. We were running it Clockwise that day. I started the day out running in the mid 2:20s and worked my way down to the 2:18 with the help of a friend of mine talking me through it. (Hes got a lot of track time so hes my 'free' instructor')
I was so tired by the end of the day without power steering I started spinning the car left and right.
I was real sad my car is still up at Guldstrand and I couldn't come out with you all. I've been dealing with some health issues as well but I really need to come out and meet you, the Pozzis and everyone else. I'm sure it was a blast. Regardless I'm glad to see you ripping Penny out there
Any paint damage from all these adventures yet?
