Hopefully Charlie will chime in. Turn 1 and turn 9 is what I'll be working on. I dont use all of 9 and need to pick up my speed going in and comeing out of 9. I know your supposed to trail brake about in the middle of 8 and 9 in order to set up for 9.
I need to be in the 2:04's to be satisfied. That will mean knocking 3.5 seconds off of my current times.

I clocked many laps of various cars that were running green group.... my lap times were faster than many of them. BUT --- big butt --- they had more traffic than I did. The new Mustang Jack built (the original builder of my car) was running 2:08's -- and everyone said the 'bypass' was a 4 second difference - so he'd be running 2:04's
He has KILLER brakes -- HUGE tires (315's all around) -- is light (think carbon fiber roof and doors etc) -- the car is set up -- and the driver is experienced (sounds like a line from Jimi Hendricks) So if you get to 2:04 you are smokin' hot!!
One of the very experienced drivers and set up guys took Chets Mustang out (similar to Charley and my cars) - granted it's not as powerful as mine - and might not be set up as well etc (but it might be set up better? Who knows).... but think Mary Pozzi -- Kevin is going to wring out a time in it... and he was running 2:16's. So I was happy with my 2:10/2:12/2:14 laps
