Hmm.....2:02 to 2:05....thats pretty fast. I like the way the car is geared now so I'm thinking I have some shock tuning to do. I imagine a little more track time wont hurt either.

2:00 - 2:05 seem to be on the edge of the fast guys on the speed ventures page. granted we do not know what car these guys are driving for these times, but some of these guys in the 1:50 rang are on street tires.

You'll have to catch me first.

Just ask the guys on monday night, I will just get you when you come around to lap me. If I stuff you in the fence it is easier to make up the lap then out drive ya.

1:50 on street tires, not to sure about that. Most the cars running the fast times are either vettes, porsches, miata's or the tuner cars. Smaller cars do very well at this track. Pretty sure the Speed Ventures page shows what car they are driving.

I said 1:50 range and there are a few guys on that list in the high 1.50 range on street tires, But just because it says what the car is does not mean you have any idea if it is track prepped or just stocker. It could say Honda civic and be a super light weight racer or a complete daily driver. Either I plan to run out there on street tires and see if my car will be able to get below 2:05. This is my favorite configuration, I have run it quite a few times.

LOL, do us both a favor and run R888's. That way you dont have an excuse for not hitting 2:10's.

i found that bmw spec e30's run 2:10 or faster at buttonwillow. I have not had a race this year, that I have not lapped them, and by them I mean the whole pack of them, as we race wheel to wheel mixed class.

In your '69 or '70? I looked into the AI times at Buttonwillow and they are running 2:02's and up so it looks like I have some things to do. The 2:10's I ran with a broken rear shock on the drivers side and I was getting loose on a couple turns but it still felt like I was moving pretty good. Not sure how I'm going to make up 8 seconds. Car feels right, handles well, i'm thinking I just need to get closer to the edge.
