Just improved on my previous best at Pacific Raceways by a second on Saturday. I’m at 1:32.48 now. Pretty happy with that.

Ladies and gentlemen – just a quick reminder that you need to update the spreadsheet that’s in the original post. I don’t go through these individual posts and update the spreadsheet myself.

Found another second at Pacific since I posted the lap a few posts up,

I did switch from Goodyear Supercar 3s in 265/275 on 18x9.5/18x10.5 wheels to Kumho V730 275 square on 18x10 wheels, so that probably helped, but there are a few spots where I was driving better on 4/29, and weather was cooler, so there’s still some opportunity for next time.

Still have lots on time to be gained (as always)-- but super happy I was able to break into the 1:24x this past weekend

what front sway bar are you running?

for your bucket seat, what did you do about the airbag?

those both are on my next list! do you have a wing as well?

1:21.X is flying, great job

Sway bar is from Bimmerworld, GTmore kit. I coded off the airbag warning lights. Wing and lip are from Team Schirmer.

Hope to see you at Summit Point one day!

Thanks for all the Info -- Seat is on my immediate next to do, I spend so much time and effort pinning myself from sliding left to right, a harness is going to have a huge impact for me

I'll be at CCC (8/31) and Trackdaze Sept Event (9/23-9/24)-- if we cannot connect this season, next season for sure.

Very smooth car control. Hardly moving in the seat too! How do the RE71RS hold up to the heat of constant lapping? Are you on stock wheels or wider?

Thanks. Sometime I think I’m too smooth, need to work on finding the grip to back on full throttle sooner.
RE71RS can hold up around 25mins, and then it becomes greasy.
Wheels are Apex specs for 19”, staggered setup.

Got it. I run with BMW NCC and PCA Potomac a lot. I’ll be at their event in Sep and Oct. Come to drive with us! Sometime we get 3-4 m2 in same group to play~

The seat will be a game changer for you most likely! Has to be my favorite mod - lets you feel what the car is doing so much better!

Hmm, I guess I never updated this thread with this time—ended up posting it in a couple other places. This was December of last year and I didn't expect to run COTA again for 2022, but the Edge Addicts event in late December had the field thin out toward the end of Sunday so they were kind enough to let me hop in for 2 sessions. Nabbed my goal of going under 2:30 on stock power and 275 square 200tw.

Earlier this summer I then had a friend persuade me to go to Hallett Motor Racing Circuit in Oklahoma with him. He was kind enough to trailer my car along with my spare wheels. Due to the chance of rain and just learning the track, I decided to run the 265/35 RS-4 scrubs that were already on the car (picked up from a WRL team for $200), and just had a blast.

Hallett is a really fun track and the NASA event was a great grassroots vibe! I really can't wait to get back up there on a faster tire and see what I can get out of the car.

Nice laps! How do you like 3DM TTX kit? Is yours 2ways or 4ways? Do you drive the car on street?

Thanks—need to get back to Hallett and improve that time.

Love the 3DM TTX kit, one of my favorite items on the car (just made an instagram post about it). I have 2 ways as I felt 3 or 4 ways (or even 5 ways if count the blowoff valve body) would be overkill for my needs. I may upgrade to have high speed adjustments whenever it is that I eventually get them serviced—in the mean time, the 2 ways are plenty. I do occasionally drive on the street and the car is more than streetable, even on roads that are less than perfect.

NJMP Thunderbolt- 1:29.4s with 1:28s non-traffic optimal. Advanced open track day.

The M2 was putting the smack down on some new Vettes, Z06, ZL1, Mach 1 stang, GT4, 911s, and many different race cars. Altho, several of those cars should have been faster with driver upgrades.
