Low 2:3x's are what I'll be shooting for next time out. No doubt the car is capable of better, just slowly tightening the nut behind the wheel and getting feet wet with adjusting tire pressures/suspension for track conditions.

my stupid goal is 2:45 for now... gotta get the new suspension ordered and a built motor, then high to mid 2:30's are on the horizon...

Dang, thats moving pretty well, the ama super bikes run 2:10-2:11. Its even crazier to think about the lap record of 1:39.866 by Dario Franchitti in a champ car. Man i wish those guys would come back (now just the IRL i think) , i never got up there to see them at RA. I probably won't be able to drive this year as the car isn't ready and i just got another car, lol. might be up to watch though.

What are the rules as far as co-driving a car? Friend with a c6z is thinking about going and offered to let me drive a couple sessions, how can I say no to that!
