That best lap happened chasing down a Spec Cayman Race car testing for the weekends club race. It gave me a bit of a tow up the back straight.

In the past - BMW Trillium weekends / instructor+solo Fridays. Now - 6th Gear and private days with RCLUB, M-Tech / Paragon, etc.

I know we don't list anything except tire here, but new front splitter by SpageSport + lower ride height / corner balance setup by Rocco at RMP deserves all the credit here, RMP really knows what a fast, efficient setup looks like.

Jeez you two are fast. I'm about 7 seconds off your times.

Do either of you have video so I can compare?

Nothing recent, getting lazy with video capture, but my own two standards have been Seb Juneau and Peter Carroll

I've watched both those laps before, time to buckle down and see exactly where I should be focusing turn by turn!

Yeah the S54 sounds great when the mic is shoved down it’s throat. I have a CSL style intake and the mic is positioned right at the opening.

Buttonwillow Raceway 13CW

PB - 2:01.2

265 Square a052 (1 track day old)
JRZ RS Pro

First time taking this car out. It's currently on JRZ RS pros.
I'm new to the chassis so I'm not sure what's an ideal alignment setting. I'm also new 2 way suspension so I didn't touch the dampening. Just left it from previous owners recommendation, pretty good off the bat. But I believe the car can sub2 with a good setup. And the a052 scrub tires fell off after the first 2 sessions.

Anyone with buttonwillow experience can share suggestions?

NJMP Tbolt

No new changes, same 2JZ engine and fairly new Toyo RRs. Just getting more comfortable with aero. Lots of traffic this session but only one clean run

If you are curious and have driving NJMP Thunderbolt, you can see a few laps of me hitting 160mph down the straight. It's very frightening in this tiny car.

1:10.060 on fresh RRs. Did 1:10.7 on fresh Falken RT660s. I had some fun with a 992 Cup car around 14 minute mark

dre99gsx - Very cool we finally got to do a track day together after all these years. Your car is a beast, here’s how it looked from my POV



Here’s a short clip from Day 2 after I got my bearings. Sorry for the wind buffering, forgot to connect my external mic.

I stopped updating the main page as it became too time consuming but at this point I suggest we create a google spreadsheet. Anyone tech savvy want to take a stab of pulling one other?

Basic info
- name
- date
- track
- lap time
- chassis, engine
- dyno whp
- tires
- suspension
- aero
- link to video
