track vids - Watkins Glen - z06

First time at the Glen! it is a legendary track for good reason.


Because this was just an HPDE (and not a time trial event), I used scrub R6's 275 front, 315 rear. Last dyno was 360 hp (stock motor, with air box). Stock shocks, T1 sway bars, hawk blues (just about done). My best was lap 2:11 but I was held up in multiple spots by a car in front of me (see video and throttle position shows I was off the gas a lot following him up the esses).

I think the track record for my class is 2:11 but I think I can get a 2:07 next time.

Was the Mustang really that quick to warrant the fender flares and wing?

bumping up for new personal best and winning TT3 with Narra at the Glen last month. Beat personal best by 5 seconds (from 2:11 to 2:06) mostly by driving harder and knowing the track better. Went from R6 295 front/315 rear to A6 275 square.



I could have gotten a 2:05 but viper slowed me on the final turn. Theoretical best by sectors shows a 2:05 by using that last turn sector time from prior lap.

Spin from vipers perspective:


The NARRA wrap up video won't be released for at least a month or two but here are my own pics:
