It was good to meet most of you at BW that weekend!

Wow, that's amazing! I would love to see the speeds that you were hitting the corners at as well as how fast you were going through Riverside.

Brilliant! Mazel Tov!

I think I'm more impressed with the nsx time on nt05 tires and minor mods. Not that I know what it's like to pilot the other monster.

That's if you have the right car and a good driver. A sub 2:00 lap is flying. Average lap time in that configuration is around 2:10ish

Blazing! You are a very skilled driver in a well setup race car.

In my estimation, as you pass the finish line, I am just going up Phil Hill.:-)

The average time of a person at an event...so take all of the lap times from a Speed Ventures day and divide them by the total number of people to get the average lap time. Obviously some cars will have faster average lap times than others.

Watch how quick he has to make corrections with modified car. Its razor sharp and you better be ready to countersteer which Billy was as expected.
