Here are a few good laps of Thunderhill. The driver is a friend of mine and the car is owned by another. Enjoy!

Wow, those are some blazing times.

Oh man, a real turn at 109-110mph? Wow. Just wow. The consistency is also something to shoot for.

It was pretty warm that day. With cooler temps and a few aero changes they should be in the 1:49.** range.

Last year when it was cooler, the engine had more power on the back section of the track (corners 6, 7, 8), the speeds approaching 8 were 116-118 mph, therefore corner 8 was taken at 114 -116 mph!!!! Now with my previous set up (similar but with less power) I could match the min 96 mph through corner 1. But it was interesting that I could only get to 108 mph before corner 8, crack the throttle, set the nose and back down so 106 mph through corner 8.
Did I say I LOVE this track!!

Edit: Consistant, smooth, easy on the car. This is always the goal but easier said than done.
