NJMP THUNDERBOLT 6/17 6/18

Met [MENTION=13658]TDC[/MENTION] and a few other mustang guys, great weekend end though too hot. By the end of the second day I was spent

I hashed it up pretty bad. My best was a 1:40 I fee like I was good for a 1:38 / 1:39





Some Laps


When you try too hard :lol:

Great vid and good move in straightening out the wheel right before you went off. Saved you from a spin.

Nice time of 1:40 and you were really moving through some of those corners. That black mustang GT was quick and you were on him.

Looked fun, nice videos. Did you actually reach the rev limiter on the first video around 4 or so minutes in? I thought I heard the engine or you lift, wasn't sure.

Your closure rate on some of those smaller cars in the with the first video had me on the edge of my seat - go figure. Looks like a blast though, thanks for posting them. Looks really, really, fun.

I hit redline it is a blast though.

Nice job! If you want to see some different lines check out my video. This was in a Boss 302R on Street tires

Hey was nice to meet you, great vid, you got some nice clear laps at the end. You were lucky not to have an i8 in your group as a lap car.

Interesting line. There is a guy with a GT with Race tires he runs a line similar to yours. Is that a function of the additionally grip?

What sort of lap times were you running?

You came up on those Vetts pretty quick there towards the end and it didn't look like the blue one motioned you by (or I didn't see it). I'm guessing you guys are in the top tiers of these how do you handle those situations?

More questions I know, sorry. Looks fun so just trying to see what sort of event it is to maybe visit one in the area (I'm near Willow's and Sears Point). Also understand more about what the beginner requirements are to maybe take my daily driver with.

Believe it or not it is a lot of fun just watching them to see it through your guys/gals eyes/videos.

Might be a slightly different line through the Octopus (T9/T10), carried over from autocrossing (minimum distance). I've got the Aim Solo data but no way as yet to merge it into the GoPro video. The Aeroforce gauge is pretty close on mph. MPSS tires.

I think T7 is slightly deceptive, can penalize early turn-in. Came to grief there myself for the same reason (made worse by being over a foot too wide as well).


Norm

Thanks for posting. Love watching these. It's 3 years since I have been to NJMP.

I think you can learn a lot from Norm's line, but don't tell him I said that.
