Attended a Time Trial event at the Talladega Gran Prix Raceway(1.4 mile) Saturday October 1. First time on a road course and the experience was fantastic.
I have a 16 GTPP with a Cora Extreme Cat-Back system, PMAS and a Palm Beach Dyno tune. Put the stock PP wheels and tires back on it and drove 2 hours to the track.
I've drag raced 30+yrs with the NMCA, NMRA, ORSCA and local Outlaw 10.5 stuff and never saw myself deviating from straight line racing. Had no idea what I was missing. It was the best time I've ever had driving/racing a car.
We had 5 sessions, 3 twenty minute sessions and 2 fifteen minute session.
Started the first session just feeling out the car and track and managed a 1:15.7. Every session I picked up and in the final session I clicked off a 1:10.0 lap.
The track staff and racers were fantastic making an already great experience even better. Now I'm making a list of handling equipment starting with tires and swapping the BMR SP080 springs for the SP083R.
Attached is the video of the last session. Lap 5 was my best lap.
