Finally, @Chris Kelley , I said in post race chat that your lag was a cause of my incident at the Heel, turn 8 (race 2, lap 10, time 17:44)

In my replay I see the lag still. You’d gone into the grass so I was gaining but on switchback I went into the grass myself. I over corrected a bit coming back on and was just “that much” too far right, distracted by not hitting you (clippped your quarter panel) and missed my braking point.

I’m confirming!!! I will agree the lag was a bit distracting… but the racing was good! See you guys next round!

Yeah, I was looking at it. I put one off and you went to make your move. I had already made it tough on you once through there. I kept having to defend the inside up the hill where I’m down on power. You went inside to get me to react. So I slid inside a tad, but it was a fake, and I tried to give you room inside because I thought you had committed. When you went left I ended up going with you until I realized what you had done. I unintentionally blocked your view of the braking marker. You totally miss it, and sailed it off into the marbles. Lol

I tried to tuck it back in there, it was too late. You just did knick my quarter. I think you could’ve got it slowed up had it not been for that.

Just one of those racing deals.

Guys I just wanted to say I had a blast last night! There was some really close, tight battles and I managed to stay out of trouble until the last few laps of the second race, where I spun all on my own.
Anyway, I’m happy with my overall result considering I had little to no practice time to set up the car, and it was great to be racing with you guys again!
Can’t wait for Laguna 😎👍🏼

Just woke up. I hope there's still room 🫣

Had an awesome battle with you....I had to be patient for what felt like a lifetime in race 1 until a door opened. Great battle and glad to have you racing with us.

I also want to say how much fun I had last night. I was up past 2:00am all wired-up from the intense racing.

That was my first official experience of any kind under the SNAIL banner and the experience was great. I was bummed at missing Daytona last month but living about 2.5 hours from the Watkins Glen, I was really looking forward to this and it exceeding my expectations. Great CLEAN battles at the back & at the front.

I’m very happy to have found this group. I enjoy not only the racing but also the nightly practices that some of us have been doing.

@llNovall I can’t imagine the time and effort you put into this kind of stuff but it’s very much appreciated.
And boy…what a fun car to drive.

Round 2 was fun, thanks again for setting this up Nova. I can't say it enough. I'm really looking forward to round 3 at Laguna Seca, its one of my favorite tracks.

Thank you sir for catching a few photos of Event #2...nice job and very much appreciated. Laguna Seca is going to be a very busy track in a few weeks time. Can't wait.

Has anyone ran any laps at Laguna Seca yet? I’m definitely off the mark a bit. The best lap I can get so far is 1:24 but it’s early I guess so lots of time to practice and dial in the car!
Correct me if I’m wrong but we should likely be around the 1:21’s or better?

 

[Chris Kelley]

No one knows. Until a few engineers give out the base tune. Usually when the base is posted you’ll be looking to push a second to a second and a half below that. No one usually gets real serious about lap time until the track conditions are posted.

Phlano ran about 8 laps and baselined Laguna Seca at low 1:24's using lobby, afternoon, SO8 settings. Conditions have not been set quite yet, but as War said, expect real numbers to be into the low-mid 1:23's.....then again Phlano is fast among the field atm and is typically fast at Laguna Seca. But hi 23's to low 24's is a good starting point.

I’ll need a book to cover myself before I go to the chalk board.

Got to a 1:23.4 today OPT was 1:23.1

1:22s will be in play by race day...

Spa or Laguna?

 

[Phlano099]

Spa or Laguna?

We can do both...run a couple of 6 lap races at Spa and then some laps at LS...just about having some fun...

 

[Fudman420]

I'd be down but I was kinda waiting to see If my bop is changing where I need to swap to the rh.
