Yes that is me. I got in three good sessions at the ring. I gave a friend the first ride and nearly scared the pants off of me, Brakes were still little green. That Detroit Locker really bites coming out of tight turns and coming in , well lets just say you better leave the sissy pants at home. :drive:

Started with a full tank of fuel and ten minutes into the third session it started to run out . I pulled off and was headed to the gas station. I rounded the shell station there at the track and Kaboom all shat broke loose. I think it must of had a defect.

I think this car is trying to pay me back from the stunt I pulled on it last year.

No helmet!?  8:30 seems pretty fast and good for a stock motor and a car with little mods!  The new Z06 does 7:40, and old one 7:56?  So I wonder what a Z28 with worked suspension, some weight removal, 100 more HP, and some big brakes could do?
Any other Ring times?
Oh, on the straight though, are you going like 120, 140, 160?

No helmet required, although (of course) it's sensible to wear one...

I think we have to differ here between measurements of different times:
What Roy posted is a BTG time ("bridge to gantry") as you cannot do multiple laps without slowing down at non-professional racing sessions. Depending on the car you have to add some seconds to that BTG time to compare it to the magazine/racing times (I'd say in the case of the Camaro add maybe 15-18 seconds).

Then, the 8:30 was Roy's best time not mine. Actually I don't have my "best time" in mind. I have a video of myself doing some relaxed (not slow but relaxed) driving which resulted in a time of 9:28. Don't know what would be possible with my car (only 245 KDW street tires!), maybe 8:50-8:55?

On that straight (Doettinger Hoehe) the lap is over so my speed there's maybe 100mph max. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) From the start until the first chicane I achieve about 115mph. I can achieve over 135mph approaching Schwedenkreuz.

More Ring lap times:
I've got a bunch of street car lap times verified by the German sport auto magazine which tests the cars on the track. If you're interested I can scan the page and post it tomorrow...
