First off I just want to thank everyone I met from the Viper Club at Willow Springs last weekend. You guys were a wealth of info. Special thanks to Ron Wasserman, Paul Schley (hope everything is OK with your car) and Chris from The Viper Shop.
Saturday I started out running times of 1.42 down to a 1.39 by the end of the day.
I did have one mishap (STUPID) coming down the front straightaway entering turn 1 I entered the braking zone pushed the clutch in and while I was downshifting from 5 to 4th I accidently dropped it into second..(Dumb) and went into 3 360 degree spins....what a ride. I'll never do that again. Car was OK and not to much dirt on the inside. I guess i now have joined the turn 1... sand and gravel club!!!
Sunday much better (but still thinking about turn 1...yikes)
Myfirst session I got my times down to a 1.37 average and by the end of the day I had run a 1.36 and a 1.35. Felt preety good about these times.
Thes times dont even come close to Paul Schley's team of Vipers...I was clocking them at 1.27, 1.28,1.29 & 1.30's these guys know how to race!!!!!!
The only question I have is what should I be running with a Stock GTS. The only mods I have are smooth tubes and K&N Filter and racing brake pads. I do not know how to judge my times.
Thanks and glad to be a member VCA!!!
