Default GT3 DE Thunderhill 9/9/12

Had a great run with fellow rennlisters at Thunderhill last weekend. It's always fun to run with friends and chase each other around the track. Everyone broke 2:00 mark and Mr 24Chromium did a 1:57.8 and gave me a hard time on the track

Geoff in his 2010 Cup was flying and I had no chance catching up on the straights. Great run folks ... sharpen your tools for the next meet

Looks like a good time Mike! I need to get up there too and break the new car's track virginity.

Remember when we had like 8 GT3s at Thill in 2010?

Awesome! Miss running with you guys this year

I see they have blocked some "cheater" areas of the track- T12 and between T14/15.

Everybody has gotten fast

Savy.. I love those Cheater spots

I only have driven TH 1 time and I loved it!!! Such a great mix of turns with on and off camber and elevation.. really makes our socal tracks feel like gokart tracks.

I think my best time was a 1:56:4 in my 997S (gutted with slicks).. cant wait to go back with mobicup and see if we can break the 1:52 mark!

Your grey car needs some minor work: headers, Sharky ECU, erase side mufflers, Li-Ion battery, airbag delete, lightening on the carpets, Baron uprights, naked trunk, PCCB rotors, and re-geared 3rd/4th/5th with the stock 5th into 6th. It will drop 3 secs a lap at TH, guaranteed.

No more Mooty point-by to Mikymu.

when u dump ur POS and buy a cup, maybe I will acknowledge ur presence.

plus, I don't want spinning mikymu take me out lol.

I do recall dive bombing 24chromium 2x at T2, he's got good awareness when not spinning.

joe is good, I just wish u would stay on pavement and don't make a fkg mess all over T3. it's off camber, I already have prob there, don't add dirt to pavement.

2009 cupcars are capable of 1:48-1:50 at th. No way on earth what you mentioned ie mods will 3.8 rs will reach those laptimes. Are you comparing driver to driver? Mike

u tell me....
I came out Esses first lap, I usually take the whole right side curb. ****, I saw TIRES......... barely missed them.

when I just passed joe, I got about .5" to the drums outside of T14. I figured those are softer than walls. the t was close

Yes! I do remember those good old days. Now when I show up to the track we slap each other's face and eat a bowl of nails and try to break land speed. It's all business now days ... but fun. Can't wait to harass your new girl on the track

Get a nice trailer (larger) and get your butt down here

They set up the tires at T11 and T14 last week for 24H Lemons ... can you imagine the mess
