Packed and ready to go...
Some new G-Loc G18s f G14s r pads on my ‘507’... Running the South course gives the brakes a good work out...
her 17th track event... and counting...

I’m there for a 3-day event May 18-20. When are you going? One of my favorites, I try to hit it twice a year.

Agreed... a great track...
I’m a VIR drivers club member and a HPDE instructor... I’m there at least twice a month... can’t make
hyperfest but give me a shout next time your there...

That’s awesome. I took mine there 5 years ago and ran the full course with the Porsche Club. Great track.

How was your track day Duffer?

Sort of related, I have a free pass (“Crew”, not driver) to HyperFest @ VIR if anyone wants to go. May 18-20. PM me if interested.

The PDE guys are great, I’ve run with Gary and Cheryl and their crew a bunch of times. Good people. I’ll probably sign up for their event in Sep.

Decent lap time depends on how the car is setup and more importantly the experience/skill level of the driver. Are we talking right off the street on street tires, R-compounds, brake pads or BBK, other power mods or tune, suspension work, coupe or sedan, etc. Too many factors to make a sweeping statement on that. I’d think that a 2:24 would be a pretty good time with a tune and on MPSS and upgraded brake pads. Last time I ran there I was settling in the 2:08-2:10 range, and should be in the 2:06’s this year is my guess. My car does not have many stock parts left on it though.

The scene from VIR today. Total washout. Got in a bunch of 2:18’s in the rain during open track practice, but it’s been pouring on and off all day (right now we are huddled in place due to lightning). Tomorrow looks better and Sunday actually looks good so fingers crossed. I think the car has a 2:04 in it but will need the weather to cooperate a bit.
By the way HyperFest is like nothing I’ve ever seen. Some very serious weaponry here.

Yeah car was rockin, thanks again for those mounts Ahmad!

Any day at VIR is a great day... She’s running 2:19s on full course... 20 track days and counting... got to love when your the only car on the track for 47 minutes!...

Whoa! Your car looks sick on the track! Jealous you got some track time.

Sweet ride... hit me up next time your at VIR... I’m there at least twice a month...

See you there...

Thanks guys, the car is finally at a point where it does exactly what I want it to on track. Really fun to drive.


Thanks and definitely. I think NASA is doing a 2-day event in October (Oktoberfest?). It’s an 8hr drive so I have to make em count. Plus the car still doesn’t like the heat even with all my cooling upgrades (it was over 92F on Monday). Puking power steering fluid now.... found the next cooling weak point, sigh.

Will give you a heads-up, would be great to meet up.

It’s raining at the VIR this morning.... hoping for some blue skies this afternoon... no 2:18s today...

Looking thru the raindrops at VIR - North Paddock this morning...
