haha   wow.      But none the less, your time is freakin awesome.

When it comes to the GTR, thats ridiculously quick for a car with a body.  Its seems that you really need to strip a car down to compete with the bikes of today.

Or give it a killer AWD system   ;D

Do some more aero and crank up a couple of psi and kick some nintendo a$$!

How did your body roll measure with that fabrication you were doing? Nice day for a drive hey.

I assume the R35 was on Hoosier autox compound (A6) tires.  They don't last many laps as they overheat quickly but will out-grip traditional slicks.   Most of the time-attack records at MRP have all gone to cars on Hoosier A6s.   They normally wait for a break in the traffic an then attempt to lay down their 4 fast laps.  I heard from SCCBC that some of the lapping day guys have started to follow this tactic.

Anyway, fantastic time Lowell!

Nice lap.
What's it normally cost to attend one of these?
How strict is tech?

$245+hst for this one.  Tech is the same as autox.  Lugnuts tight, battery tie down, no loose objects, good tires, brake pads, seat belts work, helmet has current rating.
