All that work racing out a SS to basically match a stock-ish ZLE and I'm honestly not a great driver. Good, yes, but not great. Yoskin is a way better driver than I am. He is super fast at NJMP Lightning. I don't go so great there but it has more to do with the driver and not the car itself. He had cars on track with him which surely contributed to his time, but what you can't see in my video is that my 3Rs were severely corded at this point. The 1:29.24 that I ran was done on these tires:
I'm not sure Nick's video is a good representation of what the car is capable at Thunderbolt...And, while a 29 is commendable, I don't think it is all that fast there, based on what I have researched.
