ZL1 at Thunderhill Raceway yesterday

Took my car out to Thunderhill Raceway this weekend as I finally have enough break-in miles on her. I would say that this car kinda hauls ass.

I won't bore you with the whole session but here is my fastest lap. Put down a 2.04 which I think is pretty solid. I'm not familiar with the track so perhaps someone else can chime in on typical times. I know that in the Chrono Series race the fast Porsche put down a 2:02 and his car was a full blown race car. Not bad for a bone stock Camaro off the showroom floor with a lap belt
I'm pretty confident that with some more familiarization with the track and car that we can put down a 2 flat. Just need to get to know the lines. We ran bypass and then added cyclone. This video is with Cyclone.

How do I embed video, dammit!

MAY 2017 UPDATE: Rather than clutter up the thread with new posts of the same track I will just update this one as I inch closer towards the elusive 2:00:00 mark. Ran this same track and configuration yesterday and consistently bested my previous time. I ran very consistent 2:03's and sometimes down to the 2:02's. My best, very surprisingly came late in the day at 80 degrees in my last session. This is a testament to the Cup2's, at least when they're new. My new Personal Best: 2:02:106 So very close to the 2:01 I was shooting for this time out. I know there is time to be made up to the tune of seconds. I was not driving very well in these two laps as I missed my marks several times and battled a loose booty. I probably should not have been pushing since it was the last session and I was tiring, but most people had gone home and the track just came at me a little easier this session. Hope it is useful.
