I'm not in T1 but I have video from my 96 out there, I also have a few friends with video in there Z06's. Most of the laps are in the 2.40 - 2.42 range. Let me know if that's good enough

Thanks for the reply. I have some of my own video from RA as well. Really wanted to see some T1 video for comparison purposes.

AUNEGL,
I was't able to see the video. I don't have the right program or something. But did our car win?

I guess the 2.31 video would be your best bet, 2005 T1 Pole was a 2.28.xx so the 2.31 would be closer to what they would run during the race. I'm hoping to break into the 2.3X.xx this year. With a little help from Randy at least the car will run cooler and stop better.

Randy that IS ONE OF my favorite videos. Not a race but a great HPDE 17 min video. I think the guy in your prepard car was taking it easy and just dring the the other vett, but they were passing everything else on the track.

It is a Windows media file.

I grew up in Wisc. and went too Road America to watching SCCA, Trans-Am and Can-AM races in the 60s and 70s. That track is on my TO DO list, even though it is a two day drive from North Carolina there.

I think that DRM vette had a 427 in it. Then there is the other video where the Porsche GT2 car pulls away from the DRM 427 vette

Yep. I actually have Dave Farmer's video from several races copied onto DVD if you're interested. That's one track I did a long time ago, but didn't record it at the time. Rats!! The DVD is very clear though and has some good racing action. Give a shout any time!

T1 pole for the 2005 June Sprints (RA) was a smoking 2.24.9 set by Lance Knupp. The race laps of the fast guys ($$$$) were in the 2.28 range.

My bad I was looking at the practice speeds. 2.24.xx that's smoking.
