What is a fast time at NJMP Thunderbolt?
I looked under the time trials sections of SCCA, NASA, EMRA, but their different classification systems make it hard to understand what is fast in a Corvette.
Anyone know what a fast time is on Thunderbolt?

AJ did a 26.6 in a C5 T-1, sachs shocks, 20 race old engined car last week in a three lap warmup. Probably another second or so quicker given a few more laps to dial it in. With fresh Hoosier A6 tires, could easily get to 24's...
No Chicane.
Rolex GT car did high 20's last August on Pirelli slicks...

damn, 24's.
Last time I was @ thunderbolt for an EMRA TT I got an unofficial time of 1:42 during the practice sessions, didn't stay for the actual TT though. That was with the chicane. I def. had more time on the table, that wasn't even pushing the car hard.

I ran yesterday with the chicane and was running mid to low 30's. That is about as much as I can get. The chicane takes out quite a bit of speed. Once I get my GPS app up and running will have to see what I run without the chicane. It is hard to tell from all the website in the different series what times are with and without chicane.
