I got a PB today day: 2:09.45 on street tires (NT05 ... lots of sliding around), almost went off a couple of times. My brakes were grinding bad on the way home ...... Got a feeling one pad may be gone thats why couldn't stop in session 4, will see tomorrow!!

Great seeing all our brothers from up north.

Barely beat out Frank and Joe who is trying to get that 1st place trophy cup from me in Super Stock.

Thanks everyone for coming. Please don't forget to support our sponsors so we can do this again next year

Here is the first session (you may have to wait a little Marc, it still processing.

I actually felt good running 2.09's and if I didn't hit those slow guys in the last few sessions could have shaved at least a second off

That Dan in front of me till he got board of watching me in his review ... then he took off

John, its a team effort by Dreamin, Tom B, Rob C and me

Glad you had a good time. look forward to seeing you at the next event.

Tell Anthony at LG that your GC is from the Corvette Challenge .... he didn't have time to send me anything official looking.

It looked like you could have caught up to Dan if you had wanted to, Glad I waited around to check out the event although its not as good as actually being there


You were putting the hammer down

Many thanks to all who helped organize the CC event...first time for me and had a blast. The weekend was a wake up call for me to address the fact I am directionally challenged. Not only did I end up on the wrong side of the parking lot from you guys, but I also found myself on the wrong side of the asphalt...aka in the gravel at "sunset".

irishjk

Great lap! Thanks for posting that...really helps us newbies with the lines!

irishjk

I can only hope to drive that well when I get to be your age

Thanks to all for putting these together. Although I have lots of track time, this was my first time trial. Some bad choices on tires followed by a cracked rotor limited my performance (and shortened my day).
Do you generally post results by group somewhere? I'd like to know how my meager 2.06 held up within super stock.

Magneson

Nice run, the track looks rough or is it the camera?

SIK02SS

Tell me about it. I ran a 2:01 on my 2nd lap still getting up to speed, the next 3 laps i hit traffic at the end of the laps screwing up my hot laps, by that point i was out of fuel and had to come in

still had a lot of fun though. Ran a 2:04 on the crappy R888s; great seeing everyone again

front straight's pretty bumpy

Yesterday was fun except for the heat

Thanks to Larkin and Rob for the delicious BBQ!

I was able to run a PB of 2:02.2 on session 2. Will edit/post my video in a couple days.

Howie, did you check your brake pads? It looked like there was plenty left before you went out for your last session.

MJM

Buttonwillow is the bumpiest track in SoCal, even worse than Tijuana!

Gary, you won 1st is SS. Great Job! The trophies were handed out at around 4:30.

Here's my video of Green 1 starting at the same point as Howie's.



I ran a PB of a 2:03 something a couple of laps into this footage.

In this one (from Green 2) I go out behind Howie to get some shots of his run.



In the second group the best I could do was a low 2:04.

Thanks, Howie. I enjoyed running together -- although I preferred to be in front.

solo2_z06

Holy S***! I was having so much trouble with grip and was way off my normal pace. After finding the corded tire, I wasn't sure the RA1s would be worth repairing the rotor to run any more.
Did anyone pick up my trophy?

frank dupuy

Howie! By C6 Ray's calculations your 2:09 beat my posted 2:09 by eight one thousand of a second. I also was saving my hot lap for the last session and when I checked the board and couldn't find any of my times I was very disappointed to say the least. I removed the timer from my car and took it back to the timers to have it checked and see what went wrong. They told me the timer had malfunctioned and was not recording my times for the whole session and there was no way to recover them. I asked what could have caused this and could it have been sabotage from someone who didn't want to have there 2:09 lap time bettered by an old man. Nobody had an answer for my lost lap times .
Other than the mysterious loss of my last session lap times my day was a complete sucess. My RPM Motors ( Corvette Challenge Sponsor) prepared C5-Z06 ran flawlessly, oil temp never went over 250 degrees and coolant temp never went over 210 on a very hot track day. And a big thanks to the lunch crew. The Corvette Challenge lunch spread would have made Wolfgang Puck proud.
