1:55 at Palmer is a great lap! Nice work.

Thanks! Took almost 2 seconds off my prior best. Gorgeous day (leaves in full color) as well. Cup 2's were a contributing factor vs. PS4s's prior, as well as getting to know the track better. TireRack had a sale on 225's so they were not much more than the PS4's

And thanks much for the thread! This is excellent.

Checked with the head of SCDA, and he said the best they could determine is that the times at Palmer CW and CCW are very similar. Car/driver differences may effect things of course, but overall very similar times.

Sorry about re-post. I didn't remember how to imbed the video. Here is my 1:55.7 lap at Palmer. The STi started the day a bit faster than I did, but I eventually caught up to his times as the day progressed.
