Turned a 1:04.75 today at Firebird West. I may have done better than that - not sure - I only had someone timing me for a couple laps during 1 one of 5 sessions, so pretty sure he didn't get my best. In any event, course records are below. I am a few seconds off the pace for the course record for my "TTS" class. My car is still 300 pounds over weight (or underpowered) relative to my class limit, so I'm running a lot more like a "TTA" car right now. I also think I can pick up a few tenths with SRM - for some reasons my brass balls factor goes up when I use it. I'm overall happy with the result. Today was just a Porsche Club DE, will do this "for real" next weekend when the people you see listed below will all be lined up to compete!

Will post more thoughts later tonight on remaining mechanical issues to be sorted. Sorry, no vid today.

thanks but not just yet, Mr Zless... the 104 target applies to Phoenix Intl Raceway... add 4-6 seconds for typical spread between the two... For a track record, I likely still have 4-6 seconds to make up at PIR and 2-3 seconds at Firebird.... very long journey ahead!
