    When I was sitting in the box trying to warm up, I over-heard two gentlemen over the radios indicating that only the black 350z and the blue 350z be timed as it "appears" that they are running the fastest of that session.

    Don't take this as an insult, I'm only giving you my view on yesterday's event.

    LOL I love this, would you like full disclosure on why my last session was faster because I can give you the full break down.

    1. Thats not my car

    2. My first session in that car was the first time I have ever driven an 08 STI

    3. I probably have between 20 and 30 days on little tally.

    4. I adjusted my driving style and line to suit the problems that the car had ( I altered my line to prevent the inside wheel spin that we were having because of the suspension setup and massive grip the car has)

    5. Before I went out for that session Doug said..."Its a lot more fun to win"

    6. I'm that good

    7. The car will go 1:04.9 with the exact setup thats on there I just need more time in the car.


    Hugs and Kisses
    Matt

    P.S. Topspeeds Racecar goes 57 seconds around that track.

    Edit...My second fastest lap was good enough to win the event

    Someone appears to be a little cocky I see. I was only pointing out that I don't believe the times to be correct for anyone.

    The times were equally off for everyone if they were off.

    Cocky, not really cocky just good

    fixed. You didn't accomplish a 1.05 lap time, your driver did. Therefore, your car is capable of those "so called accurate" lap times. Regardless of what you say, I beg to differ on how accurate the lap times actually were. Last time I had checked, the black Z33 the krypton green Exige S and the CLK Black Series were the fastest of the day and they were running 1.08's. For you to run a full 3 secs faster makes it hard to believe considering the drivers of the three cars I mentioned above had very good drivers behind the wheel as well.

    Are you just trying to get your hater merit badge. My driver was me dumb ass, it was Dougs car...he let me borrow it. You must not be able to read very well, I only drove the car a total of 17 laps yesterday, 10 the second session where the tower said I went 1:09...which is probably right I was being pretty conservative since we had to drive it back. Then I drove it 6 or 7 laps in the final session at which point Doug told me he wanted to win. I went 1:05.4 on my 3rd lap, with my second slowest time 1:06.1 still would have won the event.

    I'm not really sure what your problem is or why you have such a hard time beliving that we ran that fast...and we did it on street tires, god knows we would have been atleat 1.5 maybe two seconds faster on Hoosiers.

    If you want to put some cash on the line I've got 1000 dollars that says I can run a 1:04 in that car.

    Edit.
    The drivers of those cars were very good and this is in no way taking away from them, they all ran very respectable lap times. But what you don't understand is, I put over 20k miles on a 06 STi last year, I know how to drive, I'm not a Pro but I'm pretty good.

    i was the one clocking him in the last section each car had at least one person timing them. if anyone video the run you could varify it from there. now everyone stfu.

    also if it was such a big deal about timing from the event everyone was free to go up in the booth and time who ever the fuck they want. or more importantly get someone to time them. fuck this is stupid.
