We have 2-2.5 hours of run time in open groups give or take. It takes over 2 fifteen gallon tanks of gas to run my car for those 3 hours. Nothing efficient about a LS1 motor running 3000-5500 rpm for 2.5 hours... but it sure is fast and fun. And with a little luck and a little more skill the priceless look of a 911 Turbo drivers face makes it all worth while when they realize who they just gave the pass signal to. (You go faster when you have experience and your car is paid for
) Not like they can do a whole lot at the top of 4 at Watkins when youre gaining on them with a 30mph + advantage.
But all seriousness... go slow to go fast
I went from a 2 day best of 2:44 on my first trip to a 2:27 on the most recent, same car, same conditions (before my brakes bit the dust). Hopefully next trip I will be faster... still not fast enough. Need more brakes... the car just wants to go go go
