Nice!

I do know that feeling, rising temps normally cost me a second, or even two. I don't always use my fastest lap as a reference for next time.

Thank you! All results since 2017 added to the main post. Sorry about that, hard to believe it's been almost 2 years since the last update. I haven't run at all this year, so live vicariously through your posts.

Looks like I never shared my SoW CCW time from last year. That was my first (and so far only) time there and had a blast.

Streets of Willow CCW - 1:27.64 -- blu3dragon -- RX-8 S1, estimated at 185rwhp and 3000lbs w/driver. S2 transmission & Diff. Race seat, harness & roll bar. APR wing & DIY splitter, Fatcat coilovers, Toyo RA1 255/40/17 tires (previously used as wets).


Now that I've seen RE-Vision's lap,I need more practice, more camber, and maybe CW is faster? :-D

RE-Vision

yes my setup doesn't work at all i've been told by many people

RE-Vision

CCW is supposed to be faster. We'll see, I'm going to do that config next month.

well I’d make a few different choices and cut another 80 lbs off, but overall am fairly impressed with your car. Definitely put you up in the upper elite category as far as STX RX8s that I’ve seen over the years. That’s about a handful or so.

Oh, nice!

RE-Vision

Hit Buttonwillow CW13 this weekend. First time at this track in 4 or 5 years and the last time was just one lap in my Elantra, safe to say it's basically new to me. Got a 2:02.3, lots of little and one very big mistake to fix next time, pretty sure 2 flat or faster is achievable.

RE-Vision

2:04.09 at Chuckwalla CW on Saturday. Will upload video when I can.

Here is a 1:38.1 at Gingerman
Stock engine. 315 A7s. Lot of downforce and weight reduction.

that’s smokin’ compared to the other times posted for there

gotta watch those rev limiter hits though edit: maybe you’re on the gas still when the clutch pedal is going in instead?

hufflepuff

have you measured tires temps with a pyrometer? i feel like 315 width hoosiers would take a while to get to temp.

TeamRX8

iTrader: (25)

that’s a good thing with the A7 compound, downforce and those cornering speeds are going to warm them right up imo
