RAL at NHMS?

[Andy Bettencourt]

my new goal in life is to be faster than Andy at LRP... I think he may be the fastest IT mazda ever around that track. Unless Nick or someone was a tad quicker and I just didn't know that...

No, they have had the ITS RX-7's in the 1:00.2 range in testing, that day I managed a 1:00.6 in a session in Steve's car before he sold it. Officially, I have only gone 1:00.8 in the ITA car. My goal in the ITR S2000 would be a 59.9 for sure. You guys should get to that in the RX-8's with some development.

I got a 59.8 this spring at the SCDA HPDE day. My car is fast at LRP for about 12 laps and then I roast off the tires. I always overdrive it there...:-(

PS - Rob Nimkoff has been mid- 59's. My money is he will be the first IT driver to break the one minute barrier - nobody has done it in a race yet, correct?

Not that I know of. ITR record in the mid-low 59's sounds right when we all get there!

No, not me. That was just me trying to sugar coat the fact that the ITR record should already be there! Tough in a race though. People say the track is getting slower too now that the surface is smoother.

I bet we see it broken at the NARRC if the weather cooperates. My motor is sick - got four laps today so I doubt any racing the rest of the year unless I'm lucky...and not been lucky lately! :-(
