What times are you guys running at Laguna Seca?
Is a 1:40 possible in a 914 with good tires and power to spare? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Andy |

I was pretty fast on Laguna in that 2.5 liter car - I cant claim that on other tracks. My little twin plug 2.5 was also a screamer with perfect gearing for Laguna Seca. Probably a lot lighter than those vitange spec cars as mine only weighhed 1750 lbs. My 2.5 was about as fast as a heavier 2.8 car at speed. Only disavantage I had was lack of grunt off slow speed turns. I had drag races down start finish with a nice 2.8 liter 914 and he could put a car length on me but my cars braking and turn speeds were far better and I could pass him and never see him again.
And tough to compare Riches times on old track to the new one. Think everyone agrees its much faster out there now. I think Albert C was running low 1:4X in his poorly prepared FP car when he was out there. That to me is amazing stuff! Take a look at spec miata record times on the new track surface. All of a sudden 1:41 doesnt look so fast! This post has been edited by grantsfo: Feb 5 2010, 07:12 PM |
