Cadwell on Saturday Weather permitted ( if nice ) Target time 1:43 This might be a bit ambitious but need a target to aim for

[SteveA]

Nah that's well achievable. I'm only 2 tenths off that and Cadwell has three or four good power straights so weather permitting you should have that.

[Danny Scarbro]

I will try and pop down on Saturday and say hello/watch as I'm only 15mins away.

 

I was there last Saturday and got down to a 1;47 with a passenger in the mk2 mx5 (dyno proven 87hp @ hubs)

sounds like the pressure is on to get a quicker time, 

feel quite apprehensive about cadwell it seem a monster of a track when  i was there in a NA

 

soon as this one is over i will be entering my first sprint, and with a bit of look it will be croft

1:43 in a vx seems to be a good lap time going by some of the videos ive been watching 

and think im going to keep this target time and see how it goes 

[Danny Scarbro]

Anything sub 1;50 at Cadwell is good, anything sub 1;45 is damn brilliant, and sub 1;40 you are a national treasure! 1;39 is my target this year, but will take some seat time to get it! Dan

[Zoobeef]

You need to set me a good target time for when I race there in July

I will do my best But If I'm being honest I'm not feeling confident

[SteveA]

Don't put too much pressure on yourself it will only stress you out. Just focus on getting a nice flow going and the lap times will come. One piece of advice for you if you have never driven Cadwell before, be careful how hard you attack the top of the mountain, with your level of power you could quite easily get all 4 wheels off the floor. If he is up for it, it Might be a good idea to sign Dan Scarbro up as a passenger as he is the quickest around there in a VX (excluding Cliffie Race Car). He should have some great pointers.

yeah car went very light there when i was a NA and i didnt go below a 1:50 

i was still on standard wheels and tires 

 

i actually think a 1:43 is still a fast time 

even cliffie in his time attack car only managed a 1:37 in 2013 and darron managed a 1:47 

[CHILL Gone DUTCH]

cliffies fastest top speed was 126 mph so will be interesting how fast mine goes considering his higher corner speeds

[SteveA]

1:43 is very quick, I just think you and your car are easily capable of that.

If you come bring your helmet, would love some pointers and special lines and track secrets
