Bryan, the fastest race lap of the weekend was a 1:23.9xx by B. Curtis in Race 1 on stickers. I was pleasantly surprised my best lap of the weekend was only a 1/2 second off the fastest lap considering it was on the 15th heat cycle on my tires and I am historically not as fast at Cresson. I personally have never in my life run a lap in the 23's in my car.
Also, John had the overall fastest lap of the weekend in Sunday qualifying with a 1:23.134 and I think his RR's were around heat cycle 10.

I think those times show the RR holds up maybe better than expected.

I was very impressed with the speed out of the Falken's. I didn't think they would be close to the same lap times as the RR and R4 showed they were no more than 1 second slower.

I discussed with some of you this weekend, I've gotten administrator priviliges to the NASA Camaro Mustang Challenge FBook page so am going to start trying to create more content than has been coming out of there in recent history. Can you guys upload your R1 videos to Google Drive this week and share with me. PM me if you need my email address. I want to cut them together and see if I could create a cool 3-5min summary of the race for the interwebs that would be exciting and not 20+ mins long and flash between the different cars. (Attention spans are short, mkay?). Also, go like and follow the NASA Camaro Mustang Challege facebook page for obvious reasons -- I'll be creating an event summary shortly with photos (Thanks to those of you that already put them out on bookface) and results/commentary on what happened over the weekend.

I posted a grid walk on there Saturday and it got lots of views and shares -- all will help us grow the class.

As I am not racing yet. If there is anyway I can help with pics or vids let me know how I can help.

My fast lap times for each race were:
Race 1 - 1:25.129, was on heat cycle #11 (car was pushing very bad)
Race 2 - 1:24.565, was on heat cycle #12 (made three different adjustments and handling was much better)
Race 3 - 1:25.289, was on heat cycle #14 (was pushing again as RF tire was almost bald)
Race 4 - 1:24.421, was on heat cycle #15 (swapped LF to RF and had much better grip)

I was surprised to see my fast lap of the weekend come in the last session but I was making adjustments throughout the whole event. 3 of my 4 tires are almost bald and will probably not see the track again. This was the fewest heat cycles I have ever gone through a set of tires but they did have some long races with Nationals, Houston, and Cresson.

My fast lap times for each race were:
Race 1 - 1:25.129, was on heat cycle #11 - Temp 72, pressure 29.1 (green track after overnight rain)
Race 2 - 1:24.565, was on heat cycle #12 - Temp 57, pressure 29.1
Race 3 - 1:25.289, was on heat cycle #14 - Temp 52, pressure 29.3 (intermittent light spitting rain)
Race 4 - 1:24.421, was on heat cycle #15 - Temp 53, pressure 29.4

I was surprised to see my fast lap of the weekend come in the last session but I was making adjustments throughout the whole event.

The best conditions of the weekend were also in race four. So many variables to account for. The big question is what your lap times would have been with fresher rubber? I would love to see that data that doesn't (and effectively can't) exist.
