  • After 14 years, I'm still finding time at this track, but it's not getting any easier. Since my previous best 1:27.04, I've switched from Bilstein rear shocks to Öhlins that were valved by Hayden Burvill at Wevo. The new shocks are adjustable, and I hope to get even more time out of them with a little more testing.
    This was a Friday morning, and it wasn't as cold as I would have liked it to be. There were also 25-mph gusts of wind coming in from the west, which meant I was 4-5 mph slower on the front straight, but only 1 mph faster at the end of turn 8.
    The car is a 1972 Porsche 911. It has a bone stock engine from a 1995 911, putting out 272 hp at the crank. I'm on a set of Nitto NT01 tires that I've been using for both the street and the track for almost a year now.
    The reason my car gets around so quickly is an assortment of suspension ideas by Tyson Schmidt, who is the race tech for Hergesheimer Motorsports and found some ways to make my car's 1960s Volkswagen technology get through corners like nobody's business.

    Wow! I was impressed with Motor Trend's professional driver running a 1:27 in a 2015 GT3. He was approaching turns at around 145mph but would slow down to around 85mph in the turns. You were doing about 125mph and 105mph around the turns. It's amazing what your 72 911 can do!

      Thanks. I made a side-by-side comparison with the GT3.

    Outstanding run with some very high corner speeds. The motor loved the cool air. What could you do on slicks?

    Beautiful. I ran at SOW with 6 year old NT01's.
    Dumbest thing I have ever done.
    Porsche should sponser you with a 14' 911 GT3!
