One of the reasons I contemplated picking up the wife's car is I was hoping I could see this beast in person. Looks awesome.
Did you ever get the display issue worked out?

Had the car out for a local Porsche Club event this last weekend at Heartland Park.
Ran incredibly well. Still have a few tuning bugs to workout with the paddle shifts, but overall it did well. Went 1.7 seconds faster than the fastest SCCA record (held by a Van Diemen RF01-2) and 2.3 seconds faster than the NASA record held by a hopped up C7 Z06.
I didn't get many clean laps because of lap traffic. In that situation I'm super appreciative of the Garmin Catalyst's ability to capture segment/sector times and combine them to make an Optimal lap. My Optimal lap was about 7 tenths faster than my fastest lap.
Fastest lap: 1:37.510
Optimal lap: 1:36.841. (Lost video on segment 7 because I hit the rumble strips and the Catalyst disconnected briefly from power. I ordered the Catalyst cage mount to prevent that from happening again.)
Looks like a good time, thanks for posting the vids.

A weekend at the track was still better than a weekend working. I'm getting the point now where I need to decide if I'll be satisfied just going faster...or if I need/want to win. Probably a $50k question. I'm confident that even an additional 200rwhp, I would've won.
Top of a slippery slope there, to go "pocketbook" racing in an unlimited class. Do you fit into any regulated classes for the type of racing you like to do? Or are you really stuck in the unlimited classes?
Dumb drag race guy question but nitrous for the straights and off with that big V10 for the rest of the track?
Nice time improvement!

Got it. I got lucky for my racing career, I was in a spec class. Tougher to out spend the other guy. Down side, sure dont have the straight line speed you do, and can understand the allure (Ive tracked some high HP cars).Basically, I'm stuck in Unlimited. Most organizations (NASA, SCCA) I'm stuck because of power: weight. Gridlife I'm stuck unless I could find some 100 treadwear tires that wouldn't kill me... and I'd have to get smaller aero.
