M2 stage 2, koni/GC, Tri point front swaybar, M2 Toe links, Fluidyne rad. stock wheels, hoosiers. M2 roll bar, light flywheel and a short shifter.

That's about it.

Holy Cow! That is super fast. I ran a World Challenge Cobra R Mustang there in 2000 on 18 inch Dunlop slicks and only got down to a 1:59 +. Granted that was with only (!) 450 horses and 3200 lbs. I think Randy Pobst only turned a 1:54 in a GT2 Porsche that weekend. Way to go. What mods are done to your car and did you use the corkscrew or the bypass?

Corkscrew..........and thanks. It seemed fast at the time.
First hot lap was a 2:05.1 and then the 2:04.8

and I forgot to mention the stainless brake lines and HP+ pads.

Cool. I'll have to make it to that track someday.

The only track I've done in my RX7 so far is Spring Mountain in Pahrump Nevada. I ran a 1:52.8

Anyone else raced there?

Yeah, I'm sorry I didn't let you know I couldn't make it....my mechanic has fucked me over with a $900 bill for 2 hours of labor (changing out subframe). It should all be sorted out soon hopefully. Let me know when the next event is and I'll BE SURE to be there this time! Again, sorry I couldn't make it

Looking forward to meeting you next time!
