Has anyone taken lap times ( official or not ) at Waterford or Gingerman in SF ? I'm looking at the Multimatic suspension and similar SF mods to my 05 ST and run at those tracks so I would like an idea of times to compare to my other cars.

It looks like NASA doesn't run there.

waterford is my home track and i run in the 1.23s. Leo Capaldi has raced out there also. I'm sure his times are much better than mine.

That wasn't a NASA event right?

**68 Touring Car** · 09-20-2007, 07:16 AM

Craig has run some 121 times at Waterford and we tested at Gingerman in SF and did 139's all at non NASA days

**Zeitgeist** · 09-20-2007, 07:40 AM

Thanks thats what I was looking for. I used to run a Spec Neon at Waterford and was running 1:22's at Gingerman it was trackdays in a multitude of different cars but my best time was a 1:41 in a WRX. I would be happy that the SF set up is very similar.

**lapp** · 10-14-2007, 11:38 PM

Buttonwillow #13 CW 2:14.xxx Zetec 135WHP dynoed on site by 7s Only Racing

**brads03zx3** · 10-15-2007, 01:14 AM

Very nice!!! I was watching lapp run this weekend. I'm very excited to see a SF in Cali...We'll have to keep an eye on him next season

**InFocusTraSTi** · 10-18-2007, 04:27 PM

Waterford Hills. I did about 1:20 with my white STI... (First and only time in that track or any track) And I loved it. Cool track. That event i remember seing the red Spec Focus but back then I didn't know what it was.

**lapp** · 04-28-2008, 03:26 PM

Yeah, I guess it took some work. They had to go to Auto Zone to pick up some break pads, because their Projective sponsor didn't show up like he said he would with pads… Oppppps

Edit-
The Sponsor with the Brake Pads DIDN'T show up. I'm sure it cost the Lapp's a set of rotors.

**ClintB1321** · 04-28-2008, 08:36 PM

i cant wait to get into a spec car, hopefully some time soon ill have my name on some of those times

**TfnG** · 04-28-2008, 10:05 PM

i no i have a record at gateway from this past weekend!!! just gotta find out what my 2nd fastest lap was in sunday's race...the fastest was a 1:07 in which i blew turn 1 and had to take a little short cut. the actual time will be something like 1:14.5 area.

This was no ones fault but mine. I brought the car out to the track, not prepared properly. I thought the brakes would be fine, I was wrong. We used our back-up pads on Spec Focus #2 only 2 days earlier. I just underestimated the beating the brakes would take in a 3 hour enduro. You can bet that this will not happen again.

It was "interesting" seeing the sparks coming from the left front wheel by the end of the race. I don't ever want to see that again.

After 1:20 of the race, Ryan radioed that he had lost power steering. He ran for another 10 minutes and pulled in for the driver change and refueling. What had happened was an “AN” fitting had broken in half. There was no fixing that during the race. Ted then drove for a while but pulled back into the pits, exhausted. Ryan then got back in the car and was able to finish the race. We finished 4th in our class (a class of 12).

Overall it was a fun race. Todd and Mike were a great help. Laura and Ted, which are there with us every race, were, as usual, a great help. I was practically able to just watch and enjoy the race.

By Sunday morning, all was fixed and back on the track for qualifying and the race.

The race fielded 24 cars. Ryan was in the 22nd position. At the start of the race, Ryan was boxed out and the 2 cars behind him passed him before turn 1. By the end of the race, he had passed 11 cars and finished in 12th place overall. It was exciting watching him pass 11 cars in one race.

Thanks again to Todd, Mike, Laura and Ted.

**brads03zx3** · 04-29-2008, 01:19 AM

And he passed one of those cars several times

Do you know what time it is? I have a 1:14.799 you did in Qualifying. I'll put that down for now.
