Looks like the timing has been posted on the Redline Track Events Website.
Out of the 21 laps recorded and posted I see one instance of Jan having a lap time lower than 1:30 with a time of 1:29.746....

 

oh well guess that means it doesn't count... neeeeext!

so how many laps does it take to be official

 

SPF had 3 under 1:30 in the session #2, 3 more in session #3, and 3 more in session #4.

Damn you, Jan, for being so deceptive!

 

last I checked Jan was a drag racer not a road course pro. He seems to be getting better all the time tho. It will be interesting to see what happens when is driving skill matches the quality of his parts. :P

 

I think astrochex was being sarcastic to Vimes
as Paul was there watching it with his own eyes

it's amazing that Vimes would sit and hit refresh for a week on the Redline site just to see what we told him ...... HAPPENED!

last time I checked, 1 lap sub 1:30 is still ONE more lap than your TURBO RACE CAR DID WITH A WORLD CHALLENGE DRIVER

my second time out I ran 1:30 which is still better than your race car ......

 

Unpossible.

The way Jan is flying around the country doing tunes, there should be no reason for anybody who doubts the quality of his tune and parts cannot just go see for themselves.

 

Just keep telling yourself that's what I did, you'll be happier that way.

I don't have a turbo car.
I don't claim to be a driving phenomenon that beat a "record" of a driver who has driven in the World Challenge.
I don't claim to have ever beaten a record that doesn't seem to be recorded anywhere.

 

maybe you can show me where I said I was a "driving phenomenon?

btw.... so what hp is your car at now that you fixed the slipping clutch?
I guess it wasn't worth posting....

 

I was being sarcastic for those that could not tell.

Now that the "official" numbers are posted, isn't it silly that there is still a debate going on about RMW cars going under 1:30?

 

so at what point is a record a record... I mean do we need it published in a book or something... does that mean that when Hubie ran a 10 in the MINI USA drag car that it wasnt a record... meaning I wasted all that blood, sweat and tears with him building that car?..

 

I'm sure the usual crowd will blame sunspots....

 

Thats because Road Racers suck and autocrossers rule. Just kidding... I guess I have been in the wrong forum all these years. lol Anyway, I am currently working down in San Diego, if you guys have a track day at the streets in Jan/Feb, I'd like to join you, but, the Mini is back in KC, I only have the Miata out here, so, not sure if that would work, I wouldn't want to pass all you guys in a non-Mini. lol J/K again.

 

I think it was because it was "YOUR" old wheels and tires

they work great

 

here's an interesting find... the porsche owners club willow record... I dunno how they have a record since this guy only makes one lap... but ... I am assuming it's magic...


POC record 1:31:497

 

The (slow) 996 was going counterclockwise. The MINI magic laps were clockwise.

 

ha ha yes! which means that it accually has an easier drive... from what I understand clock wise is slower.. up hill or something.... maybe something magical happens... warp hole or something

 

Paul,

I went 1:30 that way and my car was not even tuned yet....
I was shifting at 5400rpm

 

Or you could look a little past the videos on the site to the events section where they have listed a bunch of lap records for Streets of Willow in both clockwise and counter-clockwise directions. If you did you would see a record of 1:10.241 for clockwise and 1:09.380 for counter-clockwise.

 

Interesting, the POC times are for Configuration 1. Config 1 leaves the bowl off. Thats a nice chunk of track missing.

If you want to compare please use the same configuration of the same track.

You will note that POC does state a record time of 1:31:497 when using the bowl. Thats the video linked above.

 

holy poop batman someone is paying attention

 

That statement differs from what is posted on the POC website. They have a image of the track layout they use that includes the bowl. That layout is the same one that rustyboy marked up earlier to indicate the configuration used on the day they were there.

 

you try so hard yet fail so easily to misinform

 

It's funny how the non-believers keep up a fight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Get them pedal's ordered. Must be worth a few seconds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I know... they have to be worth another magical second or two
it amazes me that with all of the proof, some just don't believe because THEY CAN'T DO IT

 

Amen Brother!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
