Is this M2 fast? How's 9th quickest?

Fastest lap of the day came from this 1000-horsepower Shelby. How fast? It broke the splitter fast.
Some of our guests from the Classic Motorsports Road Tour stopped by to learn about Time Trials and the SCCA.

Speed Kills
Just some light work going on.
Guess how many running Miatas we have now....
Well that's not supposed to be there. 
We’ll be going live from our Facebook page at 9:30am CST this morning to walk the entire paddock to check out all of the cars and drivers. Tune in and say hi!

Good morning from the drivers meeting where we find out the top 20 cars who raced their way into the UTCC. 
Goodie bags and sticker are being handed out for the Ultimate Track Car Challenge! 
In grid for track sprint 
J.A. getting some driver interviews.

good to see LMP360 poking out from the back of the grid there
Dan and Andy in the same photo?
GK is blowing decals off his prototype.
Any Mopar fans? How about a 1970s Dodge Challenger ... on gen 2 Viper chassis ... with a Hellcat engine.
Supra discussion.
And the day begins with the drivers meeting.
The first UTCC session is on grid.
Your current leader, with a 2:02.759 lap. The driver says that broke a production car record at the track - which was his goal.
Justin Peachey - second fastest so far - 2:04.768 lap ... on 200tw tires ... with naturally aspirated engine.
Correction: GK is the leader with this car powered by a Suzuki engine. 2:02.638

Twinsies!!
My 94 Miata had a similar aftermarket advantage...except on both sides where piston #3 used to be
ironically, it happened at the after thanksgiving trackday at the FIRM last year...pretty sure JG was there when it happened
This was a great event. NCM is a top notch facility with a very fun to drive track. Tons of interesting cars and builds with great people to hang out and talk with.
The LMP360 managed to run every session over 4 days and get back on the trailer in 1 piece with no failures. That's a huge win for a car like this. At a PB of 2:22.378 the lap times were not as competitive as I hoped but not to bad for a estimated 116whp from the EJ251.
I even managed to come home with some hardware with a attrition assisted P2 in U2 for the SCCA Time Trial Nationals. I will be back next year with more HP and other improvements.
Lyle Zyra running 2:16s in a GR86 that just has coilovers, headers and a tune (which in a NA 4 cylinder isn't doing much) on 200TW, speaks more to the man than the machine. He's definitely one of the fastest drivers in the country.
