Not according to the published results. Evan Williams 2014 Mustang GT Pro STP 37.375. Mark's best time was 37.958

Getting the BFG's to work when grip is low can be tricky. I'm still working on it.

Chris was the only stp mustang that I saw there, don't know where the other one came from and the stp class ran with us so I could have missed him. If that was a true time in that car on street tires, he is one hell of a driver.

It was definitely one of the slickest lots I have run on in a long time. It felt like sandy asphalt but there was no sand. Probably a good chance that we had the tire pressures too high.

I tried some adjustments and totally went in the wrong direction, which isn't something I typically do.

At Bristol when the BFG's finally got warm, I needed about 40psi to keep them from rolling over too far. If I used that pressure at Pelli, I think it be like driving on ice. I was running about 30/27psi front/rear at the last Pelli event and I'm not sure that was low enough. But it was also fairly cold.

One thing for sure, ETR may be a small region, but after being at several other regional events, we by far run an event way better than most all other clubs.

I like how we have the events close to where we live, too!
