View Full Version : Fastest ITS Lap Time at VIR?

I'm going up for my first race at VIR this weekend. Obviously, I'll be SLOW! But, I was wondering what the fastest laptime for an ITS car is at VIR and what was it set in? And, how close is the next closest car?

I've driven the track before in BMW school but I've never driven a ITS car there in a race of course. What will a well prepped Z car run up there, and, is one competitive for class wins there (ours will be neither!)?

Thanks much,
Ron

I'm pretty sure James Clay ran a time under Chet's time during qualifying for a BMW CCA race at VIR in an ITS legal car (Seth Thomas' old car).

Dang that is fast!

Didn't he have a Z car too, at sometime?

What could the Z do there at VIR? Sorry, new to trying to find these laptime and so far I've found it not that easy!

I think Chet Wittel ran a 2:15-16 at VIR (Katman?) in teh Z. I know David Spillman has run 2:16 or 2:17, and Steve Parrish got a 2:18 the last time out at the CCPS.

Those are all well driven 240zs, not a big fat pig with ugly carbs and two shitty drivers, like our car.
