I was exiting oak tree in 3rd between 35 and 40.  By the time I got to the braking zone at the end, the SHO was a good 125.  I limited myself to third around osk tree because second would just spin.  I did not want to blow a diff pin that far from home.  With a Quaife and track rubber, I could exit at 45 in second and maybe need O/D by the end of the straight.

The front stretch and back stretch are both good for 120+.  The only difference is the curves that lead into them.

Care to schedule a track day for next year?

That's pretty long, for an N/A SHO to run out of 4th gear.
