Re: 1965 Corvette Coupe B Production Vintage Race car
Yes, turning 2:12 is pretty fast. They toss in the additional kink at the end of the carousel that has to add about five seconds to the lap time. Anyone know the top end they hit on front or back straight, I would imagine about 170 to 180. Amazing how they are on the rear tire only though much of their acceleration.

Re: 1965 Corvette Coupe B Production Vintage Race car
Not bad for about 200hp and two wheels.
I would say that is a very good estimate. A few years ago some "car guy" hooked up a radar, at brake marker number 5 on the back straight going into turn 5. I was clocked at 163mph and was still at WOT till BM#3. That was the fastest part of the track for our class. Wild ride going from the fastest part of the track then immediately into the slowest corner.

Last time there I was geared way to tall but according to my wheel speed sensor through the Motec ECU I was doing 176 on the main straight
