Willow Springs International Raceway "The Fastest Road in the West" , and a track that consistently scares the shit out of me, but for some strange reason I keep coming back to try and master its difficulties. This weekend I participated in the GR Movement Street Class with the 86 with one goal, finally go faster than a 1:39. I had a wonderful time pushing the car any myself to a new limit!

There was some stiff Gen 2 86/BRZ competition in street class but I was able to pull together a decent flyer towards the end of the day which is this lap with data. I would normally have some in car footage with the data overlay but unfortunately this bright guy left the damn gopro sd card at home 😒. There is more room for improvement I think a 1:35 or even a 1:34 is possible with this car, just might have to come back when its not scorching hot outside.

Same mods as my previous videos.

Looking forward to the next GR Movement event at Buttonwillow, hopefully I go sub2 this time ?
