What are the typical lap times in the different run groups (green, blue, white, black, red) for PCA HPDE's at Summit Point Main?

Hmmm, pretty sure it is not group-dependent. There are supercars in Green that can run in low/ mid-20s with brand new drivers that have no clue what they are doing.

It is not based on lap times, it is the driver's ability. If as a driver in a low horse power with good situational awareness is fine in upper groups. Run groups are based on driver, not the cars ability

Black in a 912 1:29 Red in a stripped out air cool 911 1:18 Day one Green in the same 912 many years earlier 1:56 YMMV The cars are overall much faster and the track is faster too.

Was in Black for years. Had a sore left arm some days from pointing over the roof but had fun too, just not on the straight parts. I picked up a book and propped my knee on the wheel for the straights.

But if you got passed by that 912, and tried to follow it around the track you'd learn a lot about driving! I had that experience when Kurt (an instructor) took it out in Blue when I was relatively new. Thanks, Kurt.

I can’t spel and even a 912 is too fast for me and that.

I'm spending the time between 10 and 1 trying to make my AIM Solo talk to my Camera... Don't worry - hands free, I have a holder for my cell phone while I'm on hold with tech support.

I recall forever ago - early 90's, there was a guy with a 914 at SP, and he had rigged up some kind of mannequin arm pointing over the roof. Couldn't take it on track (Pre-Lemons days), but it was kind of funny in the paddock.

In a stock 914, plenty of time to flip through your cassettes on the straights
