    I entered to run the 341 Challenge in June. Anyone else here going?

    I know that Amir will have his F40 and another local guy will driving his Scuderia. I'm hoping there will be a larger Ferrari presence.

    My first year for this event and now in the 3:41 club. My best time with my California was a 3:40.142. Average speed was 85.04 mph. I'll post some video later this week.

    That's very fast for your first time on the hill. Now that you are hooked, will you be coming to the FCA sponsored event Sept. 17-18?

    1st time for the Spectre 341. I've been running in the FCA event since 2004.

    Haven't you run a 3:37 or 3:35 in your old F430?

    I was up there for a bit but, I had to split.

    3:36 in my F430. The California has less HP and is 600 lbs. heavier than the F430.

    Congrats, Mike! Looked like a real fun time. But is it at all scary without any guardrails?

    I know that :). I just wanted to know the time differential between the cars. The California is quite a good piece of kit for nearly keeping up with the F430. I very much enjoyed driving my buddies California. Are you using the stock tire compound? I know your running more tire than stock, but I'm wondering if the compound is the same?
