I also made it into the 1:48's, which for my mods, I feel is fairly decent. Mainly helped that I got faster through Turn 7 and picked up 5mph down the back straight.
I will probably not be at the Thanksgiving weekend event due to travel plans and the fact that I am looking into going there with NASA the weekend after. As we talk about costs, I need to start doing more days with them so I can get up to DE4 and into TT, which will hopefully lead to a few sponsorships and reduced costs in some parts for me (far-fetched idea I know). If plans change I'll let you know but I should catch you next year for sure! Do you make it to VIR for any events?

Nice! Spike is a great guy, isn't he? Retired fighter pilot, instructs at Barber with Porsche and also flies jets for Delta. He's constantly on an adrenaline rush! 1:48 is cooking with your setup, nice work!
Yeah, I go to our VIR events as well, but wont be there this weekend since I've gotta get ready for our Sebring event the following weekend.
Look forward to seeing you out there again.
