@ 2:05 in the video. That is the best exit of the downhill S turns i have seen on TH-cam yet. (Regardless of the wiggle.) I have not raced there in 22 years, but everyone hits the brakes there. It has a large run off space, use it!! Carry that speed through the Ridge and all the way through 8. Granted: I was in a Spec 3/4 Scale Stock Car with Mazda Engine at the time, only a few of us would pin it off of the Balcony and never lift until the entry of Turn 1. Clocked at 138 M.P.H. through Turn 8 and made 9 still Pinned.
Not nearly as fast as I was expecting. They must really limit these motors. In the mid 1990's, Tom Kistler ran 1:18s at Big Willow in his laydown 250 Unlimited Kart....so this is surprisingly slow.
Kistler's phenom times at Big Willow were actually in thr 80's and he ran the Yamaha YZ250 engine - cannibalized from an RD250, and was VERY fast - in a "lay-down" configuration. However, Scott Pruett beat Kistler's time in the Rotax that Pruett went on to win - and become the first American to do so, back-to-back, BTW - the WKA world championship(s)
This kid is smart really love his motivation

Great job. I hit a similar time virtually, in a corvette.

The motor is limited to 12,500 vs 16,500
Also the pavement has an extra 30 year on it. Looked like the wheels were off the pavement half the time
106 MPH Average...
