How good is the S197 on a road course? Good enough to win the national championship. For those of you who don't know - the National Auto Sports Association held its annual championship races last week at Miller Motorsports Park in Utah. Mustangs compete mainly in the American Iron class (There is also AIX as in Extreme, but those cars aren't anything resembling stock). The S197 has not exactly been flocked to as 'the' car to have in AI but its becoming more and more prevalent. This year, there were 15 cars in the AI class, 6 of them S197s. And they finished 1st and 4th. Not to bad - these cars aren't that far from stock. So all praise the S197, way to go.

That K-member is a sweet looking piece! Maybe someday... way too many other priorities right now!

If anyone is interested, you can watch an onDemand replay of the NASA national championship race for AI and AIX on www.speedcasttv.com. Many of the races are posted so you just have to look for the AIX one and you can see all the S197s giving it their all. Its free to watch the small version, takes a membership to watch the full screen.

It was quite a race. As mentioned above - Ross Murray won it. I won't spoil the ending but to say he didn't lead until the last couple corners of the last lap.

You only need to lead one.......
