Well going to my first track event on Aug 4th at NCCAR.......2mi rd course.

What kinda things do I need to know to help me out?
Anything I need to look at doing for race day (remove jack/spare, etc.)
What do u recommend I take with me besides a cooler of water?

Looking forward to this event! I will post pics to this thread when I get back.

 

Where is it? Is there any more room or slots for anyone else to go? I've been wanting to get my car on a road course.

Its off I95 on the border of NC and VA.....there are only 15 cars pre registered and a Max of 50 allowed. Pm me ur email and I will try to scan a copy of the reqistratin info to send u. If u go that will make 3 white 2011+ GTs. Hahaha

 

I met these guys at SEMA, this is a cool facility. It appears to be very flat. They will rent the facility for a day or a weekend.

 

So far away......I'm always skeptical about taking the spare/jack out of the car before going somewhere, its just asking for a bucket of nails to bounce out of a truck.

Probably a tire gauge and pump to make any adjustments, upgrade your brake fluid and bleed them.

 

Pming you my email now.

 

Well all taped up and ready for the track tomorrow....u can see my new black grille pony i n these pics. Thanks Alan!

I will post track pics and video here tomorrow night hopefully.

 

Glad it worked for you Doug. Look forward to the pics and video.

 

WOW, what a day! Great weather and a great track experience!

I used to have respect for Corvette's, but not after today.....first session of the day was nothing but waiting for Vett's to wave me by. My car handled GREAT, but a little advice for those who plan on taking their 5.0 out on a rd course: Upgrade teh brakes & Rear Sway bar. Two main things I could have used today, then a set of race seats. Even so ,the car out performed the majority of the vette's and every other mustang out there today. Can't wait to do it again!

Here's a video & some pics...(Last one is a photoshop of three pics, all cars in the shot are my car)
I have some GoPro footage as well that I will get edited and post later.

Was this with Tarheel Sports Car Club? I was going to recommend new brake pads before you go, but I was too late. Looks like a good time!
