Default Bitten by the track bug....

Ok, I have a new problem. Had the chance to take my Mustang to the Road America Vintage Races last weekend. The track touring event at lunch time turned into a hot lap session, which was really cool! I turned the car over to my wifes uncle, who has quite a bit of experience in SCCA and Midwest Council racing. He had never driven my car before, and was way impressed. My setup is all Sam Strano spec. Koni Streets, Ultralight springs, and Strano bars front and rear. I also have take off GT500 wheels and tires. He was truly amazed at this setup and how it transformed a run of the mill Mustang. Now all i need is a set of brakes that can take the abuse! A few quick videos and a pic.

It's nothing that a little money can't fix. Welcome to our support group. It meets regularly at tracks all over the continent.

Most folks who have driven it say RA is one of the premier tracks in the western hemisphere. I hope one day I get to see for myself.

Hi, my name is Greg, and I have the same problem.

Matter of fact, I was forced to miss my last track day this past weekend. As like anyone else with a "problem", I couldn't sleep, felt restless, cold sweats, irritable, edgy, and have no nails left from biting them off.

Welcome to the club!

I was using one of those Flip video cameras, and we were just holding it. Worked pretty well, but I wish I had a mount for it.

There is a blower! I installed an M90 with a VMP tune, smaller pulley and intake. It goes good now!
