Default Taking the SSC to the track

Our local club, http://www.fallscitymustangclub.com, recently had a Mustang & All Ford Weekend. On Friday, we had a Pony Drive with the destination, Salem Speedway, in Salem In. This 31 degree banked 1/2 mile track can only be described as awesome.

We took the 89 SSC for some laps and took videos - one for sound and one to show the car.

I would like to run the VIXN around that baby and see what she would do. Some pretty good camber on them thar turns [8D]

I think you need to fire the camera dude on your first vid tho [&:]

Damn Jazzer, that's Charlie's wife Sandy....pretty sure he is not going to fire her at this point in his life [8D] Plus, knowing Charlies driving, I'm guessing she was more concerned with staying in the seat than holding the camera

Jason you're right - 44 years married, I think shes a keeper. Anyway, I told her to just shoot out the side window I wanted to record the sound fo a sound bite.

That track is a blast for sure....we did that track back in May for the Spring Fling and I took my car on it then. Its a very tempting track at 31 degrees, but you don't want to get too confident because the track is NOT smooth and I felt my rear end bobble in turn three []
