I would love to try them some day to blitz the PBs. I have to stay in the SCCA TT 200TW rules for now. At least the harder tires seem to last a good ling while.-
A somber update, RIP to this beast of a motor.Looks like it dropped a valve on #5 and also took out 6 & 2 along the way. 5800mi on it, about 20hrs on track over 40 days since I bought it. Was running stock tune, and up til now had consumed...

Well finally got the factory set screws removed from the factory camber plates and a proper track alignment done @Middleton Motorsports last Friday. Awesome shop with professionals who know mustangs and Shelby’s among other super cars. Jim...

I’m running 450lb springs in front. My biggest issue with the car has been a lack of adjustability. The previous owner installed non-adjustable shocks and swaybars, which really limited quick in-event tuning options. We run everything from...

Bill Pemberton replied to the thread S197 NASA HPDE at Gingerman.NASA has one of the best programs out there and the ladder system no only helps one go through techniques, speed, track awareness, etc. at a solid pace to learn and understand how to go faster. Enjoy the Instruction and you will find yourself in... (see full post)
