    Birthday Rhyme Time ---- Jeff V8 is Sixty Eight !!

    Man, the Pennsylvania Pony Pilot is starting to catch up to me , though we all know he still acts much more mature than I do. Today he is celebrating a Birthday and we need to all reach out and wish him the best, as he has been a member and contributor for a dang long time. A good wish for his...

    3 Part Article Series on Tires/Tyres - rubber, grip and dynamics.

    Blimey, the viscoelastic nature of tyre rubber is why it is so difficult to managing tyre strategy. I have a feeling BS1 and I are going to have to quote " Viscoelastic Nature " a bit more often when we describe the variables causing massive confusion with the dynamics of types. I know...

    67 Fairlane GTA

    Love the Fairlane and occasionally a gentleman from Colorado comes to the Mustang Roundup ( www.racemph.com ) in September with a twin -- same color ,motor, year, etc. It is such a beautiful machine and the sleek lines look as good now as they did in the 60s!

    S550 RTR Spec 1

    I would probably skip the Rivals as BFG is not aggressively participating in the Track/Autocross wars like others and the Rival S1.5 is not near the top of the heap as much anymore, though they are pretty good for a dual purpose tire ( autocross and track ). I have run BFGs many times over the...

    Welcome and what wheels and rubber have to shod your beast with to put all the power down? Looks like you have used alot of Steeda products and they do a nice job on Mustang upgrades. Glad to have you on TMO!

    Member Introductions - Introduce Yourself

    Consider checking out Virginia International Raceway or Carolina Motorsports Park for your next run, as I believe you will find a world of difference on a true road course. Running on almost any track is fun but you have two very well respected and exhilarating road courses just a short drive...

    Track Time Videos

    Duane, you need to put AC/DC Racing on your car , noting of course " Back to Black " and under the AC/DC moniker write in little letters , " Accelerate/Decelerate !"

    Track Time Videos

    Duane is so correct because driving a momentum car is often a fantastic vehicle to learn with , because keeping the speed up requires more and more skill to hit every apex, brake at just the exact spot and to work at getting into the power as soon as possible -- a feeling of hammering the gas...

    S197 2012 GT Street/AutoX build

    Very, very good advice to check the date and likely get some new belts. They do wear and like so many safety items they do need to be replaced over the years due to age.

    Big DaveW is very AARP eligible today!

    Mr. Soloperformance.com is getting more and more mature and today he is only a few years away from getting the Senior discount at McDonald's. Wish him well, and if you are going to the SCCA Solo Spring Nationals in Lincoln in late May I am sure you will see him there and make sure you go say hi...

    Falken RT660: recommendations for 18x11 Apex wheels

    No need to be rude Mr. Black. If the individual is looking for a competitive tire he might want to simply go to TireRack and peruse the 11 tire tests for his needs, as well as the tires that fit his wheels. Mr. Blevins and Sam Strano seem to have done fairly well using Falkens for a small...
