    Tracking w/o handling package?

    Track insurance and you should be good to go.Like others have said watch the fuel gauge, a fellow I track with is using almost a full tank in a 20 minute session in his GT500 on the local 2.38 mile course. Doubt the 500 can make a full 30 minute session at Sebring without running dry.Have fun!

    Will the Mustang become an electric-only model?

    Good point about fire hazard Blacksheep.Several groups that run HPDE at the local track, MSR Houston, have banned tesla's from participating because of the fire risk.From what I understand the batteries take a special type of extinguisher to put out and can burn for 4+ hours at very high...

    Well darn sorry that I missed you! Glad to hear the GT350 ran well.Yea when I was studying video I saw this one and that's what helped my decision to sign up in the novice group, way too many people in intermediate. Novice was great, just had to pass a few slow drivers to get in the open.
