    Picking control arms within the club spec rules

    What’s the difference with the gt500 upper? Just a different bushing? I couldn’t really find anything when I was searching. I ran across one of your posts about it. Do you think I should just press another stock axle side bushing in or use the steeda once since it’s allowed?

    Picking control arms within the club spec rules

    My car is on the original control arms front and rear. After pittrace I noticed my RF control arm bushing leaking, which surprised me as I didn’t realize they are hydraulic. For the front: are the ford racing gt500 arms worth doing over the stock ones? Rear: I read Billy Johnson’s thread on...

    @JeffV8 I was the guy who sat with you at the picnic table. You had the orange s550 correct?

    SCCA Club Spec program concept - to include S197 Mustangs

    I see what you guys are saying and I’ll try to be more mindful of that going forward. I hold the wheel there because the spokes keep me from death gripping the wheel. My thumbs just kind of ride on top the spokes instead of wrapping behind. At least that’s my intention.

    S197 Mike’s Club Spec Mustang

    Only have one event on them so it is hard to judge. They seem to wear well, no noticeable wear after this weekend. They’re supposed to be off pace of the mainstream 200tw by a bit. They’re 220tw. I will say they are scary in the rain, I had a set of Goodyear exhilarates I threw on for the wet on...

    SCCA Club Spec program concept - to include S197 Mustangs

    Just posting for anyone curious about club spec and searching. I built one and took it to VIR for the TT national tour. The car is a ton of fun to drive and very friendly. We got our time cut pretty short because of incidents with all the rain on Saturday so I didn’t get as much seat time as I’d...
