This has always been one of my favorite tracks. Sarah Groot is running the car for me...

Yeah but my POS phone takes a thousand years to.upload it and it times out. I've restarted it, took it to a techy, just the usual computer garbage, never works when you want it to.

Attempt number 2,497...

Also Sarah..lolol..

That's a lot of kitty litter as long as everything is straight, all good.

That's all from the sand trap she was pulled out of.
Her dad, Kevin retired from Ford, and either worked for IMSA, or was part of the Ford liason with IMSA, so I already knew him. I met Sarah at Sebring and they want to move up from the Miatas. I let her run my car so she could get a bit used to a Mustang prior to putting her in a Gt4, unfortunately the Gt4 got wounded just prior to her going out. FWIW, I managed to damage the trans in Superbeater in my last stint so...
Anyway, they both are very nice folks and despite my rough exterior, I don't mind helping out those younger folks in the sport. Sam Paley was also there coaching. It was a great time.

Big difference from a Miata to your Mustang to a GT4.

I have video of a Mustang from Red Bull visiting Atlanta Saturday, but I am dreading trying to figure out how to upload it.

You have the best kind of Race Mustang, someone else's. Just don't beat the owner.

Welcome to trackmustangsonline.com! How does it feel going from a Miata to this car? In what ways is it different on the track?

IMO - heres my experience prior to the test, Sam Paley is my coach, he has been coaching me in miatas for about a year and a half.. I wouldnt have gotten in the mustangs unless he was confident.

the biggest difference was my brakes. because the miata is so light, I can get away with a really quick brake release, and coast to the apex. however, in the mustang, I have to be on the brakes all the way to apex, or else the car felt really unsettled and wouldnt turn at all. besides the braking, the fundamentals stayed the same for me, maybe just emphasizing my throttle application.. but thats pretty much it.

my quickest time in robs car at RRR was a 1:23.1
