Great shots and always nice to have a Mustang taking top PAX spots at events. DaveW would be proud of you and I remember a big National Event in Georgia a few years back where he hammered everyone in his CAMC Black Beauty. It is always fun, whether on track or autocross, for others to see how capable a Mustang is.
 
Well Sunday was a Blast! Competed in my first Track sprint event. I wasn't sure what to expect from this event. Its a little more out of my autocrossing life and more of a time trial type event. I only have about a handful of days driving Grattan Raceway and doing this in a more competitive environment vs standard HPDE days had my nerves high. But I also need to learn to trust that I DO know how to drive... somewhat. I Took 4th place RAW time and PAX time out of 78 drivers! Not bad For a solid axle Mustang! I also took 2nd In Cam-C! Had to Compete with what every Cam-C car Dreams to be.. a GTD mustang. this car also took first overall every way possible lol.

Here's a quick video of my lap, not my fastest.

It's probably the least stylish, but I like the center rooftop because it lets me look ahead the most.

Looks like a fantastic site. SO MUCH CONCRETE!!!
 
Well winter time updates have been completed, chose this years budget for brakes. Had no issues everything was just a few seasons old and went with the GiroDisc front rotors to help save some weight. Also got a good marketplace deal on some GT500 rear brake upgrade. All I have left is to put the trans scope in and mount my RE71RZ tires. Can’t wait to try all of this out!

Also do I cut the bumper and put the ford racing tow hook on?
