First track day was absolutely awesome.....no instructor, First group, had a blast Car completely stock with street alignment..... between first and second session i Dropped 10 seconds Time....it was drizzling....last session i pushed extremely hard, but got stuck behind traffic. Even with that i hit 3:00.854....

i def need to put a harness in, i was sliding around int he factory seatbelt.....i kept it in 4th gear the whole time because. Again, first time, i was focusing on the turns and everything.

cant wait for more.

There is a trick to keeping you in your seat a bit better with just the factory belt. Push the seat all the way back then try to snap the shoulder belt for it to lock in your hand. Now suck in your gut and click it into the lock. It will only take you 100 times to perfect this little trick, but once done, and secured then move your seat forward till you can not breathe. You will not be able to move, breathe , or anything else , but you will find yourself surprisingly secure. Work on it, but it is rewarding till find your butt pretty planted till you can get a bar and harness belts.

i just learned how to put the video of my fastest lap onto youtube.

 

[TMSBOSS]

Nice!!! Staying in one gear is a great way to learn your line. You will love the 5.2 once you are shifting 3-4. She loves pulling and screaming. Reminds me of my little sister when we were young. LOL.

 

[Bill Pemberton]

Your little sister was screaming at 8250 rpms ........no wonder you can't hear squat anymore, ha. Ole TMS practiced his lines first at Autobahn , getting damn proficient and then when comfortable was rowing those gears. Seems , if my memory serves me right he vaulted forward 10 seconds from where he started to where he finished -----and he finished fast passing a slew of other machines because he focused on the track first and speed second!!!

At least. She was Gifted.

I have run Autobahn just once....so far. Its a great facility. If I had to pick one gear to run with the 350 it would be third. You will bounce of the limited a few times until you start shifting. You can pull from 35 MPH to a touch over 100 MPH in third. I never used second once on track.

Glad you had a good time, Tony. Hope to run with you somewhere soon.

Signed up for another track day at autobahn june 20th with GPS

 

[Tonymustang302]

Started to do the rear vertical links, and 1 piece driveshaft, but stock exhaust.....and driveshaft replacement seems like an enormous chore.....if i do a resonator delete it will be super simple.....but then might as well do the mgw shifter. so just installed @06mach1 ’s rear seat harness brackets.

 

[Tonymustang302]

seriously i cannot say enough on how awesome these are.....(i think i have the belts on properly.) Once i have my twin turbo cae back im going full out and installing the roll bar in the gt350...

 

[Bill Pemberton]

You done good, Tony, but those darn belts need to go for the front seat bud , not the rear, haha!

Seriously, great job and you just gained a second on track ---- you will not be flopping around the interior anymore! The funny thing is how there is so much less fatigue when you are secure in the seat and experiencing hardly any movement.
