Dialing in placard placement.
@steveespo good try ?
@KazarS197 back far enough off the mirror ?
Doesn’t look too bad to me but wanted other eyes on it cause I don’t want to be that guy

Just a preliminary forecast but damn …………..

OK, 3 days later and the weather “forecasters” seem to be dialing it in ?? 1 local says “it‘s just going to be a mess”

The snow storm brought 8” of heavy wet concrete snow with 1” of slush if you cleared it off before the it ended. Got up to 51* so lots of melting but our village DPW was out in force spreading salt like no tomorrow. (Yes, I know it’s a safety factor but geez, laying it down like it’s a gravel road) My old man time line now is not uncovering the mustang for like another 2 weeks or so. In the wait, I’m doing a motorcycle LEGO to pass the time.

Got the Lego Yamaha done awhile back since posting last. Pics later. Finally got my 2 front RT660 tires, short supply, they’re the “it” tire in endurance events and auto cross so I waited some till they arrived. Got them mounted & balanced last Thursday. Will get them on the car tomorrow. RA in 2 weeks and it takes me forever, car swap, trailer swap, garage change over so I gotta get a fire under my ass. Photo of carbon fiber side sill left on track by spun out car last year at autobahn. @Kona.coyote5.0 was there that day. NSX in front of me got the screw and had a flat but limped around to the paddock.

Just spent a fantastic weekend at Mid-Ohio !! @Vettel-ish was our paddock neighbor. NASA is by far the most legit organization that I encountered in my HPDE career. Excellent approach to making me ready for self improvement with drills, after track briefs and conversation with the other group drivers. Met some other members ( @steveespo ) and their bad ass cars. So many that names are hard for me to remember but their cars, not so much. Didn’t take but 2 photos all weekend but the memories, I have a million !!

Well, my paddock queen took some photos on her phone so here they are. In no particular order. The one that has the thunderhead in it was like a lightning show all Thursday evening after we set up.

Well finally got the factory set screws removed from the factory camber plates and a proper track alignment done @Middleton Motorsports last Friday. Awesome shop with professionals who know mustangs and Shelby’s among other super cars. Jim, service director, called me like a hour after I emailed him last Tuesday. Wanted to be a “waiter” while work was being done & Jim said no problem as I live only 55 miles away And Friday was free on his schedule . Got there bright and early & greeted by Jim, Doug the pro tech, and my new service advisor Sean. Went over the car, discussed what the track alignment involves, agreed upon the limits of the factory installed stuff & went from there. Doug dialed in what he could and was happy with the outcome as so was myself and Jim. Well balanced alignment & should provide tons of fun at my next track day at Road America, fourth of July weekend. I found my new shop to take my Ford vehicles to for the professional service they deserve. MM has a great aftermarket parts department for some go fast, track proven if that’s the direction I want to go down the road !! Sponsored business of TMO, check them out !!

@Middleton Motorsports is the legit professional shop to take your mustang or Shelby, full tilt race or weekend track warrior. They love your car as much as you do. This is my personal experience and opinion, I’m an unpaid spokesman but their rates are pretty decent. Thanks Sean !!, and Doug, you treated my car like your own and especially Jim, your hospitality is second to none !! You have not seen the last of me.
