My last track day of the season

[ArizonaBOSS]

Here is the Roush #61 car through that sweeper going onto the front straight...looks like there are some G's involved!

I was at LRP as well on Monday and got to meet and speak with Ron a little. He gave me a few tips on tires and brakes (gonna try the carbotechs next season) and we got to check out each others cars. The LS is a very cool piece of kit. He graciously offered to take me out to show off but as the run groups were spaced so close and Im not a good passenger I declined. I did do some timing and roketman ran some consistent 1:00.xx laps and at least one 59.xx that I marked. I on the other hand was in the 1:06's with a best of 1:05.27.
I'm still on the stock Pzeros and Ron was running R6's so that's worth 5 seconds right? ;D

Anyway hope to catch up with you again and run together so I can follow and learn the lines of a master, and I would right seat in the GT!

Looking good Steve. Is the whole front splitter painted red or just the front edge?

1:00 flats and a 59 are mighty impressive times for a street car at Limerock, MIGHTY IMPRESSIVE.

The whole splitter is painted Wood Brothers Motorcraft red. My body guy D/A sanded it smooth and painted it. I am still pondering doing the roof this winter as well. As you guys can tell I love the " race car" look and have a modern/retro NASCAR thing going on. Owned a 1969 Mercury Cyclone Spoiler II back in the 80's and have always loved the David Pearson Wood Brothers cars. All in all I just love this car, makes me feel like a track day hero every time I drive it, car definitely makes me look better than I am out there!

1:00.xx is very impressive at Lime Rock for street cars and to be honest I doubted Ron when he came in and said he ran a 1 flat, so I timed him the next session with my iPhone stopwatch. He did run the numbers on clear track, which was hard to come by, he was passing a lot of cars, only a black Nissan GTR was running comparable laps to his.

Hope more members here can make to LRP next year, I plan on doing 4 dates there, 2 at Watkins Glen and 1 at VIR and NJMP each.

Cool, +1 for the Wood Brothers! Personally I'd skip painting the roof and use the money elsewhere. You car looks fine the way it is. 8)

Boy did I luck out ! 62 degrees at Limerock Park in October! I got to try my TRACK KEY yes I liked the track key.no codes or limp mode!The DBA Floating rotors with the carbotech xp20’s.Got to try the Hoosiers ,My new muffler and my new 4 point belts.I was concerned the new Corsa would not make the 94db limit at Limerock.No problem with the sound !And what a sound it is! WHEW!The brakes were flawless,never had any fade and the pedal stayed hard.The Hoosiers were absolutely astounding!OMG!! This is the way to go period…..I ran my shocks at 4 front and 5 in the rear.The car was just wonderful . Perfect 4 wheel drifts. I felt like Gary on speed steriods!

Nice vid..

A question, - Did your 302 use any oil at LR?
