Pics of your GT350 or S550 Mustang at the track!

Ps. Take a look how much the tire deforms under load!

You should see how they look at Homestead!!

A few shots from my last track day at Serres when I claimed back the fastest Mustang on Serres record. Beating the previous one by over 1 second.

Great shots of the Mustang that tells others at Serres Road Course, " I just Blue by you, ha!"

I thought there was an S197 Picture thread and cant find it pinned or in the search?

O well. I'll be a little rebel.

Went back to Willow Springs last weekend after hearing about the news of the sale. At the time it seemed the track's future was uncertain so I signed up.
I now know that Singer will be part owner and that it will remain a public venue (It is a CA point of historical interest but rules aren't a thing these days).

Anyhoo, a friend organized the event through Racing for ALS and it is a benefit for fallen LEO's and this was it's 4th year. It was a great time for a great cause!







I beat my old PB by ~5.5 seconds, hit 130+ in the straight and sustained 110 through turn 8.

Hallett this weekend on the new wheel/tire combo and mcs coilovers

Was hoping to make that event and just could not get things caught up. It was not in the cards no matter what as we were hit by large hail and tornadoes ( just South of us by 3-4 miles ) and my trailer roof got hammered. The sides , front and rear had almost no damage as it came straight down. How did you do, Stan, and what was your impression of the new pavement.

We ran the private track day on friday to learn the circuit. The new surface was nice in the dry on Friday. Still has many bumps and cambers to adjust for though, but the car worked very well, got down to a low 1:21.2 in the 3rd session without much risk.
They have repaved the corners, but just resealed the straights - this caused big challenges for the TT saturday.
Steady wet with intermittent during the Sat. TT, I ended up 2nd in my class, but was struggling with my oem michelin ps4s as rain tires (3yrs old).
Grip was modest, but the car would not accelerate at all without snapping sideways, even on the straightaways. I learned that I need some fresh continental ECS02's to have a chance in the wet. They had much more grip on my friends gt350 and C6 Z06 as they ran away from field.

Does this count at Atlanta Motor Speedway?

In the interests of keeping @Bill Pemberton happy, he has only had to wait 2 years, here is my fastest lap of day 1. It a very fast flowing and undulating track especially here in Australia.
The map on the video is the wrong circuit, still trying to work out the Smarty cam as the data file has the right track layout.

Thanks and it is so fun to see speeds in Kilometers. I wonder if someone watching in the States is noticing you hit over 175 and is somewhat perplexed, ha. Looks like the course you were running keeps you busy and I appreciate you posting for me, er , for everyone!

Day 2 - Had some think time overnight. Grab 5th early in the mid section, don't drop to 3rd in other spots, think i was washing too much speed off doing it.
Either way it got me into high 11's, quick check of the data and a low 10 seems possible which is what i way looking for to beat the Mach 1.
Now just have to see why the oil temp was so high, its from the ecu so will do a bit of digging on here and see if its calculated or real.

We had a decent time at NCM this weekend, shaking down @Black Boss LeMans Dark Horse R and playing around with the 21 Car and Craig's 350R race car (ex Black Boss also). Lost 3rd gear in the 21 so spent the event using 4th and 5th only on track. But we had some good dinners with the BOSS Brothers Racing gang, and I had a great talk with Steve Luca who is the NCM Track Record holder for production based vehicles in his Serpent Stangs GT500 Grid Life Time Attack monster.

I need a translator.

I need a translator.

means of course, or naturally Mr. Waldony in French. Have been practicing you know.

Arrrrrrggggghhhhhh

French appearing in what I thought was an English speaking bastion of sanity!

'Of course' is just one example of how much more efficient English is vs French. Five syllables in French, two in English.

Anglo Canadians are forced by the language nazis to translate everything to French, an expensive and divisive practice. We are forced to learn two languages even though we will likely only ever need one. This forum is a welcome refuge from French.

Sorry for the rant, a little touchy this morning after an election that signed us up for four more years of wasteful spending, virtue signaling and more taxes.

Only good thing is it was not a majority, so the only way for it to survive is to find concensus and that's a good thing for citizens.

Elections are a good thing. Sorry it didn't go the way you or I had hoped for the Canadian people. French response when it concerns DHR 00058, sorry. She is headed to Le' Sarthe in about of month and we will meet her there on June 8.
