Pics of your GT350 or S550 Mustang at the track!

With the number of tracks you have been to, your bucket has got to be getting awfully full? Been to 20 tracks , already, over the years, but I think I will sit down with you when you get to Hastings in September, and have you help formulate my bucket list from all your favorites. Nothing like first hand reports from Quick Nick to save me the hassle of going to a few tracks that could prove there was a hole in my bucket?!

Still have a lot of tracks to get to: Road Atlanta, Atlanta Motorsports Park, Palmer, Pitt Race, Calabogie, Mosports, and then there's the West Coast.......

Road Atlanta is one of my favorite tracks in the US, that should definitely be up there at the top. Going up the hill, under the bridge and down through turn 12 is a major rush!!

At M1 COncourse for my first trackday yesterday.

 

[Bill Pemberton]

What is the length of the course , there at M1?

 

[yotah1]

1.5 mile. Way too short

 

[Bill Pemberton]

Dang, would have to agree with that, but hopefully there are some 4th gear areas??

 

[yotah1]

End of the back straight is in 4th gear (you can check the video I've uploaded in my build thread) but that's about it.

 

[Bill Pemberton]

I kinda of wondered with that short length. But, heh, a place fairly close to go play and hammer on the Shelby can't ever be all bad!
Will go check out your video!

Anthony, who was driving the other GT350 you passed in your video?

 

[yotah1]

Some big guy with more cash than talent lol
Supercharger was silly and he had no clue how to drive it. He left roght after the session ended...

 

[VoodooBoss]

That was a GT350 with a SC?

 

[yotah1]

Yeah, earlier chassis number than mine but it was a 2017 and the guy fitted a ProCharger to it, apparently claimed 700hp ... Still he couldn't shake me in the straights, and was just slow while over his own limits in the corners...

I'm afraid to say he was a "typical" owner, you know, with the usual cliché of the open hood as soon as he parked, and the bad driving lol

 

[VoodooBoss]

Hey I'm one of those guys that pops the hood. The Bosses got so hot you needed too. Still pop it open in my 350. Also popping open the trunk now too and removing the spare tire trunk panel. The diff gets hotter than the trans and engine fluids. I think maybe the diff needs more air or a larger cooler.

Yotha1:

You smoked that other GB GT350, I was surprised how fast you caught him 1/2 way through 1st lap?

It sounded monsterious taking off out if pit lane in front of you. Once you were on his tail, he almost lost it once.

Pressure. . .

Nice drive,

I can understand popping the hood after a session. I just will never understand popping the hood as soon as you arrive at the event and park to go to the drivers' briefing...

PAE's Mustang at Grid Life's Track Battle, Mid Ohio April 9th.
Brian and I went up to test (new front sheet metal, aero, Hawk's new DTC 80 compound in our Brembo calipers) before our race season starts in a couple of weeks.
Great group of people. Car ran well, Brian drove very well. Won the Unlimited Rear wheel drive class with a PB 1:24.9, track record, fastest overall lap.
Still lots of little things to do but pleased.

 

[yotah1]

Wing, diffuser, splitter and stance are absolutely amazing on your car!!! I like the hood too with the gigantic vent

Do you have a build thread or other photos of it, I'm curious to see all the details as it looks awesome!

 

[VoodooBoss]

Your car looks amazing and good luck this season. You're more than welcome to start a build thread.

It was a much bigger thrill before the redesign. Had the scariest track moment of my life there, put two wheel off on the left after the bridge.

Are you talking about when it was essentially a straight right down to going under the bridge. Have to agree if that is what you are talking about, lost a friend who went airborne and actually hit the bridge.
