Racewars Sprint and 1000 metre weekend, Western Australia

[booah]

Hi everyone, haven't posted much but reading and learning heaps , great forum.

I have a 2017 GT manual, WGW shifter with Perf pack Brembos, MikeMaierInc coilovers,JRI internals and rear JRI's, MMI weight jackers in the rear, MMI harness bar, APEX 18 X10 on all corners with Kuhmo V720's.

So I attended the above event 5 hrs south of Perth this last weekend, 2 days of airstrip runs and 1 day of hill climb. I've spent more time and effort on the suspension and handling than power but at the last minute I swapped over to E85 with LU47 injectors and a couple of tunes. We trailered the car down to the event and ended up with a PB of 224.6 Km/hr in the 1000 meter after 7 runs.

The hill climb was the 3rd day and came 43rd out of 87 car competing, but most were dedicated racecars so I was pretty chuffed with the car. The hill climb was basically a long right hander with some chicanes thrown in for good measure, not once did the tires loose grip so I know the car has heaps more to give, I just need more seat time. It was a great weekend overall and so happy with the car. Brake upgrades are next with stainless lines on the way from Tim @OP and then we'll see about the rotors, pads and brake ducts. The local track is about to see me a whole bunch more I think

Very cool, thanks for sharing.

Love the fact that Ford built the Mustang in both left and right hand drive, as the car is so popular in Australia , England and other countries where the driver on the right , for them, is right, ha. I , and I know many others will look forward to your postings and hopefully some of your friends running Stangs down under. Really nice mods on your Blue GT and you might consider Disc Brakes Australia for a set of two piece rotors since they should be reasonably priced for you -- who knows you might be able to get some sponsorship from them? Do not get the drilled rotors ,though, make sure you only get slotted. Excited to see the Mustang running in SuperCar competition this year , and am chuffed you have joined our little performance forum. Love that term, and sounds like one many of us should be using?

PS - glad to see Tim at OP has been able to assist you even in faraway Perth. MGW is the absolute best short throw shifter in the World for Mustangs, so congrats on installing George Ciamillo's beautiful handiwork!

Heres a few more pics at the hill climb and a Falcon for good measure because it was such an awesome car/ picture!

Unreal pictures !!! Your license plate ( AWOL ) , absent without leave 50, is justified if you are using the time away to do such cool activities, ha! The fun, sun and thunder from down under rocks with Australian motorsports!

Car looks great! We don't see many of them with the large side mirrors (export version).

 

[Bill Pemberton]

That ( mirrors ) and the little front fender side marker lights are indicative of models outside the US. Hit the Grabber Blue GT side profile picture to supersize it to see some of the American Companies in Booah's decal mix. I especially like the one for Mike Maier , who is very well thought of in the Autocross/Mustang community.

Thanks for the compliments, I never really noticed the side mirror difference, funnily enough my fastest run of the day had the mirrors tucked in by mistake, I'll have to remember that
