o no! you good?
@Vettel-ish Whats done to the 500?
Me in my friends GT500. So fun!
You need a racing clutch. The stock Ford clutch is junk and it's killing your trans. I have an Exedy Hyper Single, a good racing clutch makes all the difference in the world. There are lots of good racing clutches for the Mustang. Be warned though, a racing clutch is a very different animal than a stock clutch, you will need to get used to it and adapt to its needs.Well today was my first event and let me tell ya… I will be returning as frequently as physically possible. I haven’t enjoyed something that much in a long time. Only got to do 2 of the 3 runs since there was an unfortunate event with a Bullitt on track (driver is ok).
Nitto’s are definitely the weak link in my build and in terms of temperatures - I wrapped the exhaust by the diff but did not change fluid. My clutch felt like it wasn’t enjoying the heat/abuse toward the end of the second run. My instructor had me staying in 3-4. But on the last straight I started noticing that I had to shift slower and slip into 4th gear more compared to early in my first session. Any clue what’s going on there? Is there a remedy?
Diff maybe touched 205. CHT 210 (maybe). And I felt like I was pushing it 7/10. Managed to start my day at 3:58 and down to 3:12 for the full course. Happy with the improvement but I know I can do a lot better
Cooling, cage, harness, slicks and hawks. She flies.@Vettel-ish Whats done to the 500?
maybe a trans cooler?It’s weird because the car shifts completely normal now. And it did after it cooled down for 30 minutes or so.
@Vettel-ish Whats done to the 500?
That’s what I’m thinking. I’m gonna change fluid to motul for next session too.maybe a trans cooler?
Is your brake fluid and clutch fluid shared? The S197 cars have a kit the from Shelby that separates those. I have it and am running SRF in the clutch side too
We’ll be at Blackhawk on the 21st also. I’ll be by to check out the 500 for sure. Same same for paddock parking.I will be @ blackhawk with it on the 21st. Come check it out. My car is still down so I am running it.

Advanced drivers are only allowed on Thursday. Friday thru Sunday has the regular run groups. NWSC increases the price after June 15th, so there is a very short window to get in at the lower price. Tight schedule for you since you’re at Autobahn on Saturday.I signed up for Autobahn on July 1st. It was $120 with SCCA membership. But I might be down for a Road America trip instead - BUT it says advanced drivers only. I don't think I would qualify for that just yet.
Hot damn, 134mph front straight - now that’s moving along !!Fastest lap and almost crashed ...all in under 7 min!! lol
What caused you to push out so far? Just too fast, able to go faster than expected and missed turn point? I ask because I am going back to BF on Saturday and I feel I can pick up a bunch of time in that corner but don't want to have the same result you did.Fastest lap and almost crashed ...all in under 7 min!! lol
