They made me go out first... so a real clear look at Motorsports Park Hastings from the dash of a 2012 Boss 302 running a square (18x9.5) setup with 285x35 Hankook RS-3s and Vorshlag camber plates
Enjoy
Good stuff John! Way to lead the fleet in the CO! I like the way you short shift 3-4 right before the apex at 7. I've been experimenting and there's not a great place before, at or after that apex, but I think where you were hitting it is the best option. If you look at the power band on the dyno charts I've seen, I think you're still in the sweet spot even shifting at 6-6500 there. You take a different line through 9/10 and 12 than I do. I think I'll experiment with those this Saturday when I go back down there for my last track day of the year.JScheier said:Finally got some video that edited without choppiness.

Dean#4AI said:Aahhh, what a fun weekend. So no video of when you started behind me?
There are a couple of places that I took a little different line. I took more of a late apex on turn 2 in hopes that it would create a little more speed going down that long straight. I also short shift 7 because of the reasons you stated. I also do a little different line through the 9/10 combination. I think I track out further coming off 9 which creates a late apex on 10. That seemed to get me a easier entry on the left going into 11.
I wish we could have done more lead/follow sessions but they just never seemed to work out.
JScheier said:A lot of that is left over from the M3. After watching the video about 100 times, I can see several places where I'm fighting the car to run 'the line'... which was the line I ran in the M3. 600 more lbs, 200 more HP and less grip just doesn't quite work that way . I still had to slow way down for 3 as front tire grip wasn't there and the car just felt really loose going through.
I think of the Mustang as Hammer Time and You Can't Touch This.ArizonaGT said:Might help to adjust your strategy if you think of the M3 as more of a "momentum" car (at least compared to the Mustang).
Caravan with John G! Better yet, rent a double trailer and he could probably pull it with his F-250 Or just throw your track tires in his trailer and Smokey & The Bandit it through the Rockies! ;DArizonaGT said:Oh man...I gotta get out there sometime to keep the Race Red Reputation from getting tarnished further...
