Some Barber video from two years ago running with @Black Boss . No too bad considering it was our second event there. Nick picked up 2 seconds in the Dark Horse R this weekend.
Bill Pemberton posted the thread Paddy's Special Day.............yep, the old Prix is having a Birthday today! in General Mustang Forum.Luckily , like me, he is no more mature than he was a decade ago, but there are rumors he is a tiny bit wiser !

Bill Pemberton replied to the thread HPDE tires.Honestly, after running a slew of tires over the years, sponsored by 4 Tire Companies ( directly or indirectly ) I am constantly amazed at the changing landscape on tires but there always seem to be a reasonably small group of rubber donuts that...

Like.I was starting to hit upper limits according to the stock ford gauges. Part of the upgrade was to allow data logging to see exactly what the real temps were as opposed to calculated values. Went with a CSF triple pass radiator, coolant flows...-
Revisiting as i “think” my trafeos will last one more day. Then the search begins.

I run them they fit mostly fine a bit of a front scrubbing on the plastic fender wall at full lock at around 1" lower than stock. I like how they handle wet and road use and the taller ratio actually helps with gearing at my local tracks namely...

I am a pretty big fan of these trafeos. Takes a lot of abuse that’s for sure. I thought i was gonna cord out this weekend but the grip seemed to hold and still got a few sessions in them and that’s in 85-105+ heat god knows that the track was...

Yes. I like them. I have improved my PB at our local track with them, though previously on Falken RT615k+ so maybe not surprising. I can't comment on longevity as I have only had them on for a couple of sessions, but they seem to be holding up...

bnight replied to the thread S550 Upside Down and on the Wrong Side.Sounds great. If you manage to keep the CHTs below 104C (220F) the car will be consistently faster. I'm at the point that without any cooling I get to like 109C at Summer temps 30C (86F) but timing start to be pulled at anything over 104C. (see full post)
GAR944 replied to the thread S550 Upside Down and on the Wrong Side.Street temps are fine, oil gets up to temp in a few minutes of driving with the thermostat bypassing 90% past the cooler initially, if any thing probably quicker than the stock setup. Water I think stays well below 100 as very little input from... (see full post)-
bnight replied to the thread S550 Upside Down and on the Wrong Side.This combo works for GT4 cars it should work great for an HPDE or Time Attack car where you are not driving 4 hours races in close traffic ;) In fact the DHR cars only run a 2 pass radiator with the same 960 cooler. But the track cars don't have... (see full post)

Ordered a track spec cage back in December, finally received it last week. 14 weeks on a 2-4 week original quote. Really set me back quite a bit, hopefully get it welded in here in the next week or so. Haven’t touched much since then. But once...
