Forum: Road Course Racing, Track Days, Drag Meets

Some random videos of a track day. I did not have my car on track but was working the grid and the scales. It is scary when these cars show up in my group when I run HPDE 3 and 4. Yikes! :eek: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=m0mUTZKky3U These are the cars I am...

Thought I'd share a few pictures from the HOD track event on Friday at Thunderhill. There was almost half a dozen Audi R8s there, a few Porsche GT3/GT3 RS track cars, and huge mixture of others cars both old and new. There was a really nice full rear-caged TrakPak there that appears to run CA...

Decided tonight to purchase a Maximum Motorsports rollbar for VIR the end of the month. Any thoughts suggestions or input.

As I get my car ready for the 2013 SVT Superfest, I knew I was going to have to address the axle vent leaking that occurs when the car is driven on track. I knew about the OEM Ford Turkey Baster solution but I have seen where on the 2012s and specifically if they are lowered you run the risk of...

The Roush Road Crew confirmed on Facebook an event at VIR for May 24-26 and I cannot wait. For those of you who have never been to this event, it is a combined event with the SVT guys (SCMC) and Track Club USA. Tony from SVT does an incredible job as it is well organized and supported by Ford...

Hoosier Tire released today an updated list of discontinued tires on sale. Included in the list are the Continental Series road race tires. The Continentals are slightly different from the regular R6's. They are R6 compound with an R3 construction. These tires do not have the two grooves so...

Didn't see this posted anywhere...and I've been idle on the board for a LONG time...so I figured I would jump back in with a BANG. The MCMC is hosting a HPDE at AMP May 25-26 2013...this is a ROAD course. For details and a registration form go to www.musiccitymustangclub.org This is a new...

I am about to purchase a harness setup for my 2007 427R. I have the stock Roush leather seats. What type of harness is best? I also assume I need a harness bar or possibly a minimalistic roll bar. What is the best to get cam lock, or lever? Anyone know of a harness bar the is quick release for easy...

I am trying to see if anyone is interested in going to Pocono. There seem to be only 3 options for the long course and they are with 3 different clubs. One of which is the PCA and I am willing to say most Mustang guys will not sign up to be a member. Please advise if you know of any other options....

Just signed up for the May event at ThunderHill - time to break this beast of an engine in for good, and correctly...HARD. Anyone planning on/registered for attending any? :cheers:

I am trying to find a way to mount my Go Pro video camera somewhere in cockpit that will enable my to get both the road and my dashboard in the shot. Kind of a low tech way to monitor the car's stats. In a previous car I was able to use the suction cup on the top inside of the rear windshield and...

Learned something this past Friday. Picked up my car, was having new Ford Racing Torsen T2R diff put in and had fluids changed out in preperation for track season. During diff install tech found some badly scar'd carrier bearings. Unknown cause, but owner told me I should be changing out the...

Other than the Roush 2008 track pack car, the rest of the 05-10 roush cars don't have provisions for front brake ducts / silicone hoses. How do you folks who track your cars get around this ? I don't see any mods available. A friend in the local mustang club was asking me the other day...

My track day My wife bought me a ‘Formula Challenge’ motor sport experience for my birthday, 3 laps in a V8 race car at Hampton Downs. She new I wanted to do a track day in my Roush and was scared I would wreck it so bought me this to learn the track and wreck someone else’s car instead of...

http://i46.tinypic.com/wbow3l.gif During the off season I am getting my new to me car ready for HDPEs. I have have purchased a 2012 Mustang GT to set up for track days. It will have a Roush suspension as soon as I can make time to install it. I may make another thread to track my budget...

I'm more curious than anything. I assume the rears don't get anywhere near as hot as the fronts. Does anybody ever use rear brake duct cooling, or larger brake rotor's ? Or is HPS / HP+ pads good enough for the rear.....and then your favourite track pads on the fronts ?

Finished up the 2012 NASA season at Autobahn CC this past weekend. Been wanting to run Autobahn for years and it was all I expected it to be. Very impressive course and lots of fun. Gated entrance, secured facilities, manicured lawns, large clubhouse and the track was in good shape. Nice place,...

This may be a silly question, but I don't understand the purpose of the oem dust shields. They are only on the inside anyway, not on the outside. You still get dust on the wheels depending on pads used etc. What are we trying to keep dust away from anyway, the center hub, or wheel bearing assy? ...

Headed up to The Ridge Motorsport Park (Shelton, WA) for a 14 hour event this weekend. Should be fun we have 3 drivers along with the 2 car owners. The car is a 1990 Mustang GT with 150k miles and 2 events already under it's belt. Last time out it just missed the podium, taking a 4th but 1st in...

Well, was at Mid Ohio last weekend, was supposed to have been nice no rain forcasted, but.....it rained all day Sat. Didn't take my street tires (RS3's) with me, they don't really like wet anyway, so I ended up sitting out 3 sessions and did get in one during a long break in the cloud bursts. Got...

It was a long hot day. But we had a good time. I think I did pretty good for my first time. http://i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy345/stvcrgy55/The%202010%20Stage%203/293749_4245983669446_443932594_n.jpg ...

I would advise anyone running a BMR K-Member and putting in a lot of track time to check it for stress cracks on a regular basis. Last year we had to beef up my K-Member by adding some gussets and re-welding the stock gusset plates. I also went through 2 sets of motor mounts and one set of...
