I want to go too. You and I might get kicked off due to noise though. 103 DB limit. Last auto-x I went to I registered 106 and that was on the flippin' tarmac.

We would appreciate your support bud!

For sure I’ll be there Saturday. IOU a beer or two as well LOL. Do you really think we can get kicked for the decibel level? Maybe we could let off wherever the microphone is? I’ve been itching the race so bad I’m super tempted to get a stock axle back and throw that on just for autocross. Also just check the link is 150 the discounted price?

Awesome bud! :cheers:

As for the track, I dont know. Ive been aggressively warned at both Sonoma and the auto-x club that I drive in. We'll definitely have to figure out where the microphone is. I reached out to one of the organizers in a real casual way but he didn't get back to me yet. And yeah, I could use some track time too.

He also lost his phone at the corkscrew at laguna the other weekend so...

$150 is the regular price I believe.

I see ok. So are you going to try and go anyway? I noticed it’s like 9 hours long lol. I’m still debating chancing it. Does your coupon work multpile times

Hey fellow track rats, if you’re looking for a GT PP with all the good track mods already done, I’m selling my 2016 with only 7000 miles on it: https://www.mustang6g.com/forums/showthread.php?t=100008

Will run at least a few times with Speed SF and NCRC this year, maybe start to get into the NASA system as well.

Holla!

did you end up selling the ride? what you racing now? that bad ass looking car you posted awhile back?

Yep, this is one

No firm buyer on the 'Stang, but got some nibbles of interest that may turn into something, and I have it on eBay auction that ends this evening...we shall see.

sweet. good luck with sale. can't wait to see you race that thing! bad ass! also if you have any parts fs lmk. ;)

Damn Chris, that thing is badass. What kinda lap times you turning with that?

I was told by the guy at RPM Motorsports, which has been helping me get it dialed in and some repairs too, that it should be a 1:50 car at T-Hill East, and 1:20 or maybe a bit better on West.

But I'm not quite as fast as that yet, need more practice. It's pretty funky to drive and is a lot less forgiving than the 'Stang.

Dayum! :eyebulge:

Well....the pony has left the stable, but it did go to a guy who really appreciates what it is, so that's nice. And it's staying in my town, who would have thought?! Maybe we'll see it at the track with Jim driving...

And now to focus on getting my little ripper all dialed in. Hit my best time ever at T-Hill West last weekend, a 1:25.9. About 2 seconds faster than I ever managed in the 'Stang after 2 years of setup and practice. I'm definitely leaving 4-5 seconds on the table, but it's a pretty intense car to push to limits!
