You'll LOVE the back straight with those 760 ponies. You'll probably hit 135+mph even as a beginner in a 500.
It may take some time to get comfortable going fast through carousel. It won't seem like it at first, but you can maintain 80+mph through it with your car.
If you're going clockwise...
I run there quite a bit. I'll be there in March. Hope to one day see you out there. Just missed you this time around.
Do you know which direction you're running?
Love to see people tracking cars like yours. I wouldn't own one if I couldn't track it, but I've had the bug for a little while now... kinda distorts reality.
Yeah, MSRH has much nicer facilities. I'll be out there in March with driver's edge. Looks like chin is doing the one in April. I need...
If you were going clockwise, then I bet you ran into some slippery marbles turning left late at the end of that front straight. If so, been there...
You might consider driver's edge at MSR Houston next. Great organization and great track.
Randy likes it... a lot.

Way too long. This is a great one with video to reference for both cars.
Sucks they didn't do the lighting lap this year. That's another great benchmark.
Even though it's pretty ill defined, I'd say any brand that designs a car to be "track ready" like the veloster (actually has an HPDE warranty). The corolla s is just an appearance package and would probably overheat or break during their testing. You can beat the hell out of that Hyundai all...
I don't care to read articles like these in depth, but my guess is the Hyundai is giving the owner a ton of performance for the money. It has a DCT, ediff, race seat, etc. It won't win many drag races or big track lap times, but you could win autocrosses in it and get tons of seat time for very...
Should be 3350lb, but we haven't weighed it. I've thrown it around a little and it definitely feels 500lbs lighter than my ZLE. He'll be kicking my ass at autox and short tracks soon there's no doubt.
I felt the exact same way last year, but I looked a little closer at the Veloster N helping my son find a daily drivable car with an HPDE warranty and that is one hell of a track car for the money. He bought a turbo 4 1le instead. It's amazing the laptime performance you can get for around $30K...
Well deserved win! Congrats to you 500 owners and thanks again Ford for stepping up and giving us more choices.
... with that said, that TRX is speaking to me. I really like going fast off-road...
