I’ll update as the day goes on. I’ll do at least 5, maybe 6 sessions. It’s going to be hot here (104).
Session 1: It works. So far. Hopefully it continues this when the heat creeps up.
Zero fuel cut. And I set a new PR of 1:25.5 which is pretty damn good for a not-dedicated race car.
I also...
I ordered and installed these on my Mach 1. IMO, this is how Ford should have done it from the factory. Shipping was fast and install was easy.
disclaimer: I have no financial interest but just like to share info about good products.

Per a different post I made, I decided to try DBA race pads at Hallett today. However, I was left underwhelmed and concerned during the bed in process last week, so I put my G-Loc R16's back on and waited until the last session to try the DBA's. I installed the pads and did a quick bedding...
Tracking my M1 today. Hot AF in Oklahoma (100 F by 11 am). I did swap the stock fuel pump out for the DW400 but still having fuel cut issues when tracking out of a fast left turn. Now I am getting fuel cut/hesitation when I am over 6500 RPM. Livernois Flex tune. I did go from using full E85...
I just put these on my Mach 1 and will be testing/reporting on these this Sunday. I have been exclusively using G-Loc R12 and R16 but want to try out others. Has anyone used these and if so, thought? Flyhalf's post about his car being faster than the GTD got me stalking his build page and I...
A little taste of HPDE. I wasn't going 10/10 because the track has a hard rule where if you spin, lose control, or go off track with a passenger then you are done for the day. Also, I think it is time for long tube headers.
Looking through pics of my track day yesterday, I saw this and was a bit shocked. Despite the massive size, I had zero issues passing the C6 and I was lapping the same time as my friend in the 911. 95 degrees with 75% humidity and the car had zero issues with heat. I did, however, have a...
My 2016 GT (see sig) has been posted to FB marketplace for over a month. Car is in great condition, clean title in my name, no wrecks, etc.
I have had maybe 6 people inquire about it and zero people actually show up to see it in person. Price started at a measly $26K (to account for some...
I have owned and sold several cars, but none were as modified as my 2016 GT (mods in sig). Car is posted on FB Marketplace at the moment.
I did note anyone wanting to take it for a test drive needs to show me a valid DL and proof of insurance. I've never asked this before, but I don't want...
Offseason additions to my M1 included Steeda 2 piece front rotors, titanium shims, and G-Loc R16F/R12R pads. I already use Castrol SRF fluid, Steeda SS lines, and Vorschlag (sp?) deflectors. I had zero issues with braking hard and no "cooking" of the pads when back in the paddock. Usually...
I guess this question could go for any 200TW track use tire. I use these for 20 min HPDE sessions, not AutoX.
I just put a new set on my Mach 1, but the set on my GTI has some wear on 2 of the tires. I'll post pics when i get home.
It might be okay for one lap times to post in a magazine, but not for real track use.

As my affinity for HPDE has quickly turned from hobby to obsession, I have been researching a vehicle to tow my car(s) to the track. This wasn't much of an issue the last few years when I was using Conti ECS02 tires, but now that I am addicted to Potenza RE71RS's, I'd like to minimize the...
I am officially in the club now. Seems like everyone at the track uses Apex wheels. I ordered the EC-7 (Anthracite) for my Mach 1. After debating extensively on size, I went with 18 x 11 ET52 for all 4 corners. I know I'll need the extended studs and a 25mm spacer to make it work, but I like...
I received the recall letter for the fuel pump issue yesterday. Always nice to get a letter saying "ya, we put a defective part on your car and we do not have a fix for it yet. But if you do drive it, just know that you can get fuel loss while driving that could lead to catastrophic events"...
Track day #6 in my 2021 Mach 1 HP. Hallett Motor Speedway in Jennings, Oklahoma. I know, you are thinking "why the F would anyone do an HPDE in July in Oklahoma?" Well, kudos to Ford engineers because despite 100 degree F (37.8 C for you all who live in countries that have not put a man on the...
The TL/DR version.......I love this car more and more every time I track it. Here are the vids.
Hallett Motor Speedway in Jennings, Oklahoma (I know...where?).
Temps.....hot.....humid.....June in Oklahoma. 95+ high with 88% humidity to start the day and around 55% mid day, Zero issues...
Granted, driver skill, confidence, cojones, and experience account for the vast majority of lap times, but let's discuss this.
What cars have you seen at the track that leave you not regretting your decision to buy a Mustang?
I'll start:
Honda Civic Type R/Acura Integra Type S. I have...
Hallett Motor Speedway in Jennings Oklahoma. This was my 4th time doing HPDE with my Mach 1. There was a little bit of a change up however.....we went backwards! This was only my 3rd time going CW overall and my first time CW in this car. The first time I went CW in any car was my very first...
