Track Attack registration now open!

[jwhite]

Booked! Smack in the middle of summer, but booked (again).

You’ll going to love it!
Also quick note. Anyone following the exact break in procedures on their 500? The car I drove at Track Attack, chassis # 693, had 157 miles on the car! Doesn’t Ford recommend 1000 miles before track use??? Lol
I’m guessing it doesn’t matter, lol

The GT350 track attack was the same way. I think my car (#13) had 65 miles on it. It was the first GT350 track attack.

@Tomster, here’s another bit of info I remembered. To the guys going to the track, especially on a regular basis. We were informed once coming in from hot laps, if you stop, even just waiting to get to your spot, put the car in park and get your foot off the break! There is a heat soak spot in calipers that can warp the Front rotors while breaks are on and sitting still.

This is something they teach you at HPDEs. Don’t use the parking brake either as it can cause a hot spot on the rear brakes.

Yep, it was one of the very first things they told us at my first HPDE track day.

Yes, many reasons to do a cool down lap.

Maybe if there is room in the class when I take delivery of mine, I'd be honored to join you both.

I'll have to wait and see.

Edited to add:

@kilobravo , you do vinyl, right? I'm going to need new lettering for my helmet that says GT500. Let me know the cost.

Oh man I would love for you to be there to Tom. I will cross my fingers that happens. I have been wanting your car to show up for a long time, now I REALLY want it to deliver.

@Tomster , when is expected build date?? You’re definitely one who has waited way too long.

I think that's doable, Tom. Measure the height and length of your "GT-350" decal and send it to me.

Also, do the current decals have a clear overlay?

But dude, if you can get in that class, that would be WAY KEWEL!

Its built. Waiting on penske

Hey @kilobravo , when you do @Tomster GT500 vinyl, could you make me some GT350 ?

Tell me what it costs also. Red or black vinyl would look cool on my white helmet.

Shouldnt you just buy a new helmet? New car/new helmet and leave that one ready for the 350's???
