Autocross Today

Not a great turn-out due to the expected weather - we had FOG in the Morning and Rain in the afternoon - but fun none-the-less. Here are some photos and video of the event: http://s222.photobucket.com/user/new...?sort=2&page=1

Third fastest for the day behind Datsun 240 Z and E55 AMG Mercedes

Re: Autocross Today

Harry,

Looks like a fun course! We've got to get you some bigger tires!

Cheers,
Bill

Yes, it was a fun course, especially the long sweeper (which was "off camber"). But the start was the most challenging - those turns were sharper than they looked. I think I could have done a bit better if I had slowed down through them. And of course, the rain made it interesting in the afternoon .....

BTW, did you see the video on FaceBook of my son's Mustang at Summit leading a whole pack of V-8's down the straight at the Shenandoah circuit yesterday. God those cars sounded good!

Harry

Re: Autocross Today

Bill, here is the link for the car "following Tom" in the FaceBook video. I think this is a late model Mustang Cobra. He eventually passes Tom in the 1999 Mustang, but the video sure gives a great feel for the Shenandoah circuit. Tom is beginning to get the feel of the Mustang, moving from a Ford STV Focus - quite different to say the least! Also note the STI that passes the Mustang ....

Don't you love the sounds ....

Harry

I stand corrected. That WAS NOT another Mustang following (and passing ) Tom. It was a RX-7 Masda WITH a LS-6 Corvette V-8 in it! Just was corrected by Tom .... I did notice in the video that the speedo and tach were not working quite as expected .....
Here's a pic attached ....

Re: Autocross Today

Harry,

Watched it and I definitely approve it!

Now, if we could just get to work putting an LS6 into a SVX....

Bill
