The website has benn updated, finally, and there is a picture of me in the gallery along with other competitors. Go to www.victoriamotorsports.ca and check it out. There is just one me on the backstretch going about 70mph hard on the brakes making a slight right turn. You can see how high the back of the car is starting to go!

If you didn't read my earlier thread, the top three cars were separated by .12 of a second. 1st was a 2004 Z06, 2nd was a 2002 Honda S2000 and 3rd was me. The rest of the field was about 3.5 seconds behind us. The Mustang handled great, if not for a small error on my part, I would have had first no problem.

Cool picture! Yeah, this car has nasty nose dive under hard braking. I slammed the brakes on one night, and the headlights where pointing 6 feet in front of the car!

Anybody know an easy way to eliminate some of the dive?

Very nice Richard. Glad you got a chance to drive the car like it was meant to be driven! I'm really jealous right now... B)

Next event is on May 14th and I probably will have someone with me to take pictures with my camera so I will be able to post more then. That event will have a lot lof cars show up (if it is not raining) and many of them will be higher end (performance) vehicles.

Stiffer springs? Adjustable shocks?
