do you hit the brakes and the gas going into the corners? hitting the brakes transfers the weight to the front end for a little better turn in and of course hitting the gas at the same time will keep you going.

Very neat Darrell. I am glad one of us is getting a lot of enjoyment from our Stangs. Drove mine top down the last two days and really had a good time.

That is cool Darrell. What is that clicking sound I keep hearing in your videos. I hear it when you are decelerating and turning hard?

I got a remote mic on the gopro camera in the trunk, I'm trying to pick up the exhaust sound better. The clicking sounds are the Hoosier Racing tires picking up bits of sand and gravel and then throwing it up into the wheel wells. The track is out in the open and is very dirty. I also had a run were I spun the tires in high rpms in 2nd while turning left in the skid pad part and couldn't correct it in time to make the next set of cones. I hook the cone under my car and took it all the way back to the staging area before they pulled in out. It was just 1/2 a cone then.

Taking the mach to the strip for the first time tonight for cordovas midnight mayhem. Feels strong with a tune on it, excited to see what it'll do. Unfortunately I'm on regular street tires for tonight though. But we'll see what she does!

Terrible night just awful. Racing is from 11pm-3am. At 1120 a GTO blows his radiator and continues driving most the way down the track leaking coolant the whole way so it was going to be a long wait for clean up, instead 5 minutes later the whole place loses power for AN HOUR AND A HALF! Luckily they were cleaning that up in the dark. Power comes back and they didn't get it all so they keep cleaning but do the burn it contest while we wait. So I hop in the staging lanes and wait. Another car spills something, then a freaking car drives so far off the end of the track in the gravel they can't get it with a truck all then they have to winch it out which took another 45 minutes ...I got to run twice. First time wheel hopped bad through first and second getting a slow 14.6 then second pass I missed second getting a 14.5. Car felt great on the tune just wish I could've got to run more last night to get a feel for that car at the track.

Sucks about the other issues at the track. I've been through that, it's no fun.

10-4 good buddy, keep the shiny side up and watch for the smoke bears in the weeds.


Been on vacation this last 2 weeks and got 2 more to go. The blue turd has got to go. When to the Ford dealer I use and they offer me 15800 on a 2013 Focus Titanium. Thought that was a little low so I visited another Ford dealer and was offer 17500. Showed the 1st Ford Dealer and he says "oh yea we can match that" WTF. I hate dealers. Should have a red 2014 focus st by next Tuesday.
