I know this stuff usually gets posted in the autox/road racing section but I wanted to shed some light on some SN95's on the track at Thunderhill the past weekend.
Myself, Snakebit, 9cobra7, MtnDew98, and S4oshus were all out there in full force having some fun! I didnt get any pics of S4oshus' Porsche but that thing is a beast! Also, I only got one shot of MtnDew98's car when it was on the dyno ![[Frown]](frown.gif)
In my opinion, this is how a mustang SHOULD BE driven...on the track hitting the turns! This was my first time out and definitely not my last...you guys gotta try this!

Yea, it was a blast for sure JR! I've done autox with my old 96 saleen and it was fun too, but you never get to reach speeds nearly as close to those you reach on a real track! Road racing/open tracking is on another level of FUN! Your IRS will thank you for bringing it out and the KB will have fun openning up on the straights ![[burnout]](graemlins/burnout.gif)

Yea its open track...Snakebit and I were running HPDE 1. Yea, I think they allow pretty much anything that will pass their tech inspection. There was actually a Dodge Ram pickup on the track in one of my sessions ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

Honestly I really dont know. I never really paid attention to my speedo. My eyes were focused too much on the track. At one point I did glance down while on a straight and it was well over 100mph...but then again my speedo is off too

I have only been up to Thunder Hill, and it was in a friend of mines, bosses 318i, with an s52 swap. I remeber looking at his speedo, 3/4's of the way through the straight, and it was at 135+/-.. I almost yaked though because of how much force is on your body going from that speed, down to 40 or so, and hammering back on it up too 120+. Definately exhilerating, more so than a straight track I believe.

I clocked Ian at 225mph down the front straight, but seriously its not how fast your going down the straight its how fast through the corners which is the fun part.
Ian I don't remember you popping your hood once buddy, let that motor cool in the pits. I burn about a quart of oil in one day and both my cobras do that on track. Fun day for sure

I bet it was one of those e30 bimmers, right?!?1 Those things fly on the track! Along with the so-called gay miatas...both seem to be very fast cars on the track!

Only 225mph?!?! I swear I thought I was moving faster than that I actually did pop my hood once after Jay's car overheated...I'll make sure to do it next time, thanks for the tip Good times for sure!

Was the HPDE hosted by the track? or what organization? I've been looking for a track or Org that's more lenient on Vert's needing a roll bar... i really don't want a roll bar, but damn it i wanna start tracking this car this year...

It was through NASA...I'm not sure what their rules are regarding convertibles, but if I had a vert I'd WANT a roll bar for extra security. Come on out and bring the Saleen to the track ![[Whoo Whooooo!]](graemlins/woowoo.gif)

Great pics Ian, was a great weekend.
My best lap time was 2:12.5 and I usually hit about 115mph at the end of the straight. I run in time trials and we race against the clock.
TT is the group after HPDE4, beyond TT are the race groups where its a totally different world.
If you drive a vert you need some type of roll bar.
