    New to the community, have a few questions,

    I am slightly taller, and could not sit in the car with a helmet on until I removed the seat, brought it to a reputable shop, and had them remove some foam padding. What else? Seat harnesses are nice, not only from a safety standpoint but they aid "planting" the driver in position avoiding...

    Engine Temp

    I agree, Dave's modifications worked very well. And I admit to ending my final session a few laps early; as it was out there in 3 consecutive sessions; twice by me and the middle by an instructor in the Blue group. So sure, the temp approached limp mode, and I would back it down for a lap or 2...

    No. Gino was in that fantastic FR 500 S. His FGT was at Carlisle. Properly modded for the next track day. If I have time, I hope to incorporate a few tricks and mods used by Dave and Gino to improve my cars dynamics. Pete S.

    I wrecked another one.

    Very minimal damage is good. There is only one part of the entire video I would change; it is almost the last thing that happens: when you get into the pits I see and hear the emergency brake! Yikes! An ex-Nascar and road racer broke me of that habbit many years ago, especailly when tracking and...

    best wheels/tires for track days are??

    A knowledgable race mechanic on this forum suggested that driving to the limits of the Goodyears before switching to the Hoosiers or anything else was a good idea. I always bring the Goodyears for those events that turn into rain events. Absolutely nothing better than learning in the rain on a...

    Gtjimmy's 2007 lincoln at carlisle

    Though I may agree here, I always enjoy when Joey does post. Joey, I should be driving up for a visit tomorrow: well, later today, after a nap. Hope to be able to pull in somewhere near the other fairly high milage and track-worn FGT section; but it looks a bit cleaner than it did on Monday...

    Gino, this is a ford gt forum. How would it look if I posted the video of you always pulling away from me? You do have one of the ultimate track cars in that FR! Of course, I would prefer the GT for both street and track. Here are a few more of the 'still shots'. The videos I have looked at so...

    Gino was cleaning the road debris from sonic blue after a few hard laps . . . Seriously, I will get him in the mix when I have a moment to sort the photos out a bit better. His car, and Daves, and Mikes, were flying. They are all very good on the track. Pete S.
