LOLRoad racing is not tolerated in here
LOL
I love the road racing. The GT series is my second favorite type of racing next the F1. I've never run my car out on a real road course (not the little cone set-up) but it seems like it would be a blast. In reality, I doubt either of my cars are up to it, especially in the braking department. I would imagine it's very demanding and would expose every single weakness the car and driver has. lol It would be a blast to take my car around Laguna Seca but I probably wouldn't survive.

Yeah I hear ya. My car is actually built way stronger for corner carving than my skills are. The brakes are probably the weakest point since I don't have huge calipers yet....next upgrade hopefully
I've got plenty of power and plenty of suspension.....but no race skillz. I'd love for someone with some skillz to get in my car and show me what she really has though

I'll be over in a few.
haha, i'm just finally getting use to drag racing, still not use to the whole "hurry up and wait" theory but it's growing on me.
I'll show you how to throw that thing left and right - be in Cincinattie this April!

One word, over and over again, "Practice! Practice! Practice!" Takes some time and it's harder than it use to be to beat up on some of the newer cars that show up, but you have to get your seat time it. Start with autocross then hit up some driving schools...And get some brakes on that car. Good luck and have fun!

My ultimate goal is to build my car into a track car, but the funds just aren't there yet. I haven't put a dime into my suspension besides springs, and my brakes are the same pathetic '85 brakes it's had for 24 years.
Honestly, lately i've REALLY been thinking about saying screw it and yank the swaybar and get some 90/10s and a set of Welds and going full blown drag/street with it since it's not likely that i'll ever road race it. It's more expensive and harder on the car, and with 2 drag strips within 30 minutes of my house, it's just too easy and still loads of fun.
Plus, when i wanna hit the corners, i've still got the Merkur, which will already out handle the stang as it is.
You probably make plenty of power to make up on the straights for anything the Merkur might have over you in the corners. It would have to be a tight autox setup for me to have a chance
I do have Merkur buddies who'll run ya thoughOh, and i'll race you in the 1/4....bring it buddy
When i start putting money into the suspension, i'm getting 5 way shocks and struts and probably airbagging the right rear spring...hopefully that'll give me a good balance between cornering and drag. I'm also gonna be looking into making a quick disconnect setup for the front swaybar so i can just unhook it from the frame to drag and then connect it back for the street. We'll see how that goes..
If i had it my way i would slap an IRS in it and call up Griggs and have them throw the catalog at it, but we're talkin 5k+ just in suspension parts. They have a badass tubular K member setup that eliminates the shock towers alltogether and uses a double A arm setup. Their shop car doesn't even use a front swaybar because it bites so hard in the corners.
WTF i post weeks ago about how if anyone knew about any tracks i could road race on the weekend and no one postedi didnt do all my suspension work cause it looks cool
bring it on, but im sorry your not gonna have a chance
