Charley that's pretty awesome to run the car with all other cars so close by. I would be afraid some yahoo would do something stupid and wipe me out. I think we all appreciate what BALLS it takes to do that with a special car like the MULE.

I can see Jody grinning from ear to ear. Mark is quite the driver, pretty neat stuff for a bunch of posers!!

Hey Jody what shoes was Charley wearing, the race Velcros, LOL.

LOL..Like Mark passing 2 cars on the downhill straight at about 100 when the back car decides to pass also and never looked to see Mark was coming around him. This is in the SL65. Mark is doing 100 with 2 wheels in the grass still gassing it to get around them and then had to brake hard to make the hard left turn. They black flagged Mark but didn't realize he got crowded off the track. There was nothing else he could do. He explained what happened to them so they said be careful and go clean all the grass out of the left front fog light before going back on the track. From where Jody and I were all we saw was him passing 2 cars before the turn. We couldn't tell he was in the grass. Somewhere I have a pic of the leftover grass stuck in the fog light.

High fives to you Charlie for running that beautiful thing. I got three different phone calls from people who I know that were out there asking if I know the guy with the bat-$hit-crazy twin turbo Camaro.

Hey, next time let us know when you are going to go stretch el mules legs. I just wanna see the darn thing in person some time.

Grow up??? What's that. My 22 year old son is more grown up than me.

As women say: Boys and men, only difference is the price of their toys.

Thank you Charley and Jody for posting about this event!! It is sooo awesome to hear the Mule getting some well deserved track time. The pics look great too and nothing is more fun than beating the cars up on a road course.
Does anyone have any more pics of the mustangs that were out there? I would love to see some 67-68 fastbacks in action.

Un--freakin--real! It would be nice to hear some lap times as compared to other cars like the GT3 or even the V-twizzy Benz. I've driven an SL65 and those cars accelerate faster than my synapse-challenged brain can process data. I can only imagine how the Mule runs. Can you guesstimate the output at 8lbs of boost?

I can't wait for the conspiracy theorists to chime in: "That car? No way! It's too expensive. Ain't no way it made it saw track time. The pix must be photochopped."

Thank you for the pix.

p.s. Frank, when you grow up it's better to be Stielow. He still gets to enjoy the Mule without having to wait on line at the D.M.V.
