He was having fun as of yesterday. Car seems to be dialed in pretty well and was hauling ass. Ron was there tweaking little stuff but pretty impressive for all the work that was just done to it.

Greg and Ron were dialing the car in and by the last session Greg was saying it felt like the Lotus. Last session of the day he had a car go off track right in front of him which caused Greg to spin. The rear popped a pinion seal and she was leaking pretty good.
I loaded up from there. Pretty sure he was running the Lotus today.

Car was running 3:47 for the 5 mile config.... I have no idea if that's good bad or indifferent.


The Mustang is like a completely different animal now... totally neutral handling - and just had so much grip... and best yet - didn't do anything weird. The motor is more powerful FEELING. It also just flat sounds better. The brakes give great feel and were very effective. All in all.... WONDERFUL.


The pinion seal issue was unforeseen and really not fixable at the track -- so I said "that's why I have a back up car!".... We'll fix this later as it's a very minor deal.

I can't tell you guys how impressed I am with what Ron has been able to do with the old girl. It's not just the parts.... it's how they all work together. I can't say "this" was better or "that" made a difference. The cars running gear is all new... and it ALL made a difference. Where I used to lift and roll thru turns 7 and 8 --- I'm now taking WOT.... that's just HUGE! The off camber turn 3 is just no biggie now -- where I was always just waiting for the ass to step out.... My confidence level and fun factor just went up by 100 fold. Amazing. What a great weekend!

That is a beautiful picture right there. Perfect contrast imo.
Glad to here is close to being or is dialed. Hard work=rewards.
Too bad about the pinion seal but i guess thats all part of the fun. Beats what i was doing all weekend...
