CMC Race Video - Carolina Motorsports Park - F-Body Road Racing and Autocross Forums

Video from the May 3rd NASA Mid-Atlantic CMC race at Carolina Motorsports Park.

I like the view from the front row. But the Mustangs did not like having an F-Body up there, so they went to new shaved Toyo's and I was left with my 4 race old ones. Oh well. I had nothing for Mike Morris's Mustang all weekend. I did manage to keep Kent Lydic behind me for a number of laps. The real racing begins at about the 6:45 mark of the video. Kent kept getting a run on me out of turn 8. I had gotten into a bad habit the prior time at the track to just leave it in 4th through that turn (you know what they teach you in HPDE, eliminate shifts). I needed to drop to third gear there. Doing that on Sunday, I dropped about 1/2 second off my lap times.

I had no trouble out braking the Mustangs, until my brakes gave out on the last lap and I almost punted the FFR. Time for some ducting on those bad boys.

Yes, the car pushes...
