So I went to Hallett raceway in oklahoma yesterday and met a few guys... I asked around and was able to ride in a. Winning mustang(only one with a passenger seat). I couldn't believe the grip these cars have! And to know that the camaros are right there with him! These are all stock mounting points with upgraded components. So I was expecting them to handle like a stock car. Every turn I was thinking there is no way we will make it. But we did! To anyone running cmc or anything for that matter your cars are unbelievable!

I got to ride in a CMC LT1 Camaro years ago and YES, I came away very impressed with the handling also. Gave me hope for my Camaro...lol!

Its hard to make folks believe that 260 rwhp is more than enough power as well. I run right there w/ that same Mustang you rode w/ and I have OEM 12" brakes compaired to his Stop Tech's. Micheal Mosty is a great CMC driver as well.

So we did sorta of meet then... I was working grid and sitting under the canopy when you traded with Reagan and got in the car with Michael.
These cars do handle much better than folks think they do and they are certainly faster and more powerful than people assume 260hp will be. |

But then again... Most cars don't weigh as little either.
Ross, if you never pointed me towards mike, I would have never gotten a ride. So thank you! Such a great time I plan on using vacation to say the weekend next year. I'm so hooked that before I planed on not getting into competition. But now I'm thinking time trial. |
