here's a vid my buddy edited from this past weekend at the San Jaouqin Fairgrounds in Stockton using his go pro on my car as well as his. It's him in all the views you see. My car is obvioulsy the red cobra. He did some awesome video work! enjoy!

pretty cool video, looks like a lot of fun. Quite a few domestic cars there, which is quite unusual at an autocross event, normally they are swamped with miatas, evos, and subies lol. Im a sucker for track day fun.. but thats probably because although i have my mustang now, im a miata enthusiast at heart and regret selling mine every day. Very cool to see your cobra tearing up asphalt thats not straight.

yeah I kinda made sure that there wasn't any way I would catch myself hitting the drag strip. wanted to do a little more with it. and yeah our chapter is chocked full of corvette guys mostly. which makes sense cuz they are definitely damn good on the track. miatas are out there as well as you saw with my buddies. it's all in good fun!

how fast could get you goin'? it seemed like kinda a small track (???)

MustangChris · Aug 8, 2012

yeah its a bad ass shot. the one from next to the wheel on my car i clip a cone with too. My buddy did all the editing. Um as for speeds....there's not a single moment when you have time to look down at the speedo really but i have tested how fast i can go in 2nd gear out on the street and got to about 55mph which on certain courses i have hit before. This event location doesn't have much room for course design but this course was actually built pretty well with the crossovers to use the space well. the brakes on the cobra are damn good...and my last 2 runs i was diving it pretty deep into some of those corners.

Nice job!

Don't take it personal, most mustang forums are full of drag, show, and cruise folks. It's up to us to teach them how to drive.

Good vids, I gotta get a GoPro in my GT, show you guys the mayhem of CMC racing.

I miss going to autocross events, I haven't gone for a couple years now. They moved the events probably 2 hours away normal driving. I really dont want to break something that far away from home.

ba#97 · Aug 9, 2012

Thanks guys! yeah one thing i hae definitely notied, and I'm getting better at it is if you want to be fast in autox, you better be ripping on it hard. My brother drives the grey 2008 gt and his was the sacramento chapter e street prepared champion 2 years ago, his car is insanely dialed in but when you ride with him....he drives harder than you could ever imagine yourself doing...and that's how you have to drive in autocross. no beating around the bush. he got in my car on numerous occasions with me in the passenger seat and after the run I go.....wait.....my car can do that? lmao. I'm getting better though. haha. hence me driving pretty damn hard in these vids. lmao.

Hell yeah we do! haha...please get some vids for us from out there....I wish i was running with you guys...I actually had a cmc car without a motor I was going to finish but had the cobra as well and needed to choose which one to press with. lol.
