I'm already trying to coax more of my local Mustang buddies to attend the next event with me. The more the merrier right?My goal for this event was to take it easy and try to add more momentum without excessive braking in each run. This was also a suspension, steering and braking shakedown trial. Everything is new and I'm still learning the car.I took my time walking the course and I even went on the novice walkthrough with experienced drivers. Hell, I even studied a print out in my car between passes to mentally commit to trying a new line through the sweepers. Seems I need to work on what you mentioned later in you post, but we'll get to that.You're right. I did get fixated on the pointer cones too much and you can see the car drift towards them. The 51.841 pass was the only real time I was more aggressive on the throttle. Speaking of that pass, there was a cone down from the previous car and I should've stopped to point it out but my mind was already through the next corner.I will work on this.Yeah, this goes back to figuring out what the car wants but I feel the rear tires still needed to drop another PSI to be totally settled. Speaking of settled, it felt like the rear stuck the harder I pushed but the front would roll harder. I believe the sway bar to be too soft and I have an adjustable bar on the way. This was always what had been suggested to me with my setup by the previous owner but I focused on the engine swap.This. This is what I will study the hardest. You did a good job with that analogy and I will look at the next course through that mindset.The driver who rode along with me praised my hand work and focus. He said I seemed to have the basic fundamentals in place and was very smooth on track. Not fast, but smooth. My buddies kept begging for a "hero pass" and now I know what that means. SEND IT!!The other Mustang that was out there with me was this 86 GT and it was 2.9 seconds faster. She has a 347, a full cage with a Steeda 5-link in the rear but stock K with coilovers in the front. He had the classic Fox chassis inside front tire lift and brake lock issue all day. Nice guy who offered up advice all day.[ATTACH=full]12663[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]12664[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
