Fire extinguisher and rollbar mount installed!! I hope I never have to use it, but if I do, this extinguisher is filled with @h3rperformance's Halotron1 clean agent which quickly turns to a gas once expelled. It will put out the fire, is safe for use on electronics and will not require any cleanup afterwards. Plus, it looks really cool, too! #safetyfirst #trackcar #racecarstuff #racecar #s197mustang #cargirl #MustangsofInstagram #mustanggt #rollbar #hillclimber #firefriday #halotron #halguard#h3rperformance#safetyequipment #PlayAllTheMotorsports #RyanCheekRacing @ Black Mountain, North Carolina

I took Racecar out for a drive yesterday. About 2hrs of continuous driving through the mountains. The car is running great, throttle response is up, and I'd say she's even a little more peppy after cleaning the PCV hoses, the throttle body and replacing both CAM shaft position sensors. This was my second time driving the car with her new 18" GT500 wheels and Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar tires. Those 220TW tires are sticky!

Overall, yesterday's drive really made me excited for the Chasing the Dragon Hillclimb coming up in 2 weeks. I'm really starting to feel in-tune with this car. Understanding her strengths and weaknesses, and adapting my driving style accordingly. Compared to my s550 GT (Hank), in Racecare I have to brake earlier but can get back on the power sooner. She gains speed quickly, and can be a little deceiving on how fast she's actually going (feels a little slower than actual speed), so it takes a little mindfulness to brake a little earlier. The GT500 Brembo brakes on the car provide firm, quick braking, but do require more pedal input than my S550.

Racecar, and I, did have a close call on our drive yesterday. But the guardian angels were paying attention and disaster was avoided! Enjoy the video!
