Friday, September 25, Day 3. First day of competition at SCCA Time Trials Nationals. I had a total of 3 sessions on track. After the previous days' struggles, I came with the mindset to focus on my driving, try to get faster and to have fun. The first session went well. The car is still making the loud noise turning right but I tried to not focus on the sound and just drive. My time was quicker than Thursday's practice sessions, which made me feel good. Second track session went well but I was about a second off my previous time, which kinda bummed me out. Third session came at the end of the day and i was feeling great about my driving. Halfway into our first timed lap a Miata went 4 off and sent the whole course to black flag. After about 5 mins of sitting on pit lane our group headed back out and i was determined to drive faster. I really focused on using more throttle in areas and trying to take turns faster. Unfortunately I had a moment of fog brain just before the sink hole and got a little lost, which really pissed me off. I guess I was a little more determined because my next lap I dropped over 7 seconds from my previous fastest lap!! I would mention that Jack Baruth gave me a little coaching session prior to my 3rd session, but I wouldn't want him to get an ego about it. So, I will mention that I asked my paddock neighbor (who has a very fast time) about tire pressures and ended up dropping my pressures down about 5psi to 31psi "warm".

Great thread! I had a 2013 Mustang GT. I regret that I never got to take it to a track and really see what it could do. Looks like a blast!
