'67 Mustang Coupe by bwkelley76

2 minute(s) of a 78 minute read

One of my "mediocre" test runs kept it in first gear and raised the rev limiter and just still too much gear. 35.90 seconds.

Best run in 2nd gear 34.760. Not bad! ...especially for lugging the engine the entire track.

Learned two very important things.... I NEED POWER STEERING (bent steering wheel and my arms hurt like hell) and I NEED LESS GEAR! ...3.55's or 3.73's would do the trick versus the 4.10's.  

Had fun!

Here's a video one of my co-workers took of my first EVER run. Not too shabby! Was able to shave off about 5 seconds in 6 runs for a best of 34.760

Just arrived home from Mather Field with the Mustang. This was "our" 1st official SCCA Autocross event. Lino Chestang from Chassisworks rode along on all 4 runs and Carl Ogren, also from Chassisworks was there to pay tribute in the AM. Despite a few starter solenoid issues early in the morning (all fixed now thanks to a joint effort between Carl, Lino, and myself) everything went well. We qualified with a 69.936 run and finished after four runs with a final and best run time of 60.840. (Major improvement) Zero adjustments were made to the car, it ran great as-is. Didn't hit any cones either. Not bad!
