Pics of your Boss 302 or S197 Mustang at the track!

While I live in SoCal, and my 2012 Boss has been @ CVR, BW and WSIR (Big Track), I was recently @ Hallett, one of my favorite tracks I’ve raced on.

Pics from HMRC (taken June 2022) and Big Willow (taken May 2022). I was working the NASA event @ WSIR as the Pace Car driver, and giving rides in my Boss.

FWIW, even though it’s an S197 thread, this was my previous ride, raced at some 17 different race tracks across the USA:

Took second place in street class in SGTC! Over a second off my PB, but it was real hot out there, so that’s my excuse .

Congrats and that is a great shot of your Blue Beast!!

It’s not on track, but it was shortly before this shot. Got to get my son in the left seat and put in his first laps learning how to have fun and stay safe on track.

Here's me demonstrating the slow (fun) way of taking a corner.

Pictures from this morning‘s test and tune @ LSIR. I was supposed to go back out (after dealing with contact issues, dammit), but somehow I ended up with a DS flat tire, ending my day.







Thanks to my nephew Finley for being my own personal track photographer.

Pocono SCCA Track Night yesterday. Great weather fortunately, which at Pocono is always a crap shoot.

How does your friend's Scat Pack handle? My friend has a Charger Hellcat and it wallows like a pig. He's one of those guys you want to pass in the curves but once on the straight he walks away. So glad he stays in Novice. Lol.

Must be like chasing a GT500 on the straight. I wanted to open the door and start flint stoning! 200+ extra hp is probably won't happen on the top end but depending on the driver mid range might be I different story.

Hp is the stretch and who is the stretcher??????????...............Time will tell......................................Ford seems to be the last of "the Hooligans"........................

IMHO, the wide body cars handle better than you'd expect. Granted he has no fear out on track which helps tremendously. I was following him for while and you can see they won't hold quite the same line through mid corner. I was running between 1:49-1:51 on my better laps and he was running a pretty consistent 1:51-1:52 when we weren't stuck in traffic. There was another WBSC Charger there and I think he eventually ran a 1:50. This was a decent pace for the Intermediate group but some of the Advanced guys will run high 1:30's to low 1:40's from what I've seen.

Good times only happen on good days....the best of us wallow with the worst of us on the bad ones.................and so the both shall meet.........................

I agree with this. Radford Racing School in Arizona uses the Hellcat Demon wide body. Their head instructor said they like the platform for training because you can really feel the movement/transfer of weight. I turned 20-25 laps and was pleasantly surprised with the handling.
