Video from recent track session @ Summit Point WV

[supersuckers]

Nothing fancy. Group 1 track session @ Summit Point Motorsports Park, WV. There's a mixed bag of skill sets since it's "group 1". Nice little Mustang GT spin @ the 24 min mark during the cool down lap. Sorry about the audio.

Would love to see some more MS3's at Summit Point. I've gotten faster at the track more so than any mod on the market.

Car setup:
Kumho Ecsta XS 235/40-18 on 18x8
Carbotech XP8 brake pads
CPE SRI

You can push the car as much as you are comfortable with. Group 1 is pretty tame and everyone has an instructor. The Main track is reasonably high speed so I have not noticed any excessive tire wear. Upgrading brake pads and fluid is recommended if you plan to "push it". The experience has grown my appreciation for the vehicle and made me a safer driver. Highly recommended if you enjoy driving.

What brake fluid are you using?

What brake fluid are you using?

I'm currently using Wilwood EXP 600 which has worked flawlessly. Unfortunately it's $20/pint.

I plan to switch to ATE blue which is ~$12/liter. Plenty of people that race use it without incident. I just need to remember to change it every spring.

Once a YEAR!?!

Yup. I don't want to be "that guy" driving into the tire wall. I go 1 year on the MS3 and 3 years on my other cars.

Tirerack recmmends every 2 years.
