My V (coilovers/brake ducting) SHOULD be done...(maybe even tomorrow)
So I'm planning to go

Who's going?
.....Any GT500's? Mustang Boss? GTR?

[T.J.]

I might do it! I think I'd need a brake flush / new pads before going, maybe I should talk to Autoscope about that...

[midnightdorifto]

How quick do these fill up? I've got a track day this Saturday and might have some stuff to fix between now and then which might preclude my attendance.

Always wanted to do a day at ECR though...

[tsaleen]

yep! I need some new pads as well.

[citylightva]

Swap your pads after...:p Brakes are overrated anyways.!!

Sure, I'll just slow down by ramming into the back of your car on the turns :driver: haha.

ECR has a open track day about once a month
check out their website:

July and Aug is tough for me, I don't like 100+++ (temp) race days...

:laugh:

[OKcruising]

Saw your car up at GSS I believe.

I always liked the idea of a 1CTSV going around a road course.

Post vids!

You'll be ramming a ghost :cool: This piggy car is not going to ECR, mostly because I do not want to have to replace my front rotors :argh:

[nolocontendere]

I'll be at NASA race at Hallet that weekend

2011 Mustang GT...I sold 2010 GT500 could not keep my ass out of it (racked up too many miles).

2011 Mustang GT 5.0 is a great track car
I know someone who ran the 2011 GT 5.0 with brembo package
AND Griggs suspension with some tires @ ECR last year turned a 2:015!!!!!
and that was his first time @ ECR about 3rd time GT on a track
.....rest of car was STOCK!!!!

My best time @ 2:13 with my 4k lbs V
I hope to trim off some time with new coilovers and brake ducting...

[trentor]

My is stock with a cheap ebay suspension package :whistle:.Thanks for buying it, by the way. If the springs and struts are vastly mismatched, just remember....non-refundable. :deal:

Just kidding, all Ford Racing components.

[RacerCaddy]

FYI
my friend is driving up from Houston and going to run his 199 FRC Vette

Now let's hope decent temp's

[RacerCaddy]

V got new end links, fresh oil change, brake bleed, and corner balanced yesterday

Ready to go :-)

[DFW GT500]

Very tempting, but I just watched some videos of ECR. Looks like there are lots of walls!

Hmmmm

Then ya, yours was the one I saw.
I was up kickin' tires on vette parts.

Report back on the coilovers!

[Sn8k]

Hmmmm

There is only one wall on straight away and it's not a factor. You come up to it from last turn relatively slow and then you haul ass toward first turn. Bring that GT500, so I can spank it with the slow 5.0.:bandit:

I can second that,
I have run @ ECR several times, and the one wall is not an issue.

come on bring the GT500 beast out...
I know a guy bring his new stock 2012 Mustang Boss to run @ ECR

[Brett]

Think I'll hit up a DE day at ECR so I can make the next one y'all do. :driver:


Have fun guys.

Someone put those Fords in their place! :p

confused,
......so you coming on Sat?

[Brett]

No. It said open track day?

Me + new track = time in the grass. :p


Better to do it in a learning environment.

Come on out...beginners and some intermediate classes will have instructors with you @ no additional charge.

[Sn8k]

RacerC, thanks for the initial post, 100+MPH...100 degrees, exhausting but fun.

[RacerCaddy]

ECR was fun and slippery -- greasy tires?
my gps laptimer sucked I need to use external GPS antenna
then my video camera battery died on 4th (and fastest session of the day)
fastest taped laptime was 2:16
I know the coilovers helped in better corner exit speed,

it was great meeting up with DFW Auto Club members

Lets find another event? Dallas Karting Complex...

[Mike CLK Black]

...
fastest taped laptime was 2:16...

That's an excellent time for a car that heavy and high. Throw in the heat and you've got to call that a good day at the track!

Sounds like you guys had fun! Grab an external from eBay. My pBox one was under $10 shipped.

Also, given the recent ECR outing, I tossed up some old ECR data in the lap times thread. When you get your video processed, feel free to post it up. There are a few folks that have been to ECR many times.

FWIW, here's the track record [well, it used to be - haven't seen any news about a faster time recently] 1:39 and change.
