The track is 4 miles long, I rode in a 2000 Mustang Cobra R and we hit 150mph in three spots, per lap.

Thanks, Wes !! Nice pics. But, I am kinda partial to the whale that washed up. Good looking Blue MM. :D
Was that a video camera mounted between the seats of the GT3?? :dunno:

WOW !
I can't believe I missed that. I go to RA about two-three times a year for the races. BRIC, CART and ALMS. I usually keep an on upcoming events.
Just been to busy lately.
Please do keep usposted for future events!
Great pics!!!

There was a lot of muscle there. Motorheads galore. I did get the sway bars in Todd, and I took out the Eibachs & cut the stock springs 3/4 of a coil instead. The crappy ride was driving me nuts. I had the Metcos & the watts link as well. My tires were Kumho Victoracers. Brakes were just KVR pads all around & Superblue, they are completely shot now.
Almost every car had a video camera mounted.
That was the last event for the season for me.

Some people liked the Marauder, some people did not. One the guys came up to me and told me about all the Marauders that showed up in force at the Woodward Dreamcruise.

I just added up the bill for the brakes from Road America, ouch. Front rotors were toast, front pads gone (KVRs), rear rotors needed machining, rear pads (KVRs) OK.
Oh well better than fraggin a set of 14" Baers.
One more racetrack learned. :)

Finally found a video from the trackday with me in it. The video is taken from a G35 coupe with lots of mods. The video is 36megs & 19 minutes long. I appear at 11:50 (he comes up behind me) and I point him by at 13:55

He has a little trouble identifying a Marauder, and then he thinks I am a cop moonlighting at a race track.
