Action shot



Two weeks until next track day.

To do list:
Install 3" exhaust
bleed brakes
prep new set of front rotors
find unleaded race gas in SE Michigan

In other news, the wrecked SVO has been completely picked dry...its ready to be sent to scrap. Russell - wont have time to remove the quarters. If anyone in SE michigan is looking for a rust free rear half of a mustang let me know. otherwise by next week it will be at the scrap yard.

How do you get an axle through the door in the fence by yourself? very carefully

New Seats

The 'ol girl has one more track event for the season. Will be at Mid-Ohio Raceway on Monday. Just got a set of race rain tires on 94 mustang rims that look sweet b/c the color of the rim matches the color of the car. Also picked up a another set of silver painted 94 Mustang rims, so i have two sets of rims that are 17's for next season; plan on having one set for the race rain tires and one set for the race slicks.


My buddy was upgrading the seats in his 2013 Mustang track pack, so i bought the Recaro's off of him. After a few hours of cutting and repositioning/rewelding the feet of the seat frame I was able to make them fit quite nicely into the SVO. This is proof that S197 seats fit in a fox body with a few mods.

Mid Ohio

Had only two major issues at the track -

High pressure air charge line kept blowing b/c i dont have beads on the tubes (will change that for next year). I took the pipe off and hammered a bead on it using the rental Uhaul trailer as an anvil.


And a mental mistake on track resulted in me playing in the sand for a bit.
