Default shared the track with a 2011 mustang

Sunday the 24th I attended the last official Solocross event of the season with the CCCPR here in P.R. I finished 4th overall and 2nd in my class. (My class rocks!) I've run all year on R compound tires and for this last event switched to Advan AD08's to get a better feel for what the car needs. (I learned a lot, another thread)

The real news was the 2011 Mustang with the Brembo package. It was a auto. He finished 1rst overall. He was stock. Stock tires too. Did I say he was STOCK? Ford has finely gotten it's act together. He dynoed at 380 rwhp so his weight to hp is better than mine but not by enough to say the power beat me. (my rwhp is 290) The car handles accelerates and stops. He was the only car on street tires that had a faster time. It's a capable machine in the hands of a competent driver. I was impressed.

The other cars that finished ahead of me were a BMW ITS race car, a MR2 with R Compound tires (I was faster than him when I had my Pilot Sport Cups) and a Neon ...... I know .... sucks ...... full race car as well. Cage etc.

I have a couple of videos that I will post eventually so keep your eyes peeled.

I need to call Rob ..... again.
