Johnny Cash Mustang Replacement

Not sure this car's gearing is appropriate for autox but Brooksville is probably a good place to begin to learn how to drive it.

Johnny Cash Mustang Replacement

RS is Liz’s Daily driver. What a fun commuter ride!

GT 350 is a garage and track queen. Not sure it’s a good Autocross car.

Johnny Cash Mustang Replacement

Look what showed up on Wednesday ...

Not really a replacement. The Johnny Cash Mustang was one-of-a-kind. I have wanted a GT350 since 1966.

June 3rd - Past and Gone

The Focus RS has so many driver control settings it will take awhile to figure out how best to set it up for each autocross.

Here's what I have been working on for the last three years - building a fleet of Fords and the best team of pest & termite technicians in the USA:

If you know anyone with a pest or termite need in Tampa Bay, please let me know. We'll take really good care of them.

Re: Weighing each corner of a car

Met with Chris at Speed Syndicate. Definitely knows how to set-up a car. Going to start setting the car up for the track so autox for us will become test and tune only, at least with the Mustang.

Weighing each corner of a car

Have you tried Race Gas on the North East corner of Park and 49th?
Yes - that's where I buy the 110 Octane Sunoco.

Re: POLL : your thoughts about an Advanced Driver school

I am always open to more instruction. I'm sure Liz and I would attend (driving the BRZ since the Mustang still is a one-seater).
