Default Took the Mustang to NJMP after 3 years away from the track (video)

Just got back from NH (tired of being a Ford/Lincoln salesman), decided to take my daily driver to the track since the 928 still has a blown head gasket.

I realize these are pretty sloppy, but this was more about having fun (scaring my passenger) than trying to set track records.

Best lap was a 1:18... not great, but a step in the right direction.

Impressions on the Moostang: aside from hopping around on the bumps (solid axle), it was surprisingly good for a road car. Only issue was that the brakes were gonzo after 4x20 min sessions.

Enjoy!

Wow, where did your passenger go at the 9 second mark? I'm impressed how he disappeared until 30 seconds, then reappears ON/OFF! And you only seemed to lose it a few times before I had to go watch Diner Dives an Drive ins..

That's the idea... as long as it stays shiny side up

That's a motocross helmet... NJMP allows them as long as they are Snell certified.

Too bad it wasn't a La Ferrari!
