True, but we're talking about THIS event, not some OTHER event... Be my guest! Go join one of those orgs that do autocross or do track days or whatever... THIS ISN'T that event.

And see im Of the opposite mentality - my car is my baby, I don’t WANT to push her to the limit and potentially break her. Better to learn the limits on their car and let them deal with the increased wear and tear. It’s the same car unless you’ve made major modifications. And honestly there’s...

Ok posted all of my videos here.

Here’s a few videos from mine. I have a lot more but need to wait til I get home to edit and post…

Will these fit on a Ecoboost premium w/PP?

Writing this several hours after completing the event. I'm utterly beat between the activities and the heat today (well over 90F). I'm about to crash hard in bed... But wow the event was AWESOME!!! I had such a good time. The autocross (in ecoboosts) was so much fun this morning and I was...

I’m in Charlotte right now for my event tomorrow (dinner tonight). Been making a fun racing trip out of it. Did the NASCAR HoF yesterday and spent about half the day doing their iRacing sims running Daytona (pulled the 2nd fastest time of the day), then today I hit RFK racing, Joe Gibbs Racing...

It's likely they use the older slower less modern plants for the models that have smaller production runs like the Mustang. Why use a modern high tech factory when that's used likely for 100% F-150 ?

yeah I can’t really go into too many details here on an open forum but yeah similar. Except I have another 11 to go before retiring… I’m in an research group for Lockheed so I sometimes get to go to the various facilities and get to see some cool stuff at times (like the F-22 when they were...

They provide the car… it’s not your car. There is an insurance waiver you can buy for like $130 but you still would be responsible for the first 6500 in damage. However you would have to really screw up bad to do that much damage to their car.

Hahah you guys should see the F-35 fighter assembly line at Lockheed in Ft Worth, TX. It’s over a mile long, nowhere near as fast moving as these videos and a lot more hand done (there are reasons why). Been there a few times and it’s amazing every time I go!

Awesome! Thanks for replying! I look forward to your full report and more importantly to my event on the 26/27! I’m having a hell of a time focusing at work because I’m so amped up to go!

Haha I haven’t seen 24 city in my Ecoboost yet. More like 15!

Also, for others, I was told by FPRS that it’s ok to bring and mount a GoPro on the windshield with a suction cup mount so I’ll be shooting 360 video the whole time I’m in the car (provided the batteries hold out the whole time!). I’ll also try to shoot as much iPhone video in the classroom as...

Awesome! I’m driving my Pony down from Nj so no problem on space for goodies! god I hope that layout is the one we end up running because it’s the one I’ve been practicing on iRacing! im making it into a whole big vacation - driving to Raleigh on 24th, dinner at Angus Barn steakhouse. NASCAR...

Nice! Can you give me a quick rundown on what to expect ? Ive been exchanging emails with Matt Grev from FPRS but would still love to hear more from a student perspective. How much did you get to hammer it? What was the track layout? (Matt told me it’s most of the infield, then you come out...

How was it? Any pics/videos??? I go Aug 26/27…

How was it?!? Any pics/video? Hope you didn’t get rained out due to the Tropical storm…

So I’m signed up to do the road racing event on the 26/27th. I found some videos online from previous years events and they keep you to like 50 mph in the infield portion and looks like you top out around 120 on the oval portion. So, far from the limits. Even when you do the ride-along with the...

Yeah it all depends on how you drive and highway vs city. I took mine on a 5 hr drive up to my parents. Filled it before leaving and it was projecting me to be about 50 miles short. By the time I got there the gauge was saying I had 100 miles left in the tank :) my ecoboost hit 30 mpg and I...
