My autocross video

[sn95.ohh]

Ok so the Mustang autocross community here is highly lacking. Lets see if I can breathe some life into this section.

One of our local clubs held an autocross on a local track today. I have been racing for about two years.

Car is a 94 GT with a stock 03 Cobra IRS and the front is equipped with Koni SA struts, H&R SS springs, MM CC plates and an Eibach bar.

Enjoy! I have many other autocross vids of my car in my channel.

Looks fun, but the car seems to be a bit of a hand full.

 

[sn95.ohh]

The car takes some man handling and requires a decent driver behind the wheel to get the most out of it but it does put down respectable times. I was 28th overall at that event out of 100. With my suspension and driving, the tires are my limiting factor. My car is begging for slicks at this point.

 

[sn95.ohh]

It was really cold and some parts of the track had standing water also.

 

[KILRSVT]

Wow that's a pretty open autocross most of the ones I go to are parking lots

 

[sn95.ohh]

They usually are in parking lots. This is a special event they hold twice a year were we get to autocross on a local road course here.

Very nice. We just had one on a road course as well. The mustangs put the coopers and miatas that usually kill us in their places. I joke with my boss that my cars suspension is so far from good geometry that it works with my goofy driving.

That looks like a blast! I autocross my car, all I've done is parking lots so far, but I love it.

 

[MFE]

Looked pretty well done to me. Nice and smooth, obviously looking far ahead of the car, good corrections...

Great idea to breathe life into this autocross section, and thanks for sharing your video!

I noticed that you still have your interior mirror. Have you considered removing it to increase your abillity to see the track? It works well, and you would be amazed how it opens up your vision, especially since a driver is supposed to keep his eyes on the top half of the windshield.

It can be done in 30 seconds by a Ford dealer that does collision work.

Thank you! This wasn't even my best or smoothest run but I clipped a cone on my two faster runs.

Driver mod is so important. I always get people coming up to me and saying "You ran a xx.xxx in that....thing".

My rear view mirror has never been an issue for me. Plus it is my daily driver.

I autocross my car aton and would like to build a better community here. I will be competing in my first national event in College Station. I will not be driving my car but I will be co driving my friends Miata. I am so pumped!

 

[soccerman002]

That's awesome - the two local sports car clubs use an abandoned air field for the majority of their autocross events, and for a handful the Navy lets them use an open concrete air field at Little Creek AFB. I haven't been since my son was born, and I want to install get my suspension more suitably set up.

Good run. So did you happen to see the Candy red 2012 5.0 running in F-street? That is my buddy and the 2013 F-stock national champion. You should talk to him sometime he is a phenomenal driver.

 

[sn95.ohh]

Yep. Brian Burdette is a really cool guy and a great driver. I try to pick his brain whenever I can.

 

[98cobraRx]

You are wise to do so. Brian taught me and we both learned from Strano. He is a super nice guy and we in the DC region miss him dearly. Good luck down there.

 

[Thehubster]

awesome video man! looks like your car handles really well. you could really hear the tires complaining.

I would like to try the autocross road course. Looks like fun. Here's a vid of my autocrossing my bone stock '12 GT500 (non SVTPP):
