There were some great battles throughout the field and it wasn't clear how it was going to turn out until the checker flew. I was really impressed with Derek for pulling off a fourth place after starting from the back of the field. That's some seriously hard charging.

Thanks all. It was a fun weekend despite the red e46 in the championship race.
Great job Kevin. Josh too. Way to represent guys.
Congrats... to all that attended.
Hard to come in with the #1 ranking and leave with the check. Well Done! Same to Curtis and Sook, and Patterson for being on the podium, too.
Looking forward to a video and commentary thread next week.
I am always proud of our crew of drivers and teams after a weekend. This weekend in particular was a great showing for the CMC group. It is always good to see the groups from outside of TX have a similar approach to this wonderful class.
OIF had a great time - congrats to everyone. Great job by the show ponies, and as usual, good racing up and down the field.
Now, where are the stories and videos?
No stories to tell from Team Incidental Contact. I did look around at the other Mustangs in CMC checking out their rear suspension setups getting ideas on possible changes for ours. We removed our rear sway bar (no panhard bar either) several years ago and have had pretty good success competitively at the regional level. Compared to the others our ride height isnt as low as the rules allow. I'm curious what the Mustangs at Nationals are running for front and rear spring rates. We're running the H&R super race springs (white color) with the bigger front sway bar and nothing in the rear. Tokico shocks. My goal for this off season is to focus on improving our cars handling.
My teammate will get some videos posted...eventually.
I will say it was fun watching the front runners checking their phones every minute for Saturdays qualifying race wondering whether to keep their rain tires on or switch to RRs. I was already toward the back and had nothing to lose by staying on rains but could gain a lot of positions if rain moved in. The guys made the right call switching to RRs about 30 minutes before the race.
I run the H&R race springs up front and the H&R super sport springs for the 94-95 in the rear. The front race springs are softer than the super race and the super sport rears are stiffer than the super race. I don't use any spacers or spring isolators front or rear. I do have a PHB. I have stock 96 gt front and rear sways. MM extreme HD adjustable lower control arms on the rear. Bilstein HD shocks/struts. Stock upper control arms and bushings.Quote:

Only one I found so far.
One handed opposite lock through one and multiple over under moves on Derek...Kevin you're an animal and very much deserve this win. Congratulations.
Derek and Brian Curtis did awesome to come up from the back in the final and the qual race respectively. And how about the Mostys swapping an engine Thursday night? wow
Here is our video from the championship race. My teammate was telling me we hit 129 mph on the back straight (a new top speed record for us), what were you guys getting?

The Motor swap was impressive, even if it was less of the Mostys and more like Marshall and Richard.... Help from other teams, this series is pretty great.Quote:
