Texas Mustang Challenge Review 2016/2015

[Boudy]

I simply disagree. We are still running a throw-down rebuilt LT1, a self-rebuilt T56, LS1 brakes, the Auburn diff I put in the car in 09, and the shocks from 09.

And maybe, just maybe... This is the real reason for your particular in-the-car view of the Mustangs running $2,500 shocks, $2,300 brakes, $1,000 diffs, $2,500 wheel sets, and 2HC tires. Believe me, I'm not trying to insult you buddy, just pointing out what's hurting you way way more than 50 lbs on your floorboard.

But none the less I hope to see you next season. And all my clecos are all in my dash panel, sorry.

You just made the point - what are the CMC rules supposed to do? The big brakes are here to stay and I see both sides.

Wheels could cost $10k but as long as they make minimum weight who cares? If we need to raise the wheel weights (ahem... with permanently attached spacers or not) we can.

Tires are part of the problem. We've yet to make rules changes in light of the current data including the RR.

Everyone is talking tires, I haven't had anyone agree to run RA1's for 2017

I would be open to it if we can get some critical mass.

But none the less I hope to see you next season.

ME?!? Where you been... I've been sandbagging for 2 1/2 years so Dan and Al could get a rules breauxk.

Alright so thats 2 of us, is anyone opposed to RA1's? Lets make it happen.

Perhaps we make a new rule.
Drop a finish position for each wear indicator visible on the tire. Cap the limit to 5 spots.
Corded tires advance you two spots.

The tires and big brakes were my breaking (braking) point. I just couldn't justify $2500 for effing brakes.

I did look at other places or ways to race my car, but just couldn't find a better place than CMC. The cost just pretty much reached my threshold of willing to pay to play.

I'm good to go with RA1's. In fact we talked about this once before at the end of the first year the RR came out (mid season if I remember) and I bought two. At the end of the season I had Toyo bucks I had to use. Showed up at Houston and everyone was on RR's. I almost gave them away.

Awesome, that's 3, I started a poll to get a solid count.
