MidOhio is sold out but we have track days coming up at Waterford, Grattan, and GingerMan. We even have two days at Calabogie if you feel like driving up to Canada.

That was Calabogie

-You must have a helmet (SA2000 or newer)
-You must have a car in good condition
-You must be willing to learn and have fun
Hey! I meet all those qualifications, except maybe the third one, LOL.
Thanks for the heads-up, I have a friend who drives a 325i ZHP, he'd love to get into that, as well.

Our last two track days have been test-days for a few 24 Hours of LeMons cars. Trust me... anything that you bring will be in better condition than some of the pieces of shit that have been on the track with us. Come out to Waterford in July or Grattan in August. You won't be disappointed.

I'd like to try that with my mustang.Does any one do it with a auto trans?:banghead: And would there be any special requirements for a convertible?

Brad tracks his Lightning so, yes, you can run an automatic. Whether or not a convertible car run depends on the track and the group. For the most part, 3Balls events are convertible friendly.

Hey guys, thanks for the nice words, and glad to see others enjoy this video as much as I do.
There was a gentelman running an 05+ Mustang GT with a turbo and an auto tranny running at that trackday, he was actually doing very well. As for convertibles it depends which sanctioning body is holding the event. Most require some sort of a roll over protection.
Autocross is great, cheap and a safe way to learn car control. If you've never done anything like this, do some autocross and head out to lapping days.
Here are some pictures.

I am also the lucky owner of the Slowmotion Mustang. I don't know if you guys have ever seen the videos of it, but since this is a muscle car forum, this seems to be the right place to post a nice little video of it. Just to sum up the car, it has a 4.6L 2v motor with a built block, c4 mighty might tranny, moser m9 rear end, paxton novi 2000rr and bunch of other goodies, and it has ran 10.30@133mph on low boost (15psi) and 94 octane pump gas.
