ilmor Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 Has anyone road raced, or even autocrossed, his SGT yet, or heard of any in competition? I have read that the SCCA has homologated the SGT to run in its T2 class, but I wonder if any have anywhere yet? It would be great to see one on track in competition (not mine ). I'd like to see this thread used to report on any known SGT racing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerS Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 ilmor, That is interesting on the SCCA and the T2 class. Could be why Roush is developing it's Track Pac car. Should be a great competition. I do plan on open tracking mine and dabbeling in autocross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wan not the fastest car thier for sure but, i was the only SGT thier.

I had a buddy go this past time and they finally allowed him to go to about 80-85 on the last lap. One guy got kicked out for going 100! I asked him, "what's the use?" Of course he got a pic of him and his Jeep in the winners circle......... ......for a small additional fee. I heard the car clubs put on a nice show all day though.

stump_breaker Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 75 mph, are you kidding? That would be a total waste to me. Yeah, me too. I was disappointed that I didn't get to go and then after I spoke with him, glad I didn't get to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yahmule Posted July 6, 2007 Report Share Posted July 6, 2007 The white SGT also finished 1st in the Ladies catagory! The wife may is a pretty good driver also. Sorry for the late chime in. My wife and I run in the DC region and run with a couple other guys that run a Shelby GT. I know of at least 5-6 Shelby GT's making a bid for the Solo championship this year. They will be well represented this year and even have a win at the DC ProSolo and the Peru Tour (Sam Strano). I would expect to see his name a lot this year. I'm still getting comfortable in the car, as I spent the last 4 1/2 years in a 2003 Mach 1. Hopefully will be able to keep up with that Strano guy before Nationals.

SoGaShelby Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 Yeah, me too. I was disappointed that I didn't get to go and then after I spoke with him, glad I didn't get to go. I understand the desire to get out a TMS and run the car. Last year I took an introduction to road racing experience from Texas Driving Experience and loved it. I was out for a conference and did this the Saturday before the conference. The morning session was skidpad, lane-change, and some autocrossing in their cars. The afternoon was two 30min sessions on the 1-mile infield road course. The afternoon sessions are in your own car and after about 10-min of lead follow in the first session it was open track with passing on the straight. Since I was a long way from home I just rented their car, a six cylinder base Mustang that I think came from a rental fleet - but it was a lot of fun. One guy had his new GT-500 there and ran it hard. Participating in this school will also allow you to participate in their "Wild Roval" which lets you out on the oval. I would love to try it. I have SGT0930 and have started autocrossing it. Being a beginner I am in it just to go out and run the car through the course. I am working on my driving and not too woried about competing yet - maybe after I get some experience. It is a blast to drive hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyDave_merged Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 Here in the Houston area I have a couple of choices. Either $200 for a day at the Texas World Speedway an hour north, or a new road course thats being built 30 miles west in Sealy. I will probably try the nearest one (sure it's cheaper too) first. But, the Shelby needs to be good and broken in before I abuse him. How much for a new set of tires? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yahmule Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 Another Solo update, Sam Strano won the Peru and Milwaukee Tour, adding to his win at the DC Pro three weeks ago. Looks like he's going to make it tough this year. Here is a shot of me in DC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
