Triumph Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 I am signed up to drive the road course at the 50th Mustang Anniversary Show in Las Vegas. Has anyone else already driven the road course at the speedway before? Anyone else signed up to drive? I've found two different courses and am wondering if anyone knows what config they are going to use..... This is the course the exotics racing uses http://youtu.be/L4ANZ3KPVwg This is the one I am hoping to drive http://youtu.be/Qj9kiFlUTWc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerry Chase 1128 Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 It will be the second one or the "outside" road course. I've driven the course four times and it is okay. No elevation changes and fairly predictable apex driving. In my opinion it is a good course for beginner to intermediate drivers and will be a fun day to add to the 50th celebration.

FordFan1 Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 I'm passing on the this years track event, may have considered done the inside, all in all a big let down compare to the Spring Mountain course used for the 50th Shelby Bash.

Triumph Posted February 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 I'm passing on the this years track event, may have considered done the inside, all in all a big let down compare to the Spring Mountain course used for the 50th Shelby Bash. That's disappointing. I really like the Spring Mountain track, I've done 3 track days there, and am getting to drive the new track they've built in early April. Last year it was only open to members. They are going to re-do the existing track, repave and widen it so it can be run in both directions. Here is the new track addition. http://youtu.be/xg2o2SYWmGU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silversurfer Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 Thanks, Triumph! It's all right, I spent 6 months rebuilding and making her better and stronger. You will see on the track. See ya there! I'll look for you guys, stop by and say hi. Silversurfer, sorry to hear about your car, I'm watching the youtube video now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silversurfer Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 Let's start talking more about the Track event! What to expect and remember? Give point by's and be courteous! It's not a parade lap but don't drive past your limits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denstang65 Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 Will they have parade laps there? My car is not a track car but would love to at least do a parade lap or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat Boss Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 Any info on drag racing? I thought I heard it mentioned but haven't seen any sign ups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffJ Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 Any info on drag racing? I thought I heard it mentioned but haven't seen any sign ups. MCA said that they didn't get anybody to sign up for drag racing, so they cancelled any drag racing to my knowledge. Which of course is another absolute communication snafu by the MCA because if there was anywhere to sign up for drag racing, I would have done it. I searched and searched multiple times from when it first opened for about 3 weeks. So if there was anywhere to sign up for drag racing, they hid it really well.

Fat Boss Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 I'm thinking this will be my first and last MCA event. No where near the planning and coordination as Team Shelby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svttim Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 I'm thinking this will be my first and last MCA event. No where near the planning and coordination as Team Shelby. Yes, Its been an issue however, comparing the two MCA events to anything Team Shelby has done is like comparing a morning cars and coffee to pebble beach. No comparison.

There was a very short window that I had seen on their website regarding drag racing. I downloaded the sign up sheet and a couple days later I went back on the website and the link was gone. I emailed about it and was informed it was cancelled. I was very disappointed about that! Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silversurfer Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 No drag racing now? That's lame. What would they rather us do? Line up on the strip at a red light and take turns? Well, that actually sounds fun! Maybe someone can get the authorities to shut down some of the strip for some runs! It's been done before! Vegas strip-Drag Strip!!

Torch40 Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 Drag racing was in the same mystical link as the canopy rental for our parking area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraracing Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 Unless you have a change of tires the drag racing may turn out to be a 1/4 mile burnout session............. I would love to but Not practical for out of towners like me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Sak Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 I'm thinking this will be my first and last MCA event. No where near the planning and coordination as Team Shelby. I hear that! I signed up as a MCA member over 2 1/2 months ago. Numerous e-mails have been sent, but nothing....very poorly ran IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McLovin Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 There was a very short window that I had seen on their website regarding drag racing. I downloaded the sign up sheet and a couple days later I went back on the website and the link was gone. I emailed about it and was informed it was cancelled. I was very disappointed about that! Dan My buddy and I both filled out the forms and mailed them in. We both got letters sent back to us saying there wasn't enough interest and they cancelled it. It's 2014. Who the heck makes people print out forms and mail them in? Drag racing cost less than the road course and I know there's been a TON of interest in the road course, so one could reason there would have been the same amount, if not more, of interest in drag racing.

Were doing the best we can. There are two people to answer 1000's of emails and they work their regular jobs too. What email address are you sending questions to?
