We had a great time at the Track Guys HPDE Sebring event this year (www.trackguys.com). SO much fun, that I’m going to start telling people about next years event, NOW. Make sure you reserve Memorial Day Weekend 2014 for this awesome experience!

Say it isn’t so! I took a lot of heat when I started asking around about a trailer hitch for the coupe. I’ve seen numerous sports cars with small tire trailers at the local AutoX and open-track events. A Porsche here or there and even a Ford GT..so why not a lowly Mustang? I don’t own (or want to own) a large truck or a car trailer – so this seemed like a great way to get my tires and gear to the track without dirtying up the inside of the car.

Harbor Freight sells these little gems for just over $200 – and I found a 20% off coupon that I used to buy mine. Welded up a bracket, cut up some 2x4s and I’m ready to go.

The hitch I used was previously made by Reese and is called a “Shadow Mount” – because when you remove the receiver, you install a slim plastic cover and it makes it somewhat less of an eye-sore. At least, not NEARLY as intrusive as the standard hitches out there. Best of all, I can remove it completely in about 10 minutes.

Why am I doing this? Check out Track Guys – they put on a number of HPDE (High Performance Drivers Education) events at REAL racetracks all over the country. If you want to see what YOU can do, in YOUR car on a REAL race track – these are the guys to call. New drivers will have the benefit of an instructor in your car during track sessions (while you drive). Additional classroom training takes place in between your track sessions. I’m going to make a new post about the Sebring event shortly.

If you’d like to get involved in open track events with your Mustang or other sports car, check out http://www.trackguys.com. This organization is great for everyone. The event is separated into groups – the beginner groups requiring an instructor in the car (this is an excellent way to learn and stay safe!) and the more advanced groups running solo.

There are still a few bugs to work out but it made a long trip to Sebring raceway where it saw a bit of track time.

TMS (www.tmsautosports.com) honored the car with their best of show award, which I really appreciated – these guys are super nice.

I’ll get more pictures up once I’ve cleaned the garage from my chaotic build.

A few years back, I built an 03 Mach 1.  So far, it’s the fastest car that I’ve ever been in.  It was my performance dream car but I was never really in “love” with it.  I sold it and although I missed the performance (and having a Mustang that runs), I didn’t have the same regrets that I had when I sold my 93 coupe years back.

The car was featured in 5.0 Mustang and Super Fords Magazine <–Click

Some of the highlights:

600HP Aluminum Teksid Engine (Whipple 2.3 Supercharger)
Maximum Motorsports Suspension
2000 Cobra R 6-Speed Transmission
Forgeline GT3 18inch wheels

The new owner was unlucky enough to total the Mach.  He was not injured, thankfully and we’ve become friends since.  The wrecked car was sold at auction and parted out.  It’s a little sad but this is how it ended up.
