Quarantine track day

[badmpg03]

So yeah I know it's terrible out there ....but my dad and I notice a local Houston track we have been to a few times was still open....not sure how, and I didn't ask questions. Good weather forecast, world is falling apart as we know it, yeah why not - we head to the track with the shelby.
Towards the end of the day was a nice treat...identical to us, another Red GT350R pulls on the track. SCHWING!! I get excited, for we have been chasing Miata's around all day. We jump in the car and try to catch up and do some fun hot laps. I also wanted a reason to finally try out the gopro i bought 2 years ago. The helmet mount I have is a pos and apologies but was making a lot of noise. Vid starts with us strapping in. Some pics of the R are below as well,

Are you a member at that track? Can’t seem to find too much info on how to race on that track?

Let'n the big dog eat! Love hearing that motor. Very rarely got below 6K RPM and really surprised how fast those RPM's rise.

Thanks for sharing.

One question: Is that a stock setup, exhaust/tune?

Watching this video makes me want a 350 but there are no tracks around where I live like that.

That looks like msr Houston, I live 20 min from there and tend to go several times a year with my 03.

Google them, they have a calendar that will show events you can register for
Tde, nasa, chin, etc

Awesome!

The track near me is open as well(Toronto Motorsports Park) but my track tires would probably crack on the way there. Way too cold now

It’s MSR Houston, my Dad just became a member and I was his guest for the day,
To get on, best to find a club or group that rents out the track, and you can pay them for some sessions or pay for a track day. If you are a non member you can’t get on, Kind of sucks, but track is a lot of fun

thanks man!
Car is bone stock to the tires, was really impressed, we did 4 back to back 25 min sessions and motor/brakes/trans didn’t skip a beat. It was damn fun, and hate to admit it, but I’ve had more fun in that car than I ever have had in my ‘04.

dave would love to meet you out there sometime, I hardly ever see 03/04’s in Houston at all.
My ‘04 just got MM coil overs but having some motor problems at moment, it’s setup for drag however still have IRS and goal is to start tracking it,
