On Saturday a group of us went down to the Local "Track attack" at Dominion Raceway in Thornburg, VA.

All I can say is WOW, this fricken car cuts corners like a sushi chef.
powers through the turns and straights and tells everyone to get out of the way.

A 2017 Camaro SS Driver that was two car back was so impressed with the sound and how well the car handles
that he stopped over to talk after the session. At first when he pulled in to the Paddox he was worried seeing 12 mustangs
but afterword we was impressed on how no one dissed the other cars (Only the Drivers) :p we were all just car Guys / Gals hanging out at the track
I guess he has not been to many multi-car meetups to around here. we don't worry about brand.

the for the NO-Passing event (Beginners level) what to get used to the track and find the Line and drive it the best you can.
Line up was a but mixed:
1) 2018 Stingray
2) Toyota Spyder
3) 2004 Terminator
4) Cadilac STS-V
5) 2009 GT500
6) 2013 Boss 302
7) 2017 Mustang GT
8) 2015 Mustang GT
9) 2006 Mustang GT 600HP Supercharged
10) 2016 GT350
11) 2017 GT350 (Me)
12) BMW M3
13) 2017 Camaro SS
14) Kia something not sure
15) 2002 Mustang GT
16) 2007 Mustang GT
17) Honda something
18) another little something

Car no 9 was allover the track and could not find the line if it were painted. in the "S" Turns he drove the turns Like he was on the street leaving the left side open
the Cadi was driving like it was a Sunday drive (the one of two female drivers)

but over all it was fun and I look forward to going to the next level.

How did that Stingray hold up?
very well, it was brand new still had paper tags on it. so I am sure the driver was trying to get used to the car.

I am waiting on the Video, a friend loaned me his Windshield mounted GO-Pro.
Awesome experience for you, great to hear.
I can't wait to get mine out on the track.
I wouldn't do it though if I couldn't pass other cars though.
I need to sort out how I'm going to transport my car to & from the track first.
Also I want to pick a trackday that has the least amount of cars out on the track at once to minimize the damage to my clear bra & windshield.
Q: what (if any) damage/wear did you incur from the cars in front of you?

I did the beginner one to get used to the track and my car, I don't and can't Drive like that on the street so I need to learn how my car handles
on a course and now that I do, damn this car can almost drive it's self I loved how it felt in the turns, I can't wait to go the next level. I love this car..

As far as getting to the track, you have a friend with a flat bed hauler ??
You could rent a Uhaul for a day? Or save up for a car trailer, here are some for 50 bucks a day

This is my favorite one ..

When you went, did you set up the car (air pressure, alignment) street stock or follow the ford racing guide in the owners manual?

Since this was a Beginners event I did not feel the need to go all out and do that, but the Next event I will be.

$12k...yikes! I'm out.
And that's for the base model, not for the one in the advertisement. Check out airbaggedtrailers.com.
My mantra is take it to the track. As great as the 350 is cruising or on the commute, it comes alive at the track.
