Nashville Superspeedway Track Day (Lots of Big Pics)
Got back on Monday from the Nashville trip. There were a lot of fast cars and good drivers at this event, I was suprised. Amanda got some good pictures. I didn't get any video of my best sessions. One I was driving slow, and another it was raining. In my better sessions I passed some Corvettes, Acura NSX, tailgated a Porsche, and a Honda S2000 spun out trying to keep up with me through turns 8 and 9. Got passed by some fast older Mustangs, and pretty much anyone who was able to keep up with me I let pass. About half of my group were on race tires.

This is the body roll you'll see with H&R SS springs, and you don't even want to imagine a stock spring'd car going through turns as fast as I do. A normal Mustang will feel like it is falling over on itself.

You should have came out. They were letting us take passengers durring sessions and letting people take parade laps in any car they wanted. I was looking for a Yellow Mustang just in case you did come out.

Damn, I really missed out. I actually missed the signup date by one day, I was on the computer on a Saturday morning at 2 or 3 looking for race events and was like, ****! I can't believe I missed it by a couple of hours. I called later on and was told I couldn't enter in late.

I want to do this so bad. Auto cross is awesome but this just looks insanely cool.
there is a track by me called Grattan and I hope to get a chance to run there sometime. It looks like some much fun

We had seven 15 minute sessions per day. So I was on the track for like three and a half hours over the entire weekend.
Well, it sucked gas like I'd never seen before, I couldn't get the gas cap off once, and had a blowout two hours from home. So changing a tire on the side of the interstate was kinda bad. Other than that the truck did fine. It was just super stressful pulling the trailer and worrying about all that. I don't think I will ever haul my car to an event again unless it's my truck and my trailer.

Glad you made it back home!

Yeah, I was leaving the Little Rock area on I-30. I had got on a bumpy stretch of asphault and didn't didn't anything of it. Next thing I knew, BOOM! I saw the tire comming apart in the mirror and hit the brakes, the back end of the truck feel down, tires screetching. I was super super lucky that I was able to steer it to the shoulder and had all my tools and a spare to change out out with.
