2010 Team Mustang Track Event

[93R-Code]

A Huge Thanks to Team Mustang and Ford Motor Company…

A couple weeks ago I participated in a track event at the Dearborn Proving Grounds, held in conjunction with Mustang Alley / Woodward Cruise.
Friday morning seventy-five invitees met at the Ford World HQ for a briefing of the day’s track activities, from there we had a police escort to the proving grounds. We were than led onto the High Speed test track for a couple laps before parking and getting shuttled to a infield building fo the day’s activities.
Events:
Hot Lap – Laps around the twisty infield test track by one of Ford’s professional drivers in Mustang test mules, new Shelby GT350 and a Ford GT.
Skid Pad – A trip through the wet pad, again by the hand of a professional drivers in Mustangs.
Test Drive – A coned off autocross like track setup for test drives… a new Fiesta, Taurus SHO and several Mustangs.
2012 Boss 302 Laguna Seca Unveiling – Enough said!

We had a great time and hope Team Mustang plans on making this a yearly event.

Damn, we were there, from Naperville...did not see 1 IL. plate. but then they let in more than the planned 75 cars, as I'm sure you know.
Did you get a ride in the GT? Driver told us it had 700 HP. How about the blown 5.0?

 

[HOLYWD]

I missed out on the Ford GT ride, I was over by the skid pad and didn't make it back in time. But I did get laps in the GT350 and GT500.

Yea, they stopped the GT pretty quick...what happened was as soon as it came out, everyone was moving backwards in the cue, and not stepping up for the Mustang hotlaps, they were just sitting there for a couple of minutes at one point. I heard the guy at the line (he drove the Focus RS) tell the GT's driver to park it. I gave my spot away to my son, who has been fascinated by the GT for years.
What a trip this whole thing was!
