Thanks again Scott (Forth Horseman) for crusin up with us and takin some pics. It was good time, next time you're definatly auto-xin with us!

The car did great for being 100% stock on the suspension. I beat about 80% of the mustangs there.

Once I get the pics off the wife's camera of me goin I'll post em.

Edit: OH and we literally beat the crap out of the car. We ran it 21 times!!!! 3 of them were in the rain going sideways and all over. Never missed a beat. I love this Merc!!!

That is great! I love to hear from people who want to see the big car turn corners.

Excellent! Looks like some pretty country there. Where exactly was this? Most of our auto-x are in the parking lot of the local amusement park (valleyfair) :)

Cool, looks like you have lots of room and even elevation change haha.

It was in the Park City ski resort parkinglot.

ALOT of elevation changes. You start going up hill. There is a back stretch where I was able to barely get into the power band and up to 4500rpm but then I had to brake HARD on a downhill slope for a tight 90* corner.

When I would run the brakes would fade on the last corner. I was about 3 seconds faster than my wife was. When she'd run the brakes would be fine. I don't think she's quite as brave yet.

I also found out I won a car show award from saturdays event. Not sure what for exactly because I had to leave early.

Thanks for having me along, man. Good times! I hope to be running mine with you guys soon. Hopefully you won't mind taking some time to clue this newbie in on how to not eat cones. :)

Hell yea, I'm surprised people didn't hear me yelling and helping Elisha, "Right, Left, BRAKE HARD!!!!, GO GO GO GO GO!!"

I was screaming with laughter when my dad took out 3 cones with the Roush at full throttle.
