Flogged the viper around MAM race track last weekend

[early93viper]

Had a great time at MAM I have to highly recommend it to anyone in the midwest who hasn't been. It is very safe and fun racetrack. A great track to push the limits on. www.midamericamotorplex.com

There were cones protecting newly laid asphalt that made us miss the apex of turn two. Slowing are times down considerably but I still managed a 1:51 which was a pretty fast time compared to most. I think I was the fastest on on DOT approved tires.

Everyone there was incredibly nice real car guys. And I can’t wait for my next time at MAM :thumbsup:

There was a full on Mustang track car with slicks that ran a 1:43.9. Even Super cars like ENZOs are going to have a hard time keeping up with purpose built race cars.

Yeah his cars streetable but he runs full slicks. Its a 94 blue mustang reminds me of a lolipop color. Real fast though 347 stroker with all expensive parts and a 9000rpm redline. Hes one hell of a driver too. Is it alot of fun i keep on wanting my dad to take his car out there. Would street slicks help at all in road racing?

I don't know what you mean by STREET slicks. BUT SLICKS MAKE A HUGE DIFFERANCE IN ROAD RACING. Most tracks you can lose 3-6 seconds using slicks compared to a normal tire. Night and Day

I love track days, they are so much fun. DOT slicks do improve times a lot at least in autocrossing.

Flagged the Viper across the Milwaukee Art Museum?
Truly beautiful.
