Tracking Pantera on Race Track

raidenMember

Tracked my Pantera at the Homestead-Miami Speedway, with organization called "Hooked on Driving" where they train you to drive better (and maybe learn about racing, driving lines, car dynamics and proper braking. I learned that even if your tires look new, that if they are 8 years old, they probably need to be replaced. During the second 15 minute session, I spun out at 40 mph accelerating out of a tight corner. The second spin out was at about 80 mph, accelerating onto the straightway, coming out of a shallow corner, but hitting the apron of the bank. Retired the car at that point, rather than put it into a wall or worse rash into someone else. Guess I will go out and buy new tires and maybe a new Mustang for tracking. In meantime Pantera is now regulated to static shows only.
