Love how the front tire's side is picked up and you can see the thread on the tire somewhat. You must have a fast shutter speed on the camera.

Can't take credit for the picture. John's hobby is photography, and he probably has more in his cameras than I have in my car. This is a digital picture, but only he knows the details. He takes pride in getting that perfect picture. I have been lucky to get some pictures from him after each weekend.

Matt,
Yep that was Waterford. All done until 2007. Where did the summer go? See you next summer.

That's a cool pic. My brother-in-law is in a mustang club that runs at Waterford Hills a couple of times a year. I noticed that you have SCCA stickers on your ride. Do they have a website/info in regards to low end/basically stock classes for racing ??

Steve,
email me off line and I can get you hooked up. fireball25f500@yahoo.com
We (Waterford Hills) are expanding our reach to bring in more entry level events. This year we held 4 Open Track Days for street cars, and 3 high performance drivers education events. We also have a road racing school each spring.

My car is about as stock as you can get for a F-Car. We race all kinds of cars from 4 cylinder Neons to Corvettes, Formula cars and tube frame chassis. There is a class for everyone.

and if there isn't a class for what you brought to waterford...they slap an X on your car....and let you go run into everyone else that you aren't competing with one thing that has turned me off from waterford is that there's hardly any cars in one particular class....that and the dB level is rediculous...we would have to stuff supertrapps on my step dad's car, shove tons of packing down the "mufflers" and coast down the back strait, still breaking sound cause they'd pick up his dB going up hilltop

What is the dB level? I'm also wondering if our FSAE car would be too little for the track... top speed around 100

db is 75 at the fence line, equates to approx 88-90 at SCCA events. It is measured at a specific location due to township guidelines. Almost any street car can make sound. Purpose built race cars require some effort. The car Matt speaks of has struggled with sound year after year. Other GT1 cars do not. It is specific to the design of the exhaust system.

Most FSAE cars don't meet the SCCA GCR safety requirements. If they do, then there is a class for them. I believe the FSAE cage requirements are less strict. Carbon tubs must be be FIA certified.

If someone wants to race, there is a place for them.
