FFR Type 65 at Laguna Seca on Labor Day
Hi Folks,
The car and I had a great day at Laguna Seca with Hooked on Driving.
Here is a video of two back-to-back laps following an Audi TTRS:

It was hot that day but water and oil temps maxed at 210 and 250, respectively.
125 miles of track driving, average speed ~72 mph and 5 mpg.
The car is a Gen III Coupe #17
carburetor Ford Racing Boss 302 (345 hp)
TKO600, IRS, Nitto NT05s
my own quiet side pipes

Awesome Video!
Your car is wayyyyyyyy quieter than mine with a Coyote... even with my spin master custom exhaust!
What does your “Quiet Pipes” consist of ?
Any photos.

Nice run.
I've watched a bunch of video from Laguna Seca and the Corkscrew always freaks me out. I'd like to run it but CA is a long ways from MI.
Looked like you managed it well.

So cool to watch! Laguna Seca is one of my favorite tracks.
Thanks for the tip on the Hooked on Driving class, BTW. I have some friends in the Shelby club and am really looking forward to getting my roadster on track at Laguna when it's finished. How did you like the HoD program? It seems like a great way to get familiar with the track and the car. We have a place down in the Monterey area, and one of my favorite times of year is the Concours and the Monterey Motorsports Reunion at Laguna. I love being able to go back in the pits and see all the cars up close and talk to owners and drivers. Here's a shot from the pits from 2016.
