thehounder Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Here's my `85 Merkur XR4Ti that I run with NASA Mid Atlantic, HPDE 3: It has not been out much the past two years but I plan on running nearly every event this year if the car holds up! Great Xr4ti! Love the Cosworth hood and wing!! I had one in 1990 and I thought it was the coolest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brent Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 First post here on the NASA forums. I hope to do as many HPDE events as I can this year once I get back from Afghanistan in June(been here since March 08). Here are some pictures of my car when I was home on leave for two weeks: At TGPR in Oct in the rain: At VIR in Nov: In it's normal trim: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PDenbigh Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 we see one of those here in the SE from time to time, one of the drivers is wicked fast in it. I don't know what was under the hood, but it was really quick. If it is a maroon car, it's Cliff Walton and he has a built 302 under the hood. He his a good driver too, fast!

PDenbigh Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 is that what those cars have in them, I can't remember if the one I see is a boosted car or not, I seem to remember it being an NA V8. Could be wrong. I will have to look next time I see it. It is usually passing me at a high rate of speed. Yep. Stock was a 2.3 Turbo. A V8 swap is pretty easy though, so some guys run that configuration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Most of us XR guys know one another, it's a small community) I would imagine you do know each other, not a common car. and yes, he was wheeling that thing really well. It sounded great as he went by me a few times. Definitely a surprise to see one when I do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TurboShortBus Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 I dig seeing a "collector" car like the S351 out there getting the snot beat out of it, instead of dying a slow death under fluorescent lights in a climate controlled warehouse!

skeeler Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Here's my 2004 Mazdaspeed Miata. Her name is Mia, and she's my daily driver. I took her to several HPDE and autocross events last year. Now that I'm hooked, I'm looking for an NA Miata to turn into a dedicated track toy. Under heavy breaking going into Turn 5 at Summit Point Main. Note the huge wheel gap in the back. On the front straight at Thunderbolt Raceway. This is my favorite photo of the car. In Turn 5 at Thunderbolt Raceway. You can see the small stock intercooler in this photo. I have a much larger intercooler installed now. In the Paddock at Thunderbolt. Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
