First, some thank you's:
To Joe and the DaSilva Racing Team for organizing the day.
To Blackstock Ford and Armen for bringing two wicked rides for us to "test" drive and for the trailer for shelter.
To FastEd for his on track tutorials.
To the TMC Crew for handling the flags and marshalling.
Finally, to all those that braved the elements to make the day fun and damage free.

This was the first track day that the track did not dry out. Combine that with the cold temps it was one slippery SOB out there. Kudos to all the drivers, as aside from a few slides and spins, everyone and there rides went home safe and sound.

Huge thanks to Joe once again for setting these track days up. Blackstock for bringing some cool cars for test pilots. And TMC for running this great event.
:clap2::clap2::clap2:

What a cold, wet, miserable day to go racing, LOL.
Could not find any grip, could not truly try out any of my new mods, and managed 2 spins (one stayed on the track, the other dropped a wheel into the mud). Had a great time!
Look forward to warmer weather, dryer track days.

It was slick! 5 degrees with rain and Pilot Cup II’s don’t mix lol.

Thanks to all involved. Was a great day even though the weather didn't cooperate.

I only hit the spin cycle once, lol.

It was a great day - and I loved every minute of it even took some pics of all the Motley Mustangs (when I was off the track) sorry if I missed some car between the rain. Thanks to Dasilva Racing and all who invested time to let motorsports happen. My son had a blast made me crap my pants and sound like the High Commander back seat driving in the beginning, but man he improved immensely but the end. Thinks he's gone horse power up now...lol There will be some un-mustang shots, just proving that "the nicest people own Mustangs" enjoy

Big thanks to Dasilva Racing for organizing track day and Blackstock Ford for coming out with the performance pack 2.

As with all track days it was a great day. Nice to meet forum members in person as well.

Hey slo turd not so slow after all - I passed I think a 1000hp Cobra a few times- lol. ( actually he felt bad for slo turd and let me pass )

Wanted to come spectate, but didn't trust my Turdburger to make the trip in one piece after not getting the ball joints changed over the weekend.

As always, a big thanks to Joe for making these days happen.
Blackstock Ford “ROCKS”. Bringing out those PP II cars for us to drive was a special treat.

Weather did it's best to mess things up but we had a blast in spite of it's efforts. Hats off to Joe and the crew at DaSilva's for their efforts year in and year out, it's very much appreciated.
Jim, Chris and all the folks at Blackstock Ford, wow what a time we all had putting laps on those two cars. Can't say enough good things about how complete and utterly cool those Track Pack II cars are and how well the Michelin worked on the cold wet track. To anyone considering a new Mustang, this package will flat out blow your mind, yea it's that good.
As always, day would have meant nothing without the folks that attend, ya'll rock!!!!
Ron, you got me fair n square buddy, did have fun when you jumped in for a couple of laps. Seems the street skinz on the Cobra are 110% pooched for that kind of weather. Looking forward to the next event and getting my R comps back on.

I wanted to say thank you to DaSilva Racing, TMC crew, a great day regardless of the weather.

Big thanks to Armen and Blackstock Ford for bringing those 2 amazing PP2 Mustangs and for allowing us to take cover from the rain in the trailer.

Best part was seeing a bunch of familiar faces (and new ones too) after a very long winter.

Yesterday proved that this is a great event rain or shine!

It was an interesting, challenging day. Ya can never count on weather , sadly enough, but it was kinda fun sliding round... I d rather have much better traction though ;) ... Kudos to all that came n did there best under trying circumstances and the organizers of the event... if number get to low for these events, they won t have them anymore , and that would be sad....

Y'know, I was very disappointed that I couldn't come out on Monday(had to work). I guess it's my age catching up to me, but right now I'm thinking I'm sorta glad I didn't go. These old bones are much more comfortable in warm sunny weather rather than rain or cold.

Blackstock Ford just wants to thank all of those who braved the weather to come out. It was a bit of a nasty weather day, but everyone made it work. Thanks so much.

We especially appreciate all of the great feedback from members who took the time to test drive the the cars we brought out. Much appreciated!!!

Video to come soon!
