Track Rat from DFW

[Questionable]

Hello.

After years of lurking I've finally made the jump and joined the form.

I bought my 2014 Fiesta ST new and I just hit 46k miles. I'm at the track 10-12 times a year, for two day events with a local HPDE group.

If you're ever driving at MSR Cresson, hit me up and I'll come say hello.

Hello. I do the same in Harris Hill. What tracks are you planning to hit??

I mostly stick to Cresson since that's local and Driver's Edge does three different configurations there. I've been to ECR once and I was at MSR Houston last weekend. I got lucky and ran Texas World a couple of times before it closed down. Eventually I'll go to Harris Hill and COTA to drive, probably Hallett too, with another group.

I'm guessing you're the H2R member with the Fiesta that Steve has told me about. I'm also a member down there and recently picked up a '14 as a daily. Shoot me a pm on here when you're heading down some time and I'll try to join.

Welcome from Spring! Fellow track whore here. Texas World Speedway was my home track, I've been to Cresson a few times but I am a member at MSR-Houston. I used to track my Z06 but ever since I got my FiST last year it has been my weapon of choice. So much fun and consumables are dirt cheap.

What brakes are you running? Tires? Tech, what is your overall setup?

Yes that will be me. Steve is a great guy and very patient.

You sound like the other guy with Fiesta I run with. He had a Mustang 350 and switched to this.

I've got G-LOC/Carbotech pads (12 front /10 rear), 15x8 wheels with RS-4s, and a diff and all the cooling upgrades I could find. I'm trying to aim for reliability over outright speed.

It's been reasonable as a dual-duty car, except from July-September when it was in various shops for brake issues.

Pretty sure i bought my 949 miata wheels from hackman..

Oh yeah! that was me, small world. I still have a couple miatas, but the fiesta sees laps at h2r every now and then.

 

[Meowoosh]

Sounds like we need a Fiesta fiesta out at H2R some day.

 

[alexrex20]

I'd come out for that. Give me an excuse to finally go out there and try that track. My cousin raves about them.
