Two months have passed since our first Time Trial win (SCCA TT, where we ran a 1:18.933 best lap) in #Trigger, our LS swapped S550 2015 Mustang, which we built around SCCA CAM-C / Max 1 rule sets. Two days before this event we had tested the new 4 stage external A.R.E. dry sump upgrades at this track - now we could finally sustain oil pressure around long left hand turns (something the LS7 based "Dry sump" could NOT do).
This Apex Lap Attack event was on our test track - the Motorsport Ranch 1.7 CCW course - where we also scored our first TT win in August. I was hopeful that the oiling upgrades would finally let me take a lap under full power, and the aero tweaks we added in September would improve cornering and braking. We had never placed well at any Apex event in other cars, and I hoped this time would be different.
The lap time improvement we saw was FOUR SECONDS, with a 1:14.693 best at this event. Zero issues all day, solid oil pressure even with 1.53 g lateral and 1.58g braking. Apex stuck the car in their highest class but even with 200TW tires we managed to win and set Fastest Time of Day. Very happy with the results and we hope to continue that into the next two Time Trial events on the calendar. Thanks for watching!
