How we built BlueFirePony

Have Mustang, Will Pass
At first I was just looking to do some basic mods to BFP – just enough to make
her mine.
Then one day, a friend of mine who had been trying to get me out to run a High
Performance Driving Event with him, sent me a IM about an event coming up and I
decided to give it a try.
That first event, BFP was completely stock….other than the shorty antenna and
the pony decal.
Stock tires – stock brakes – stock pads – stock fluids.
Even with all that, she made a pretty good showing on the track and I was
hooked. The mods started coming at a
rate that matched my progress through the HPDE learning curve. After just a few events, BlueFirePony
was taking on all sorts of “better” track cars.
The *infamous* Mustang GT vs Exige video
Lap 1 @ MSR - light snack...the mini's :) JK, actually I know two of these guys
pretty well and they are great drivers and a lot of fun to be around.
Lap 2 @ MSR - On to the 'Vettes Before you ask, I waved off the pass early in
the video because I got black flagged for passing their earlier..turns out the
grid control was mistaken and they let me pass there later. Ohh...and yes, the
wipers do slow you down, so make sure you don't hit them like I did :)
Lap 3 @ MSR - Have Mustang, Will Pass :) Tires were at temp by this point; just
trying to keep a nice pace...not overdoing it.
