Paulford8 Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 The flag was cool. Liked the red & blue GT500's side by side. Couldnt see the drivers at all though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TractorAK Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 Rick that was you causing all the smoke? I heard the engine wrap out then saw smoke go by but I didn't know which vehicle did it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Livernois Motorsports Posted November 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 Both Shelby's had smoke kits installed by Livernois. Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Livernois Motorsports Posted November 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 I will try to get the vid done today, but need to catch up on emails and voicemails first. It was truly an awesome experience, and you couldn't believe how much work goes into a performance like that. When the day of the race came, I felt honored, excited, and nervous all at the same time. We practiced for days to get the timing correct... and with 6 vehicles, it's difficult. I'm also used to racing in a straight line and I must say, cornering at 120-150 is a huge rush! Much of our practice did not include the flag and driving under the flag is much different than out in the open. We (Livernois) fitted both cars with smoke systems, similar to what you would see at an air show to add to the "cool factor". The cars basically had straight pipes from the manifolds back with a nice set of Corsa tips (no mufflers), so they were very loud. We were going off of voice command by handheld radios that were difficult to hear inside the cars. We also had some hurdles to get through with NASCAR and them allowing the smoke kits. They had to be sure they weren't leaving anything on the track surface. It's definitely not something I will forget. Here are some other photos.
