We take the 5.0 Mustang to Drift Day at El Toro Marine Base. Thanks to Alex Pfeiffer for getting our roll cage in, it definitely make the car feel more solid. We still have stock steering angle and no LSD and will need to address those issues before the car is ready for the next level of competition. In addition, we've learned that we need to address the non-linear steering and front/rear spring rate balance. Even with all these things going against the car we had a good time and can't wait to make the next round of changes. We'll be heading back to Willow Springs on Aug 25th so look for that episode real soon.

It's difficult to compete in a full season of Formula D. It's a logistical and financial nightmare to transport a driver, car and pit crew all across the country for just a few minutes of tail-happy sideways action. Bigger teams have the corporate dollars to make things a bit easier, but what of the privateer? What of the drivers, like our own Patrick Mordaunt, who don't have an army of people and a Brinks truck full of cash to compete? We sit down with Patty Cakes and see how it's done.
