Road America Race Track Reloaded
Dwight Hochbaum has sampled a wide variety of motorsports over the last 17 years, including drag racing and hobby stocks at the local bull rings, but he sounds hooked on road courses. "It lasts a lot longer than drag racing, it's cheaper than hobby stocks because you can leave the car alone and drive it on the street if you want and it's a lot more fun because the acceleration lasts longer than the two-second spurts we get on the oval tracks," says Hochbaum. Dwight's 351-powered '85 Mustang would leave virtually everything in its dust on the straightaways as he often accelerated past 140 mph, but he found his suspension and 15-inch wheel/tire combination to be lacking in the turns, where most cars would reel him back in.
