Had fun running the infield course. Was out there with a C7 Z06 and my son's Tesla 3. DIdn't push it too hard. The car survived two hours of total track time. Lot's of room for improvement.
That looks like fun. Kind of a tight, technical course for the Barracuda.
Back in 2012 I did a track day with my 67 fastback at Willow Springs in SoCal, a long, fast track (full 1/4 mile straight). Hit 110 before braking into Castrol Corner, and held 90 through the Sweeper. It was huge fun and a little scary, and quite a physical workout. Willow has a lot of elevation change — it's steep uphill from the exit of Rabbit's Ear to the apex of the Balcony, and I definitely didn't have enough power in this section. Then even steeper downhill to the left-hander, which it couldn't really handle either due to massive understeer with all the weight transfer forward. But it was great on the high speed stuff on the back side — I was overtaking people in that section.

Wow, Willow Springs sounds great. Pocono has several different layouts. Some have one of the banked turns that NASCAR uses. Planning on adding more camber and Dr. Diff rear discs.That looks like fun. Kind of a tight, technical course for the Barracuda.

Those scoops look good on almost everything. I do know that the Tesla's are pretty bad ***. I have to say, I like some of them too & your kids looks pretty cool with the wheel & tire combo he chose.It's a Duster scoop but I like it on there. My son's Tesla 3 has modified suspension, brakes and better wheels and tires, but the drive train is bone stock. He has driven it as hard as you can for two years now with no maintenance on the drive train. Just plugs it in to charge. He was running 48 second laps while I was just under a minute. Lot's of computer help in that thing though.
