And when that paypal opens, I'm in line for a donation

Don't worry about a Paypal right now guys, we'll see what happens. But I will probably post a thread looking for certain items in a week.

D,

You got Wallys on the shelf... few in the WORLD could top those credentials!!!

But you gotta see my suggestions for the entertainment factor. Madman going wild crushing beer cans on his head and then big Tim (Coach) calmly walking up to the other team and whispering "I'm gonna rip your head off on the tree". Instant ratings.

And so it begins:

Blue Oval Corral has a car going on "Pinks"
It's official, we are going to be on the show "Pinks" end of July in Hunnington, Alabama.

We could use some support & either mabye a few bucks to cover some incidentals. I can't really list what we are putting in the car, but should run 8.50-9.0 in the 1/4.
Using a 1996 6cyl Mustang body. The funds would help cover the transport costs, tires, and fluids. The rest we have covered.

This is the car we will be racing against:
https://ls1tech.com/forums/showth...6823657&conly=

We can't let a chevy beat a Ford!!!!

Any and all interested in helping, please contact me at drew@puremustangperformance.com or at 727-530-5958

Payments can be sent via paypal or with a credit card.

5 million viewers will be watching. We will post well ahead of time when it will be aired.

Thank you in advance.

Sounds like fun. But no doubt about it; the Ford camp will come ready to race with a stupid fast car that is gutted, ultra lightweight and hooks like a *****. I say keep it simple and get the guy who drove the red LS1 against his brother's blue Firebird last year on Pinks. He could row the gears pretty damn good.


BTW - When are you going to announce the driver, crew and negotiator?
