i had read a previous post on another site and they had a link over to here.
All i can say is, this is my new play ground.
for several months ,i have been trying to convince my wife that its time to do a few minor mods to her TA, but she's kinda protective over it. She's afraid I'll go overboard and turn it into something thats to powerful to handle.
i have been perusing over the site and there are some very Sharp cars here. I have seen a lot of ideas i would like to use on her car.
I used to drag race about 15 years ago, and give up due to the amount of drugs and violence at some of the local tracks.
the local track now has a new owner and he has invested a lot of money and has done a complete renovation at the track and has made it know that the NEW Strip will be a family friendly enviroment, and this is why i am looking forward to getting back to racing on asphalt and concrete

thanks everyone,
yes i have found a lot of useful info here. i just hope that she'll come around to doing a few mods. i've had a 89 Formula 350 and 94 Formula and this 00 TA, and by far i like the 00 over the 94 , and for a stock car this thing was impressive.

LSGunZ28 , thanks for the compliment, i'll assume you're refering to my work truck(KW) it is impressive, what few mountians we have over here, "It just gets the job done, and then some."

Vols Fan, i was passing thru your way last friday making a quick trip up to Asheville NC and back. i really enjoy running in the mountians up that way, there is some very beautiful country up there. i want to bring the TA up and ride the parkway from Boone over to Cherokee this fall because my wife doesn't like riding in my F-350 in those slow winding curves, i found that out 2 years ago on a trip from Franklin NC to Oak Ridge Tn via hwy 28, the hard way.
once again thanks for the welcome.
