Did anyone see the black supra run at midnight mayhem?
I only saw him walking by a notchback at about half track. I couldnt see the boards. I was wondering because I figured he'd trap high but then the highest trap I saw posted by an import was 103.XX
Does anyone know the hours that Fun Ford is going on Saturday?
Glenn, have you heard anything about this weekend? I think we can wait on the drill mod. I'd just like to get a fluid change and throw that !CAGS on while we're at it. I'd really like to get some racing in on saturday.

Sounds good, it would be great to get that done in the morning and then hit the track. I hope I can work it out so I can go. I wonder if they'll open up at 2:00 like normal? Either way I'll be available in the morning.
-EDIT- Should I just pick up some GM dexron III at a dealer or get an aftermarket kind?

I wonder if that is why he showed up so late, made a late road trip?
Too bad those 3.42s weren't in also.

did anyone go to fun ford weekend? I went up there later friday night, and again on saturday. It was an alright time, had some fast cars. I am not from the quad cities, but i live in Cedar Rapids, IA and make frequent trips to cordova in teh summer to watch. I just bought my 01 TA WS6-M6 about 3 weeks ago, so i will be looking to get some stock times with it sometime this year hopefully.

Nice ride, that picture makes the ram air openings look huge! I didnt go to FF on saturday, there was early rain and only fords could run anyway.
I was just about to post up and say that we should meet up at a test n tune and have a lid/catback LS1 showdown. I know of at least four cars that qualify, stock cars could run too. I thought it would be fun with a little competition. We'll line up against each other to determine winners, not by low e.t. of the day. Man I am going to get owned so hard.

Anyone seen this link about having no front plates required?
http://www.petitiononline.com/npi14/petition.html
It looks like it was just started by some guy on a website that allows people to start petitions. I signed it but I dont know how far it will go. I'm sure it would take an overwhelming response for them to even consider it.

If the state made it legal I'd be alright. I didnt start that petition, I just saw it was posted in the midwest section of Tech and SVT. Too bad 250 signatures is only good for a laugh, maybe 25,000 would make one person in springfield think about it. How many people live in IL, about 12 million?

I dunno man, Ive gotten and seen some interesting tickets. Ive also heard plenty of stories that I knew were straight up fallacies from cops. So the way I see it is if the cop wants to give you a ticket he going to find a way to make anything illegal.
