FYI, if you want to try some twisties and have a ton of fun, come down to Eddyville Saturday morning to the Mustang autocross!!! see http://www.mustangclubofcentraliowa.org/ for details!!

Hope to see you there
Oh I know I am getting limited..

I have thought about autoxing my car but I dont know how well it would do.. I plan on working on my car Friday and Saturday... Hopefully its running Saturday. Austin and I are going to hammer at and hopefully have it done..

so guys i finally got my car into storage down here, Andy i finally made up my mind. this month im finishing up my suspension, taking it from stock to lgihtweight modded. im ordering a pa racing K-member monday morning then hopefully next week order UMI LCA'S, torque arm, rear sway bar, and relocation brackets. then in november redoing my nitrous system with a stand alone fuel system so i can run a 250 shot, then in december pull the motor get it forged and hopefully get some track times to slap in AUSTINS FACE....

lol I hope you do. Chances are, you have to gut your car..wait you already started on that. So you'll make 150 more rwhp, and weigh 700lbs less. But I have to say Im still not that worried. Im curious to see what your plans for the car are next week.

LOL WOW, look at all the sh*t talkin over the weekend i missed out on.....

You guys are talking about CFR saturday "day" or "night" for the midnight race thing? Either way "yes" count me in (unless the kid decides to come out that day)

BTW, if you go to the "MIDNIGHT RACE" @ CFR MUFFLERS & DOT TIRES IS A MUST!!!!!!! (just ask Austin for confirmation)

What time do you guys plan on going on the 9th? Run during the day or at night? Forecast is 80 degrees for Saturday right now. Who knows what it will change to once it gets closer.

For the midnight thing would I get in trouble for running with the cutout open?

EDIT: forgot about my GF's Mom birthday Saturday night. I would only be able to go during the day and wouldn't be able to leave until 12:30 or so since I work until 12 this weekend. Anyone want to try and go Friday night instead?

I'm pretty sure Austin and I will be doing the Midnight thing only just because we want to run in the Quick 4 domestic vs. quick 4 import shootout they have at night but i guess i have no major reasons why i couldn't go to both?

Some of the people where doing that exact thing, they'd go through tech with cut-outs closed and then WAAAAHHHHHH!!!!! down the track. I don't think anything happened cuz of it.

I'd just be a Saturday trip for me and not Friday.

Matt, you guys should go up during the day on Saturday. I am not 100% sure I will be able to go Saturday night. Not that I should be the reason you guys go up early, ha.

That's cool man. What time do you guys plan on leaving Saturday night then? I just want to run my car one more time before the winter to see what she will do in good air.

Update for me, I found out my woman can go with for once but not till 4pm'ish we'd be leaving so we'd be at the track about 6:30'ish.

If she goes into labor at the track do i have any volunteer's to haul my car home on my trailer lol.

Matt, you need to take me for a spin in the ride when it is done. I want to see what a cam-only LT1 can do (granted if I cammed it it'd be smaller than a CC306).. You might convince me to keep my lt1 around.

Good luck on the runs guys!
