Sure:tv_happy:

Very cool to hear your keeping your mustang as is. That's exactly what I was thinking when I first asked you "why not start from scratch". Your mustang just seemed to nice. Very cool build to in your future for sure.

I wanna know more about this spinout.

More like an extreme circular drift...the recovery was text book Dirt Fish!

Has it been that long??? We need to talk, I AM in the wrong business!!!


For now... :stirthepot: :confused18: :lostmarbles: :lmao:

The car is just too good. And in our effort to build a 1.40 car, so I can run a 1.54 (always just a little faster than "The Rob" in AO).... We'd need to just completely cut the car so much it would be a lot of labor "wasted". These cars weren't very wide to begin with. The 69 and 70 bodies are wider to start with and a glass body is good enough for me. I'm about the performance vs the show quality track car. I'll let Mario (Doom) stress over perfect black paint. When you see the beating these cars take on track -- it's just awful. A glass car -- wrap it -- DONE.

I have NEVER YET made it thru a track weekend without a spin. I don't go off track -- and I don't wreck -- but I always manage a spin. I'm certain that when the club sees me sign up -- they all shudder and groan.

At the driver meeting this year -- they said "WE ARE NOT RACING"..... I was in the back and raised my hand and said "I AM"..... LOL

Anyone that has never spun a car hasn't tried to actually go fast. I push the car and myself to the max every lap.

I will say that almost all the wrecks were in Turn 7 this weekend -- and I've never seen so many bad wrecks (single car wrecks). T7 was just sketchy this weekend for some reason. That doesn't stop me from trying harder and harder to find the fastest way around it (and every other corner). Road racing for me is not a drag race from corner to corner. I want to carry as much speed as I possibly can thru the turn so I can exit faster. Frankly -- we aren't that good. I still say all the time - Danny Popp could beat me in a V6 rental car.

:confused59:

AGAIN the last to know!!

Well -- it happens when you over rotate the rear of the car and can't catch it. This particular time I was in the roll thru and got a little hard a lot too early into the go pedal and was in second gear.... I wanted to really spank the guy behind me (Rob) down thru 8 to 9... but I swear he had a James Bond like cable hooked to my bumper. I didn't stall so I jammed 1st gear and lit em up like a NASCAR winners burnout (not nearly as controlled or as cool) and off I went like it never even happened. Then the black flag was being pointed at me and I had to go talk to Ray Banks.... Who laughed at me.

The car was loose all weekend. We lowered the track bar on both sides (My love goes out to Rich Burmea for wrenching) -- and that made the car "free" vs loose.... but T7 was just a handful for everyone this weekend for whatever reason. Rob was faster in the corners than me -- but thank god I have the HP to just keep him back there. Well -- unless you spin out.

You need to keep up son!! A weekend of racin' can change EVERYTHING.... LOL


Sutton is the "builder" - I just tell him what I want in a big broad brushstroke -- from there it's all him. I'm just middle management on a need to know basis (need to know how much and where to send it! LOL)
