That's nothing but a floor for my little Lotus to puke oil on... it looked way better when that little POS was sitting in there.

You won't have to screw with all that outdated unsafe stuff that we have all been running for years and you will have big brakes, tires, dry sump, big safety cage, fire system etc.

You're my hero :hello:

Hey Dan,

Thanks for asking about the Falcon! It did great--I was only in the yellow group, as this was my second track day, but if it says anything, I was lapping my group members in the second run. In most of the pictures, I'm alone, even though there were something like 35 cars in each group...

They've got great pics of all of our cars at www.gotbluemilk.com--they're the track photogs, and kick butt at their jobs...

Good to hear Sieg, well not about the motor but these things happen. Looking forward to the pictures as well as Sutton and Welds plan for the car.

Rusto, how'd the lil falcon do?

I'm really just going to turn the Mustang into the race car you always wanted.

It was fun to put a face and a handshake to the name! Glad you came out and had a good time! I used to run Yellow group and had a blast... Frankly -- track time is track time and I don't really care what group I'm in. Apparently either does Sieg... but I digress. You car was awesome. Next time bring it up to Thunderhill and run the full 5 miles in October with us.

Just to reinforce the point, Carl, I've done a hard, airborne 180 into a ditch on my road (really nice, along American River) that bent steel rims (2, front and rear), tie rods, and leaf spring shackles. Other things were a bit damaged as well (see passenger side of my Falcon), but my TCP upper arms laughed at the impact. (My Global West lowers survived nicely as well.) The K772-type screw-in ball joints are used quite successfully by many racers of different stripes, with full confidence.

I wouldn't leave my house with stock '65 Mustang tie rods, however...
