NorCal Shelby Mini Nats - Aug 2nd and 3rd

[Panteracer]

Just to be sure was the orange car running in blue
group? If not then you were running with Dave's girlfriend
If so she is pretty fast and there are no point bys in blue group

Wiener dog guys are a great group I ran with them for a few years
in my mustang. Last time I ran with them I was meat balled for 104/105 db
even after they showed me the sound meter. Have not been back to Sears
I did have a set of mufflers built so I can now

Dave is close to one of the fastest in blue group
If old orange can hold him back I might have to put a Chevy
in the Pantera. But never an Ls

Panteracer #3

Dave registered OTEC and he didn't register another driver with the 9 car. Unless NorCal Shelby Club allows him special privileges I'd have to say it was him.

Better start shopping.........

THIS is exactly why the Mustang was scheduled in to get some upgrades. Ron Sutton will do the math for you (you PAY HIM) and show you why you shouldn't be running 1965 STOCK ball joints and bearings and spindles --- when you're also running fat sticky Hoosiers etc. The stock stuff just isn't up to the task....

Racing is expensive (we really don't race but that's the best description) - it gets way more expensive quickly when your car comes off track on a rollback. I'd rather be a little proactive and fix it before it happens.

Here's the other thing... When your car works better (thank you Ron Sutton Race Technologies!) you go faster and harder... which puts even MORE stress on parts. The tire temps creep up - the brake temps creep up ----- and all that heat is put into the bearings and spindles... Why would a guy try to build an 800 hp motor - quadruple the tire sizes from stock - and not upgrade these other critical parts?

Two reasons, he doesn't know better or doesn't have the funds. How many racers do you know that would spend there last nickel on a go fast part?

I'm with you, this is serious business.

Your yellow car has been faster than most for years as is. I think this is more of you just can't sit still.
