Oh **** yes this is perfect. I didn't realize that this was at milan. I saw pics in some mag of the firt one a year or so ago.

 

[V6Sprout]

yeah the first race was in MMFF and last years race was suppose to be in this months issue but got pushed back, it shoudl be coming out in MMFF in a few months still, HOPEFULLY

I'm beginning to get interest from some of the local SHO guys I know. I'll prolly get a decent enoungh group to go. GTP SHOdown is too far for me and The TCCA meet is too expensive for my poor *** . I also have a girl I know coming with her V6 stang.

Good stuff. thumb

 

[SHODOGG]

man if my car was just a bit faster. I dunno if I could really compete. Do you guys think 14.8 is fast enough to do this?

SHODOG220,

There is heads up racing (and no, your car isn't fast enough to win that), and bracket racing.

I have won the bracket racing class the previous 2 years at this event, racing everything from low 14 second Mustangs to a 17 second Ford Ranger. Since it is bracket racing, it boils down to who has a better run, not who has the fastest car.

There would not be much point in going in the heads up class, as some of the supercharged Mustangs are just too fast.

It is a really good event put on by a bunch of good guys, and is a fun day at the track. Get as many people to go as you can!!

 

[SHODOGG]

Damn. Well, I was the High School series bracket racing champ for a while at Great Lakes Dragaway my Junior year of High School

 

[V6Sprout]

Hey Mike, I know its a bit farther then St. Thomas, but are you coming for a three-peat?

 

[Diameg]

I'm planning on it Jamie!

I have a lot of work to do on my car before then (annoying maintenance stuff).

Here's the real question....
Will you actually be racing your car this year?

It sure would be interesting to see that thing.

 

[V6Sprout]

Well it will be either me or my wife driving it, not sure how much time I will have to race with running the event and all.

The car runs right now, I pulled it into my garage this week to start workign on some more things. Just need to get a new tune for the eec, which I will have soon, then I will get dyno tuned the day before the event. Now I just gotta get the car there, only a 5 hour drive

 

[Ishodu]

Mike we should travel down together. Lets figure something out.

 

[Diameg]

I agree Marcel.

That way if (when??) one of our cars breaks down, we at least have a ride home!

Hopefully some more of these Ontario guys will be going too. Let's keep pestering them!

Or, perhaps all of these big tough SHO guys are scared of some V6 Mustangs? evil_gri

 

[V6Sprout]

if it helps, there is a HUGE Taurus meet the same weekend, some road racing event. Well a whole lot of them are planning on going to our race on their way home fromt he road racing event, somewhere in the range of 50 cars, at least thats what the one guy said, so there will be a lot of other taurus' there, so hoipefully we can get a good SHO'ing as well. thumb

 

[Ishodu]

Sounds good Mike, I should be back on the road the first of april. I just hope the snow goes away real soon so I can get working on somethings. We will get talking about it when the date gets closer.

 

[V6Sprout]

we now have 22 cars signe dup , and magazine coverage is almost guarenteed, just gotta be confirmed. SHO NUT Performance is again sponsoring the event. thumb

 

[V6Sprout]

42 entires so far, one SHO and one regular Tauras signed up, is anyone else planning on attending?

 

[Ishodu]

I plan on going jamie. If I get all my work done I will run my car. I am only taking it out of storage today. As soon as I know I will sign up.
