Rules: 4,000 pounds (car and driver), Rear Wheel Drive to compete.

Well that leaves ME out!!!!! LOL :D

What does? Are you trying to say that car is lighter than the rest, cause I know you didn't convert to front wheel drive?

I'm not sure what you're saying here, Jack, but this may help.

I'll be at the Jameson Inn.

There will be a few Mark VIII guys at the Sonic on Friday night before they open the gates for T&T at the track...

Make sure you come by and say what's up, doodaa. I'm sure I'll be the only LS with NY plates hanging with the VII guys :D

Wilco. The accent and the LS will probably do it. ;) I can never connect you VII guys with screen names though. I think I met 2manymarks (Jerry?) last year but with this oldtimers disease I'm never sure. I'm lumping Pro in with the VIII guys since that's what he was driving when I met him...

Just as a general note to anyone who's new to this thing - It's a long way from organized but it would seem to me that the pit parking has kind of settled into a "routine" at this event. The F/L/M guys, except the Marauders, all park along the road to the staging lanes farthest from the stands. If you're spectating or just coming for the first time this is a good place to start looking for anyone that drives a Ford product even though we don't tend to herd together like the Impala guys. ;)

Does that mean you're going to change up and drive one of the others this year just to confuse me?

Yeah, they aren't getting enough exercise. Don't know which one, though.

Guess he's a FvC guy?

Btw - picked it up on what I think is good authority that there will be another one next year. They always schedule it for the first Saturday in November iirc so all you guys start asking the boss for vacation time early.

Yessir. He posts here, too, from time to time.

I'll be there again should there be another one. Even fresh after that long haul. :D

Good to see you Jerry - and thanks for the free hat. Who was the guy I stole the black one from (when we were talking in the staging lanes) so I can thank him too?

Somehow I missed the NY guy in the LS but did meet with a MA guy in a VII. anybody claiming him?

hi doodaa, i was the guy who gave you the black hat, and thanks 2many marks for the mark7 hat i have been looking for 2 years without luck. it will only be worn for special occasions. i had a blast. i'm thinking about the maxton mile for next year! but i might do both. thanks nyclsc for the parts and disney for the motor mounts. well back to work. later everyone. chestnut& lynn

Thanks for the hat Ken. Sorry if I was a little "pushy", I almost stole thing thing off your head but I didn't want to miss out. :hide: I've looked for a hat like that with no luck for a while now too. It's going to look good next year with the black SSHS7 shirt and (hopefully) the fresh black paint on the 96 LSC. :leer:

November 6th, 2007, 07:12 AM

Good to see all the Lincoln people again. Hope to be there again next year. Maybe then with a bit of luck I can place 1st in class instead of runner-up. After looking at the slips, I lost the final round by a mere 0.0021 seconds. :o

What he's not mentioning is he lost by .011 in the first round too but fought his way back to bag the trophy after a buyback. :drink:

So, you gonna tell us what happened to the car on the way home? I hope it wasn't serious....

Sad, but the best my toolbox did was when it went down the track in the back of Frank's PT Cruiser (that weighed in at 4010# w/driver of course)!
