Hey all! If you all are going to show, might as well chip in the extra 5 dollars to run! I know I'll probably be severely dissapointed, as my car is running like crap lately, and I can't drive worth sh#!. I've had next to no practice launching the SVT, I baby it waaay too much. I'll start doing a few launches when I'm cruising around midnight. Chances are I'll get matched with some bastage in an 03 Cobra, and he'll mop me up, unless you wanna go head to head Chris? I got my new windshield about a month ago, added about 25 hp, let's see what yours can do! I figure if it's typically around $30 just to get a few runs in on any other night, I'll pay $5 extra just to get a couple times outta the car, and some legal practice. The real question is whether or not to put my Superchip in! I got in the car a few days ago, and the chip wasn't letting my car start, but it started right up when I took it out  But this is all weather permitting on Sunday of course, no sense in paying the extra money to race and then get rained out. Glad to see you found a house Randy, good luck with getting settled in! Sounds like my sanding paper is going to get heavily used this weekend.. I've got enough for all, but like I said, I'd suggest buying some of that Meguiars Plastic polish stuff. If you don't keep applying it, the haze will just come back, I apply about every wash, and also I don't have to go and buy 2 more bottles for everyone else.

Bandi. has rules about clothing if you race. I think you have to wear jeans and a helmet. I am bringing mine just in case. I dont know if they changed the rules for Ford Fest. I cant find that plastic cleaner anywhere. I will have to keep looking for it I guess. -B.

Let me know if you can't get a hold of it by Sunday. I can pick you up a bottle at the store by me, and you can just pay me back.

I did this last year, and it was a lot of fun. We parked next to a stock SE Sport that ran slower than I did  and a supercharged SVT Focus that ran 16's.
You only need a helmet if your car is under 13 seconds, which I am pretty sure most CO Contour's are not, especially at this elevation. I ran 17's and Dragonfly's (not his SVT at the time, but his brothers) best run was something like 15.1 (could be wrong) so don't worry about helmets and jeans. Just detail the hell out of your car to make sure it looks good.You'll see lots of sweet-azz 03- and up Cobras moded the hell out of  and some awsome older Fords. We also parked next to a couple 65-replica-Cobras with the 427's in them (over 500hp ).
Now I wish I was coming.

Randy, If you could just make it to Mario's house on Saturday, we could all pitch in on detailing your car, and you could get back to moving in, once we finish! Ah, nm, that's probably too much gas just to come up and get your car prepped then come back up the next day.
So we've got lindston and myself going to Dragonfly's? Still be a good time, I repainted my front oval today, as it got chipped in some bad dust storms the other day, while I was at it, I painted the mesh silver. I need ta match the lower front mesh at least, and hopefully the rear mesh if we have time Saturday.
Any chance you can make this li'l get together DaddyPhat? We'll bust open a bottle of champagne on the bumper and inaugurate it's rebirth.

Yeah that would be to much gas. I am moving in all day SAT. so I wont have a chance to go anywhere. I am just going to wash it and call it good. There is a 35% chance for rain on Sunday so I am not going to go all out. I do wish I could get the headlights done before the event, but that is not going to happend unless you guys want to come to the Springs after we move in, SAT afternoon and work on them here. lol I know, then you would have to spend the money on gas ! lol Well we will try to get it done before everyone shows up at ford fest. See you all there. -B.
