If so, I'll join. Any other case, you guys will out run me. 
You definitely gotta come. I'm sure you can keep up with a few people, like Eric. 
Yeah.

C'mon out for the Dragon Run!! I own a ZX2 so I'll be nice to ya! If you really must, put a rear bar on that thing & a set of Tokico struts & you'll do just fine! There'll be a few Zetec engines shooting the Gap with you, I'm sure... 
Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.

Quick question, I got these FRS radios with rechargeable batteries, should I always leave the base plugged in and the batteries charging? Should I completely drain the batteries, then just charge them fully again before I go to use them? Or does it not even matter? Thanks.
98.5 SVT
91 Escort GT (almost sold)
96 ATX Zetec (i brake to watch you swerve)
FS: SVT rear sway bar

What did you end up getting, Josh? Another set of the Dunlops? Lacy told me the other day he sent off his 16"s to be powdercoated black. I'm still shocked he's actually done something instead of just talking about it!!! 
Ross, I'd reckon you'd charge it like a new cell phone. Fully charge it, then drain it, then fully charge it, then drain it, then fully charge it and you're ready to go. I reckon.

Ok, Ok... I'll bite, what is an FRS radio?
Can I use my hand-held CB to talk to you guys?
If not, what kind of radio do I get & how much are they?

Thanks Eric, I'll do that.
FRS radios are those small 2 way radios that you can get just about anywhere. They have 14 channels and "up to" 2 mile range (usually, some have more but cost more) though it's closer to one mile. They are cheap cheap cheap. You can get a single unit for less than $10. I got two with cases, ear phone and microphones, charger, and rechargeable batteries for $25 from circuit city. A CB radio won't work with these. You can even get a watch that is also a FRS radio. Many, including the ones I got, have VOX (voice activated) feature so you don't even have to press a button to talk, you just talk,,, if you wanna do it that way.

Score! Hell, if Ross is letting me hold an FRS radio, it's definitely worth coming now! I was tempted when told I could keep up with Eric, but I realised that's not a very big feat to accomplish.  I am so strapped for cash though, so I'll have to limit my changes to the ZX2 to the foglights and Silverstars I just bought recently. If anything, I might shoot for some sort of rear stabilizer/strut tower brace, but I'm not sure. My sister borrowed the car to go to VSU in Valdosta and my car came back with red Tire Flies on it.

Now, keep in mind I probably won't have the ZX2 with me for the Dragon Run, my daughter will have it for college.
Anyway, rear sway bar, ~$120 plus shipping
Tokico struts ~ $180 plus shipping
You might be able to get a better deal on the struts via Ebay.
