I'll let the picture tell the tale. Special thanks to Carbotech for their brake pads which allow my car to pitch into the ground.. I'll have to post in the pictures section when I get more of them uploaded.  Had a blast as always - great to see everyone again. I think there were 6 SVT Contours at last count. Unfortunately my day was cut short by some cords that decided to show themselves outside of the rubber on the slicks - but I got the majority of the day in by that time.

Loads of fun as always. Damn Craig that is a nasty looking pic. We gotta get you some coilovers or something. When i get home i might post some pics i have as well. The new Avon Tech RAs were awesome. These are definitely a step up from the Victoracers i was running before.
I also got to drive a new MazdaSpeed 6 at the track. They are QUICK!!! Great acceleration and smooth and quiet. however going from my 2950 lb car with 225 45 17 tires to a 3600 lb car with 215 45 18 tires ...well you get the picture. they are very capable and competent. They would be awesome with a wider tire and more aggressive brake pad.....sorry i always think like a racer.
Overall if i was considering an under $40K car it would have to be near the top of my list right now. I was impressed.
Good to see all of the contours out there. Aaron, get that damn arm healed up and your car troubles fixed up will you. We need to get you out there next time.
Cheers

Fern, I plan to be there next year. Trust me I can't wait unitl my arm is healed, I must say that once I drive again I have a feeling my foot will be meeting the floor very often.

I'm glad a whole bunch of you Contour owners showed up! I'll post my pics as soon as I figure out how to condense all the pics I have. If you guys have any pics of the group or the event, email them to me at svtwannabe@gmail.com. It'd be nice to get everyone's take on the weekend. PS> Craig...every time you were taking the corners I thought you were going to scrape.

Yeah.. can't say I am proud of it  . I need stiffer front springs for sure... I am really starting to think that I have 4 cyl Koni front springs, as noone else with the Konis seemed to be touching down.
