$5000 budget Mustang

[BossaNova]

Yeah. The engine in that truck sounded wicked!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am pretty sure it was this truck running in the background

[Ron S]

Yeah that thing did sound extra mean, does anyone know what the powerplant was?

[David Sloan]

SBC is what i was told. that was a cool truck

[HectorM52]

That thing was set up too...he kicked my butt. Took the "truck title" for the day!

How talented of a cat you were.

Now all we need to do is get you on some prozac before the autocross and you will be golden.

Ron,

Here is a vid of one of your runs where you spun out.

[Ron S]

Thanks Blake, I was kinda hoping that footage got lost, who spins on the straight away?
Its funny, after watching it, I still can't tell for sure why I spun. It sounds like when I hit second gear and finally mashed it, it just broke loose. If anybody asks I hit some gravel,lol Does everybody here that, I hit some gravel. Ron

[Bryce]

I thought I saw some gravel flying off the tires in that video.

[tazzz25906112]

I got some gravel for you to play in LOL,,,, check your PM bud and drop me a call/note when you can....

LOL....I was gonna ask if you were still spinning from when you left the gate and then tried to dodge the first cone, but left well enough alone....gravel it is.

LOL, hand signals for braking were starting to work on the third run, then he kicked me out! Apparently blowing the motor last year with me in the car and a spin this year deemed me bad luck, lol.......except at the drag strip he ran his best time with me in the car, lol oh well.
Lots of fun!!

The video doesn't look near as spectacular as it felt! Even though it killed that run, That was great! I'm just glad you have the skill (or luck) to keep the momentum moving in the right direction and we didn't find the curb/island. I don't think you would ever let me ride again if that happened, lol.

I will say on a saftey topic, were your helmets at these events! When the car hooked back up at the end of the spin I beaned the upper roll cage bar with my helmet. Left a good scuff mark on the helmet, but no affects on my head

Robert

[Ron S]

It was all skill Robert.lol
Your hands were flailling about almost as bad as when it blew up last year. I had to put the rearview mirror back into the bracket after that run. Ron

lol, you said to signal if we were going off course, you kept me busy, lol! If it was possible to talk in your car during a run it might have sounded like a rally car and his navigator, lol.

Is the mirror fit that loose in the bracket or did you find the mirror? I know I stayed away from it.

Robert

[Ron S]

The rearview in that car is one of those Nascar jobs, it goes from one side of the car to the other. Someones flailling arms knocked it off, and mine were both on the wheel for once.LOL

I'm going with loose bracket, I grabbed my knee when we spun to keep out of your way.

Made any progress on the car since you got home from RTTHs?

Robert

[Ron S]

No still catching up from all my time away from work. The Mustang will probably go in moth balls, I plan on getting my Camaro done this winter.
