First, we had to slap the Subie guys around, now it is the Mustangs. Some people just don't pay attention or learn from the mistakes of others. Sigh, off to the garage to sip a smooth Cabernet and wax the car. \:D/

Poor dogs...such abuse. Must be small/sick dogs at that. Dan you are definitely invited to the Mustang Garage.

As far as the trannys are concerned, after much research, I am going to go with G-Force internals in one of my T-5 cases. Dan I'll fill you in at NHIS 1. I'll still be using the 4 cyl. Limerock trans. at the first event...good possibility of creating many small parts out of 1 big tranny

I've got a Miata too, along with 2 (well maybe 1-1/2) Mustangs...The Miata goes to work and out for ice cream, the Mustang goes to the track - this, of course, is the natural order of things. :wink: :wink:

Scott, I'll throw my T-5 in the truck, just in case. :lol:

[quote]driving an old vette puts me in a completely different class.

We Mustang owners must remember that this club is COM---Corvettes of Mass. and as such we are just guests of Corvette owners.

I will tell Scott not to pass you any more !! :roll:

Enjoy the ride Turtlevette after all I started just over two years ago with a Corvette two.

Man that's an early apex for the left hander...no wonder I'm so slow a Limerock.

The first event at NHIS is generally chicane/chicane...safest way to get everyone back up to speed.

I see the cone right there but i thought the apex was further down. The right rear of my car gets mushy right in there probably cause the tire is rolling over.
