I wonder if that's available in a Florida plate.

If only I could afford to put the go fast goodies on mah baby...

Last summer I ran a pass with a Focus that was the same color as my Stang. Much to my surprise we both ran under 13.8X or so. We caught up with each other in the paddock... turns out it was a turbo car! I'm not sure who was more surprised to see the other right next to him all the way down the track! I heard he's doin' a V8 swap in that car now.

Tom,

I'll take your wheels off your hands..... =).

Hey Tom,

You should see a V8 Focus out at the track next season. It is doubtful he will make it this year. I wonder if it is the same guy?

Don Manning

Which track are you guys talking about?

-Mike

Thunder Valley Raceway in Noble, Oklahoma. Tom likes to race there and I usually work there. It is one of my security contracts, so if nothing good is going on other places I try and work it instead. Kinda nice getting to be at the waterbox all night if I want.

Don Manning

Awesome, Don. I've been wanting to find a good track. About how many hours is that from Fort Smith, Arkansas? If it helps.. Pocola, OK is about 3 mins away.. LOL. I gotta meet up with you & Tom sometime.. would be awesome.. I think anyway =).

-Mike

Hmmmm.... welll, lemme think about it. I guess you're referring to my Cobra knock-offs and not my new Welds, right? Okay, I thought about it....

NO

but thanks for the offer

:)

Well, if it's the same color as my Stang, then the answer is probably yes.

LOL... shucks.. worth a shot =).

-Mike

I think so. I hate to ask you the next question, but have you seen him at any of the import days? I am laughing now thinking about you being down there.LOL

I am pretty sure though that it is the same one.

Don Manning

From Pocola, it should be about 3.5 hours. Something like 200 miles. I think Tom holds the record for meeting the most people from the NG. I met Tom, then Jim Chodrick, then SVT Kate and Scott Van Nest at the same time. So I am at 4. I have somewhat regular conversations with Donna Douglas as well... aka Diamondz. I know Tom has met the same including me, plus Tungsten (David) and maybe the infamous CJ. In fact, I think he has met him.

I don't know if anyone else has met others in here or not.

I think I am going to go to another thread with this....

Don Manning

I don't think I've seen him since we ran together at the track that night although I did run into one of his friends back in the Fall that told me about his V8 project. I'm sure we'll see him out there pretty soon.
