if i was able to go this year i could set the new highest track record for v6's. i could try to hit the high 13's instead of high 16's.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

Has anyone went any further with the track procurement? It may be a possibility that I will be attending Cat Jam and if I gotta dig my T-Bird outta storage get it professionally tuned, mount new slicks, install a fuel cell and trailer it from Illinois, I will be laying down some passes somewhere. If this has not went any further or is already written off, I won't even bother.

The car should be in the low 12's and if I have time to reinstall the NO2 then it should be pulling high 10's. I would love to race it since it has been a 4 year hiatus.

IS this just going to be a test and tune night or is there going to be a bracket event for the TBird/ Cougar crowd??? It sounds like brackets if you are making trophies. Has anyone committed for entry fees for brackets? Do you need some prize money for enticing the racing? Please let me know what is going on and I may have some insight.

It is a T&T how I am going to work the prizes is
after the T&T bring me your slip and i will mark out the fastest 3

also Im going to call them up again and get us a staging lane and once every 15-20 line ups we will go

I didnt think about prize money but if every one would like to put 5 bucks in a hat and to the winners go the spoiles!
