    Actually got the car to the track this weekend. Had problems but we got my brothers Falcon to run good. Thought I'd share a pic here for all to see. I was leaving hard but having fuel issues so I wasn't in front of the Falcon for long.

    I'll see what else I got when I get my pics up. These are from the Mustangs guys that were there.

    Here a pic I already had of the Falcon. It has a Mustang II front end. 5.0 roller bottom, trick flow heads, MSD, Air Gap intake, 17" wheels, Corbeau seats. Its coming along nicely.

    Well besides the car running like crap and replacing the alternator on the way out, it was one of the best days in a while. Just being out at the track and driving the car is always a good time.

    Rare site seeing 2 Mav lined up. Been decades since I've seen that. What kind of ET's the Mav's turn?

    Great Job Adam. And thanks for posting the nice pictures.

    I will definately have to come out on one of these weekends to see you guys race.

    I thought the weather had called everything off....man it was very unseasonable weather.

    Those pics must have been during the few brief breaks in the crappy weather.

    Hey Roger, Ryan here... Lol. Adam was at the track though. So the weather on Sat. cancelled the cruise but the back up plan was to go to the track on Sunday. I know its hard to keep track in our rambling thread of nonsense about our meets. So weather was great on Sunday and Gene, Adam, Tony, And myself were at the track but only me and Gene were running.

    Well it wasn't running good at all because of fuel problems. The Falcon has an identical motor but stock cam and he made a 13.6. I figure I should be a little quicker than that with my cam and higher stall convertor.
