    anyone go to the car show at summit ford? got sidetracked on the weekend, ended up buying a 66 olds dynamic 88 :)
    could not pass it up..is a solid car bodywise, great project for me.
    plus my comet is still in the body shop for the hood...you know how they are....never ready when u want the car :(

    "All Ford" shows are few and far between unless you count national events like Carlisle etc. The Summit Ford show brings out some of the best and is well worth the effort to make it a "must attend". Ron Perrier did a great job in getting the word out for those of us in Ontario. We could easily double the number of cars from our group next year!!

    Let's make it happen guys......no excuses!!:clap:

    I won't have any National Event news until next season. The timing of the last two dates within easy driving distance; this weekend at Toronto and next weekend in Maryland, collide with a business trip that starts Sunday and would have forced me to get off the plane, tow for 12hrs and hope not to encounter any snags just to get to Budd's Creek for the first qualifier on Friday. Not a high percentage venture.

    We have one more race in the CanAm Stock/Super Stock Series at TMP on Oct. 15th and that should be it for this year. Time to get more weight out of the car and find some more horsepower. :yup:
