Hi, I'm from WV (right across the Ohio river from Marietta, OH), but I like to run my 91 mustang at National trails several times throughout the spring/summer. I have a modded 1991 Mustang LX notchback. Below is a launch picture of it at Trails last summer. http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee401/xfrog1/wheelsup-1.jpg

Glow in the dark boobies.... :megusta:

I'm a lifelong resident of the Rt 7 / Gallia area. Don't go more than 5-7 over or they WILL get you down here. We're always amazed at the speeds you can get away with elsewhere in Ohio. And, as far as the concealed carry, they would probably be more surprised if you DIDN'T carry! I mean, doesn't everyone have a gunrack on their sissy bar? :-P

Echo a few things here. If you are "I" at Mid-Ohio and go to Nelson you've never been to before, you should run "I" there also. This stuff where riders sign up for the lower step group because they feel they cannot get ahold of the track are not really ready then for the group they bumped down from... For example, a lot of guys run "I" group due to not knowing the track and are "A" riders. In my mind, you are what you are. An "A" rider, rides "A" group. If not, they are essentially wasting time as it shouldn't take very long to learn a track. I never raced at Beaver Run until last year with Moto-Series. Did I ask to bump down to Novice group and race Novice for the event so I could learn? Nope... You ride with the group your ability is based for. With ability increase, comes learning things quicker... If you think Novice is a parade lap, bump to the fastest group in Novice and let a coach watch and evaluate. Typically, if you think you are fast enough, you probably aren't. It isn't an insult, but those riders that feel they are not getting anything from Novice group or are in "I" and "slaying" everyone or I hear "I passed everyone in that group and need to move up". Well, that's not a reason to move up. You move up when things you do come easier, you are able to ride within a GREATER amount of comfort and make decisions that are clear and precise. Lap times and passing everyone doesn't always make you ready. It has to be ability and that reserve I have always referred to. If the reserve isn't there, you are going to get in over your head at the next level. That isn't any fun, but it is also unsafe... Get with a coach and work on what you are doing. Listen to constructive criticism. Take what you are told and apply. When you can take those things, recognize what the issues are and apply everything and get better. THEN, you are ready... It's like racing. Just because you can pull a magic lap time that is where maybe the back pack of novices run and feel you are ready to start racing, understand that racing and track days are about as far apart as the moon is to earth. You dive in head first without working on skills before you do, it can be very rough. BUT, that being said, I think racing excels a rider's skill much faster than track days will. I believe that a basic understanding of the fundamentals is essential and if you have those, you can do well racing. Many guys on here are racing and you don't have to be setting lap records to be a racer. However, I think if you aren't ready, you should wait. But, I see guys like Nick, Craig, Madcat, Grape and others that are racing as novices and I have watched guys like Craig excel, guys like Nick get smoother and choosing good lines, guys like Madcat that have a nice ass and guys like Grape that stay consistent and predictable and allow for their abilities to grow. That's 4 guys that I think have different levels of ability and yet, they are all in where I feel is a good place. I think they went into racing correctly and even though they aren't Rossis like Flounder, they are all advancing and I have watched them all and think they are gonna be alright. But, know the secret? None of them are arrogant and think they know enough. They all learn and they all apply and they are all advancing because of it. Sorry for the rant. We all start somewhere. We all started as novices and moved up. Some faster than others. Some got better, some got worse, some stop all together. No matter what or where riders start and end, they all were at the bottom for some period of time and worked up. Even Rossi...

Signed. I'm tired of the government trying to control every aspect of our lives.

old video clip at the 1/8 mile

It has a little "all motor" stroker small block. I run it carbureted, against a C4 automatic. It was a stock 5.0 AOD car when I got it about 6 years ago. I swapped it to a carb setup from the "get go" and tinkered with it, upgrading and improving power and suspension a little every year since. Last summer I had it running 10.9x's at 122/123mph in the 1/4. I did several upgrades this winter (still working on it) and hope to drop that number a significant amount. I recently sold the Cervinis "R" hood in the picture and just purchased a 4" hood from H.O. Fibertrends over near Lancaster, OH. I can't get to the track day, can't get the day off, wish I could.

You'd probably get offered a blue waffle

hey everybody! names Sean, Just now getting to sign up here. Would have registered sooner but my browser just doesn't like this website. I work at Mount Carmel so what little free time i have i hope to spend getting to meet many of you. just look for the horrifically slow black charger srt8. http://i944.photobucket.com/albums/ad283/smelgarez/2012-01-23_12-38-08_19.jpg

^ this. I have also noticed that now that my bike is blue it its much faster, also I get more bacon, blowjobs and free drinks. I wonderwhat would happen if I were to hang out next to my bike while slurping a blue slushie, eating blue cheese and training a blue tick hound....maybe a blue hole would open up?

Buncha dudes... Car choice makes sense now.

here is pics of the new rims!

Not mad... This

He's asking over $8k, dude... We all made some comments and he seems to think we are all out of touch... Just sayin. I also agree and have mentioned the fact that he can ask whatever he wants and most likely will get what he asks. If he asks $6500 for what he posted, that's a different story and falls into where I am suggesting makes sense...But, you are off by about $1300... WE WERE suggesting $6500...

Do you have to get permission from the local hell's angels to parade through their turf?
