Crap, I forgot (I'm about 10 miles south of Westminster)! Lots of memories there. I was there for the Ford show a few weeks back, and just forgot about the last day.

Ah well, Mason Dixon isn't that much further...

world cup finals is imports vs domestics and its this sunday november 6th, i have a few people going down with me on both sides of the line. would be nice to put some other new GT's in the domestic side to show import kiddies that mustangs arent 14 second cars anymore...that would be a good time to test your new convertor, MIR is about the best around... have a feeling theres gonna be alot of LS1 firepower down there. do you local guys (frederick MD) know anywhere i could get a set 17inch M/T drag radials this week? i have spare rims but no spare rubber. and do any of you guys know anyone who would be interested in getting there work down at a new performance shop? i have a friend looking to open his own performance shop next year... ill most likely work there on my days off

Sunday Nov 6 is my birthday (48 years young!) and will be at the Show Before the Snow in Westminster (the mall parking lot off 140). I'm not going to be visiting the track anymore until spring. By then I should have my headers, x-pipe, new shifter, springs, strut tower brace and perhaps a custom tune done. But, you guys want to get together for a Mustang cruise-in and have lunch some cold weekend day, just let me know. I'll come out if there's no winter crud on the road. Either PM me or send an email.

i'm in for the cruise same goes with e-mail for me.

i just may go to MIR to test. JJ at woodbine performance has the car now putting the converter in. i didn't have access to my dads shop since he went to FL to race at moroso, orlando and bradenton. first time i've ever paid another mechanic to work on any car of mine! i just couldn't wait a month for him to get back! i want to run 12's before the end of the season.

Where is Woodbine Performance? I'm fairly new to Carroll County and the only speed shop I've visited (no work done, just poked around) was in Mt. Airy. I live near the junction of rts 26 and 27 halfway between Mt. Airy and Westminster...
