we had a blast a c-day 02

[Old Guy with 87 GT]

was great meeting everyone ,......i'm glad i went ......i was contemplating not going but said the h*ll with it and jumped in the stang fri and left ..........

i drove all night fri ...thats why i was so tired .......and yes i did fall asleep 10 feet from the starting line (i was that tired).......i worked all day fri ,then when i got done work i installed an aluminum radiator in the stang (been running a little hot latly) ......it wound up getting kinda late .......i was going to cancel and just stay home but was like "ahh f* it , i want to get away for a weekend "......by the time i left it was like 1:00

the drive there was pretty cool ,aside from a few freak storms in the mountians it was pretty uneventfull ........i did come acrossed another mustand outside of lexington and had i littl fun

the racing was way cool ......there was a couple of ten sec mustangs .....a radical 8 sec fox ......a low 13 sec lincon ....there were alot of nice cars there .......i kinda wanted to race but it just wasn't real practical at this point in time .........the wreck was kinda predictable ...the guy roasted the tires off the line then held it to the floor the whole way down ......i saw the whole thing ,when i saw the rear end still floating around the eighth mile mark ......it woulda surprissed me if he didn't lose it ......

it was cool meeting everybody ,marty and odie are great peaple ,i'm glad i finally got to meet you folks .......it was pretty cool meeting everybody .......i think crazyhorse and pony power have been members as long as i have ,was cool to put facees with the posts ......woulda loved to see ponys powers car run ......5.0 patrol has a similar combo as me ,was cool to see it run ........and mustang kelly thanks for the pics ,was nice meeting you and your husband

after the racing i went back to my motel room ,slept like a rock till like 4:00 sunday ......left early in the morning and took the road less traveled acrossed tenn. .......i took the back roads all the way acrossed tenn. then got on I-81 in virginia ......didn't have any problems all morning .....saw some killer scenery took some really cool pictures of the mountians

then ....after i got on 81 ....the july heat started kicking in and my car started running hot .......same as it did before .....arrr .....i just put a 2 inch thick griffin radiator in it ,so it shouldn't be running hot at all .....so i'm thinking somthing else is wrong with it .....i'll post about it in winsor power (my radiator fluid was foamy, and it was pushing it out the cap.....so i think it might be a head gasket ).....well it made it home but i had to stop like four times to let it cool down ,and fill it up w water ....took the thermostat out on one of the stops to see if that helped ....didn't ........but i did make it home ........

all in all it was a good weekend and i'm glad i went ......it was cool meeting everybody ....i wish more of you guy's coulda came.......maybe next year ......till then see you on the boards
