Default Intro

Figured I should listen to the rules and go ahead and introduce myself here even though I normally don't do this. (damn do I feel lame now )

This should be a good chance to see if there is anyone that normally visits the VA Motorsports Park here in Dinwiddie, VA. Also would like to hear from the local Auto-Cross groups around here. I am interesting in trying my luck at some Auto-Cross this spring, it looks like a lot of fun and a good learning experience. I will probally also try out my luck @ Open-Track Racing @ Summit Point later in the Spring Time. Got a chance to play there at a club meet, very very fun, but could only run for 3 laps .


A little information on the car:
1998 T.R. SHO
Weight: ~3500 lb (from the scale at Virginia Motor sports Park)

Modifications:

Saxcone Removed
Porterized in the summer
K&N panel filter
TB Coolant Bypass
Borla 2.25" Mufflers
No resonator, replaced with 2.25" Stainless steel pipe
3" Additional front spoiler (not installed)
24mm Front sway bar
Stock Sway bar bushings in front
26mm Rear sway bar
Energy Suspension Sway bar bushings in back
Roush Springs Installed (Lowered 1/2" back, 2" Front)
Infinity Reference Speakers Installed in the Rear
SHO Half-Bra
Trunk lettering on doors in T.R. color to match the car
3rd Brake Light LED bulbs (not installed, too dim)
New Ford SHO Floormats (for car shows only, never actually used)
2002 Taurus Rear Deck Carpeting (underside)
Modified stock tips, now dumping 2.25" of exhaust into the stock tips instead of 1" like normal
3rd Catalytic Converter removed
Rearend lowered on strut 0.75"
Cams welded to prevent future problems from occurring (see v8sho.com)

Clubs:
SHO-Club

I am also regular poster @ www.shoforum.com and www.v8sho.com

Car has ran a best of 15.4 @ 89mph as of last summer. (Yes I'm working on getting that time a little better)

Hey Ozzman...i already like ya. You're an Ozzy fan and own a SHO...heh. Welcome to the boards...

I autocross my 85 XR at VMP through VMSC. I will attempting to run the entire next season, so you'll see me there and Cloverleaf mall. Throwing around a SHO through some cones should be fun...you should try it.

I also plan on doing some open tracking this year...but that depends on fundage and work put into my new projects...we'll see

I've seen SHOFEAR94 on SHOForum before I belive I might have met him @ last year's convention. Over 100 people there I couldn't remember them all. I was suppost to drive up to the convention with a few guys from a club in northern va, but I left a day early. I haven't heard from those guys in a while. I should probally get up with some local SHO guys. I normally goto all the big events and meet up with people from the forum. (IE - Convention, Carlise, and the Mid-Maryland SHO)


FlodaXR4 - Hope to see you around at some of the events this year. If I would have seen a merkur I would have remembered it. I love those cars.

Nic - seeing as you live at VMP, I'll definatly be seeing you then. Watch for my car, I'm the ONLY 98 SHO around here.

and hello jenn

I would think you would remember an obnoxiously loud Merkur if you saw it...but this was me tearing up my tires and wasting brakes in Nov. at a VMSC autox
