Yep I was kidding but since this was my first Mustangs and Mustangs show perhaps I misunderstood the ballot. Mine had four classes of S-197s, each with a different class code. I put down the number of the best car I saw in each of the four classes. Maybe they didn't count mine. But then again maybe they did as a couple of cars I voted for won.

I was just kidding with you. I'm sure that having all of us voting for each other was a help. However with 300 cars in the show - and each gets a vote - our 15 votes would still be a minority so I think any win was definately deserved. Of course I could be a wee bit biased.

Thank you for your vote. It was much appreciated. There were a ton of nice cars there that day. Yours definately included in that list.

Have a good one.

 

Heck, I voted for you guys Kathy - dang if that new hood didn't look fine

{I didn't vote for myself though when it came to my own class]

And yeah I thought the same thing - with at least 250 cars entered, even if everyone didn't vote, we would have needed more than just our own group to win in a category. *&#$ I was just happy to take one home there this year however it worked (third year attending) - I was pretty pleased with my Redfire daily driver

 

Thanks much. I think your car is quite worthy of a trophy. By the way we were talking to Perry & Jackie and you can count Jon & I in for the 9/11 cruise. It should be a blast.

Kathie

 

AWESOME

You guys and the Shelby would be a welcome addition to our little group's contribution to the Cruise.

Like I told Perry and Jackie, I will do advance scouting for whoever needs it ahead of time for a decent hotel to stay at for Friday and Saturday night (cause you don't want to have to think about driving IN sat morning and going straight to the cruise).

Then we also have plans for a casual cruise of our own on Sunday before you guys split (I'm sure Perry has filled you in). Its a blast and lots of pic/video opportunity.

 

Me too. Not missing it this year!!

Oh the actual count was 405 entries.

And as far as voting in the S197 class's. Yes there were 4 categories, but they combined them into 2 for awards. Stock Limited editions and Stock were combined, as was Modified Limited and Modifed.

The fact that they Mustang Clubs are finally acknowledging the S-197's is awesome in itself. We were the black sheep of the purest crowd for quite a while. Much like the SN-95's were when they first showed up.

 

Aaaaaaalright!!!

 

I voted for you, too, Kathy!

Why didn't you vote for your own car, Dave? I voted for mine - it needed all the help it could get!

 

Thank you very much. We needed all the help we could get with that black GT500 vert sitting up the row with the supersnake hood and supercharger swap on it. Geez that thing was impressive. LOL.

I ment to ask you what class they put your trooper car in - do they just consider it in the regular class for that year or is there a special class????

Kat

 

Couldn't you vote for yourself numerous times under different names?.(I know this is not honest but it is a possibility)

 

There was a special editions class for the trooper. Only 1 award was given and it went to the tractor I believe.

I guess it could be possible, but each person only got 1 ballot with your entry packet.

 

I've heard of some of the shows basically being fixed cuz someone had inside connection

 

That wouldn't surprise me Chuck. Maybe we rigged this one.

 

The first thing I noticed about that hood was that the paint was peeling off of the metal extractor fins. Not a problem with yours. Of course that was before he raised it and I saw the paint job on the underside and the shiney blower. You had some tough competition.

I screwed up. I should have left it in the normal 79-93 class. Tons of awards were given out in that class. (All the other Trooper cars were in that normal class). I would have whooped them - they didn't have real shotguns in their trunks!!

I mistakenly changed it to that Special Vehicle class and, like Kyle said, only 1 award was given.

 

yeah next time you pay the judges I allmost ran out of money.

 

I have been spreading the word about the tribute cruise. Hopefully the Nature Coast stangs will proudly represent.
I need to bring the video to one of our meetings or something so they can see our umm Spirited driving on 27

 

Might want to edit that reference to 27

 

Hey Dave (MTAS) check your PM's.

 

Just did - nothin!
