Thanks, I hope you can make it.

Re: 2nd Annual 03-04 Mach 1 Showdown Event
 

Guys, the bathrooms alone are worth the cost of admission. There is a guy that actually gives you a towel and a splash of Polo for a buck. Seriously, I hope everyone gives thought to attending. It will be alot of fun.

Holy CRAP!!! You da man PHIL!!!

Re: 2nd Annual 03-04 Mach 1 Showdown Event
 

I wish Craig!

It's not easy trying to gather up sponsors. They can back out just like people, that are interested in entering our showdown event. I thought JEGS was with us and then they backed out.

I just keep pluging away. Here is a link to a new sponsor, Joe Heck Racing out of New Jersey. Their opening up a 2nd shop.

Re: 2nd Annual 03-04 Mach 1 Showdown Event
 

Do I have to pay if I just drive the Mach out there and not want to race?

Re: 2nd Annual 03-04 Mach 1 Showdown Event
 

it just hit me........a jegs sponsored event at summit raceway? :23: you are a silly man lol.

Re: 2nd Annual 03-04 Mach 1 Showdown Event
 

No, it won't cost you anything to come on out and watch or show off your Mach 1 or Mustang.

Re: 2nd Annual 03-04 Mach 1 Showdown Event
 

You laugh Bill, but the store manager said yes to sponsor us. Until it went before their review board and then the answer was no. It was worth a shot at it.. I asked Summit Racing Equipment first and they flat out said no.

Re: 2nd Annual 03-04 Mach 1 Showdown Event
 

Yes, because those of you sissies that choose to drive there but not race have to forfeit your keys to the ol BIG DADDY here and I will then throw your Mach the proper beating it was born to do!:3amin: :)

Re: 2nd Annual 03-04 Mach 1 Showdown Event
 

Sorry man! lol the old man and I are keeping his Mach as a collector's car. :CHEERS:

If we can bring any ol Mustang to show off, I might bring our little 92 as well. We'll see when the day comes.

Peace

Re: 2nd Annual 03-04 Mach 1 Showdown Event
 

Hope to see you at this event!!!!

Re: 2nd Annual 03-04 Mach 1 Showdown Event
 

Don't blame ya man! I wish sometimes that I wouldn't have taken the rarest color and did what I did to it. I need two Machs!

Re: 2nd Annual 03-04 Mach 1 Showdown Event
 

I truely hope we can get 30+ 03-04 Mach 1's at this event. I know we will have 30+ Mustangs running open track, lets not be shown up at our own event.

I'm counting on you guys and hopefully a few gals that own 03-04 Mach 1's will enter the showdown classes.

Re: 2nd Annual 03-04 Mach 1 Showdown Event
