ITB Mustang

[dlg208]

In the last 40 races I've only had one DNS & no DNF's
(Cracked rotor & no replacement)

The 2.3 is too dumb to die.
And the rest of it is built like a tank.
(You don't need fear a confrontation with anyone...Even a 142)

Come on over to skid row (Pinto paddock area) next time you see Team Welfare Racing and we'll give you some pointers on engine stuff.
You want to squeeze all the juice you can outta that turd in order to keep up with the VW *spit* scourge.

Hi Dave. I hoped I had purchased the "sherman tank" of ITB(along with the 142). Sounds like my dream may have come true!

Looking forward to meeting you down the road, Dave.

Best Regards,

Bruce

Hi Dave. No problem on a bump. Neither of us will be in a spec pinaeta!!

See you at the track.

You guys are really funny. Already met you and Aaron at Nelson and M-O.
It was my crewmember who took some pictures of your cars at the IT Fest. She did so because her old boyfriend used to race Pintos back in the day. Suffice it to say she got real nostalgic when she saw your cars on the track!
I'll be at M-O with OVR in September and probably in Oct. Hope to see you guys there!

I'd like to go to both but...
We'll probably only run the Oct 10-12 one.
We're going to WOR at the end of the month
And then the pumpkin, if it's at BeaveRun.

Stop on over....We'll have plenty of Natties

Dave: Make sure you highlight the Grove City, PA. on your entry form. The registrar at the IT Spectacular changed it to Grove City, OH. I got real excited when I thought there was another racer in my neck of the woods.

As a first time racer this year, I would have to say that picking a ITB Ford Mustang was the best choice. You made a good pick. Very depandable, even though I have had some problems, but mostly self-inflicted. (New clutch because....well I haven't driven a manual before this year, and this was my first Ford, and a pickup coil went out)
And don't let Vaughan mis-lead you that they all are mid-packers, I know a few that have given Vaughan a run for his money on occiason at Waterford this year. But I really can't keep up enough to see through the windshield to really know...LOL.
I would be considered a "rear-packer"
But I know John, Todd and Bob would have something to say to Vaughen.

Did I mention Vaughan was my instructor at driver's school?

Hi Tom

I think your comments were directed to me, as I originated this thread. My car(with a ton of spares, newly rebuilt spare engine,track tent,cool suit, current SCCA log book, curent harness, no dns or dnf's ever was $6000. Came from a great seller, as well.

He mentioned a fender bender down south on track with a miata. The mazda sustained heavy damage:when my friend got out of the turd, thee was barely a scratch on it!!

Best Regards,

BruceG

I always wanted the 2000 Pinto for a ITB car. ^ The later ones looked way to heavy to be fast.The problem is that no one wanted to rent one. :} MM
