Saw a nice clean 97-98 Base Ivory Colored Mark VIII going north on 59
Ran with them 70-75MPH for a few miles til they existed around livingston.
We exited at the next exit and headed over to Zavalla to visit relatives.
The car was nice, had an LOD sticker in the rear window and cobrastar...
I got a little free time this past friday night and took the 98 LSC to the local 1/8th mile track.
I go to the track and went thru tech.

I was trying to peer pressure some mustang guys from www.centexstangs.com to come out and run our bracket program with us.
I offered to PAY for their tech card, if they would just show up.. and race.
They rolled out the "excuses", from one end of the spectrum to the other.
It was obvious they...
