What time is the raffle drawing this evening....

I just Paypal'd the $$ to Raul for my tickets for the raffle....

Can't believe he is raffling off a CompTech Supercharger and ACT clutch package.

Heck.... I bought $250 worth of tickets for it!!!!

And he told me... that if I won... he would even pay for the installation!!!

What a deal!!!!

I didn't think Mustangs actually turned left-to-right and back again . Something about a 1800's wagon-type 'solid rear axle' still being used in an otherwise 21st century vehicle??? A shame too...
Hey now, watch it bub. Check out in Car and Driver how that solid axle Mustang beat out the Challenger and even the new Camaro with IRS!!!

It was awesome! Didn't get any of the "R" word until Sunday morning; great weather for the weekend. Traffic was predictably heavy, but we still got some good runs in. The new paved pull-offs are great! Even LEO was reasonable.

Lots of fun was had by all, but since, "What goes on at McDragon stays at McDragon", there may be minimal postings and pics.

BIG thanks to everyone for coming out!

As usual...I had a great time...with a great group of people !

I don't think we drove as much, but it seemed to be just right. By the time we headed back to the cabin, it was time to kick back and relax...and of course enjoy the great company.

As I get time, I will peruse my photos and see if there are any 'generic' ones that I can post...leaving the 'incrimiating' ones for the secret archives .

Lovetodrive2000...good to meet you...Mike and Kathy!

Collin...good to meet you, as well...WOOF!

By the way, Brad told me we got the paved cutoffs because they were a "shovel ready" project paid for by stimulus money.

At last, a government project that makes sense.
