rmarietta, I know what you mean.
I vowed that no matter what I raced they would see tailgate.
(I put it on the front of the truck)

 

Basscat,
Yeah, I know. I have no real reason to doubt the truth in this case, since one witness was an unbiased third party. I agree with you about mud, but sand is not so sticky, just loose. Anyway, I would have loved to see/photograph the event, if for no other reason than to vouch personally for the spectacle. As it is, we will just have to enjoy the "story" as you define it!

rmaretta: Did the golf cart have a superchip?? Also, what did your friend think of your truck? He had to be impressed/shocked when he beat his own truck!!

 

Triton46,

The cart was in a parking garage, man those things can corner, but cornering is no substitute for raw horsepower. It was close cause I wasn't chipped then. I think he knows I've been chipped, because I can't find him now!

 

Hey Guys,
There is a guy in my neighborhood that has a '99 Lightning. He seems to have a good time taunting me. It's quite obvious my 4.2L stands no chance against him, but I usually humor him anyway, I mean hey, it's a fellow Ford lover. Anyway, when my factory warranty is up, I'm replacing the little 4.2L. with a supercharged 472cid engine out of my uncle's 1970 Torino GT worth an easy 480 h.p. Maybe then I'll stand half a chance, guess we'll just have to wait and see . . .

HI!... Hey J-ROCK now that would be the ultimate SVT LIGHTNING! If you do it then you can race my POWER RANGER.

Hey Neal,

Aren't you up and running yet with your Superchip? I saw your signature line and saw it wasn't updated, so I thought I'd check with you.

Hope all is well,

HI!... MIKE, no NEAL (the h.p freak) is still chipless. At work we just got the city contract for sewer replacments and I have been working 70 hours a week. Since this is my only up and running vehicle I need at least 3 days off so I can send my computer in to SUPERCHIPS. It does'nt look good. I hope I can get it fixed before the F-150 meet at MILAN on SEPTEMBER 18. I am also rushing to get the funds for my BAUMANN ENGINEERING shift kit, PREASURE REGULATOR VALVE,BYPASS CLUTCH CONTROL VALVE and my 4.10 gears. I want to see if I can get this truck into the mid to hidg 14's. Thanks for asking MIKE I appreciate it.

OK Neal, sorry to hear you're working so many hours! Please let me know if I can help in any way.

Good luck, and I hope your schedule calms down soon,
