retics4me,
I live about 15 miles south of cannon falls in the town of wanamingo.
I bought my SVT vehicles from a variety of places. My R came from Denver CO. My Lightnings came from Des Moines Ia and Wisconsin Rapids Wi.
Off the subject a little, but do you have any desire to do some open track running with your Lightning? We are going to Road America in April for a two day open track run. This is not in anyway a competition event, just run for fun. Road America is in eastern Wisconsin if your not aware. Let me know.
Brian

retics4me,
Road America is about 60 miles north of Milwaukee I believe. This event is put on by a F body car club, open to all brands of cars and trucks. We are broken down into four groups based on experience, and they run 30 minutes sessions and then the next group comes out. This is just for fun, not competition. No passing is allowed unless waved by, but only on straight aways. The cost is $300.00 for two days, Saturday and Sunday. For more info go to www.mfba.org , and click on the bottom right corner. I plan on going over with my Cobra R, unless the weather looks at all questionable, then I will take the Lightning. Road America is a 4.2 mile road course, where I am told to expect to get strait away speeds in the 120-140 mph range.
I go to Rock Falls drag strip quit often, but have never seen another G2 Lightning there.
I bought my 2000 Lightning at Rapids Ford in Wisconsin Rapids. They were great to deal with, did everything over the phone, and everything was exactly as agreed upon. I will definatly go back there when it's time to buy again.
Let me know what you decide on Road America.
Thanks Brian
