The father of the moosestang himself View attachment 33246
I worked with a guy that raced his '66 Stang in TransAm Class A sedan, during '68-70 time period. Shelby would show up with their cars, along with all the non-sponsored guys like us. When it came time for the nitty gritty racing... you would have thought that we were part of their team. It was all hands on deck to make sure that all the Ford products ran.
Naturally it was the same with the Penske team and GM cars.

Those were some fun days, rubbing elbows with some top name drivers and meeting people like Carroll Shelby and James Garner and others who just loved auto racing.

trans am racing was always super cool to me

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I'd rather build my mustang to be a bit more of a sports car than a straight line gap fools on the streets car. Ford is on board too, latest versions of the mustangs are much more a sports car than they are a muscle car.

But relentless why don't you pick something that can corner like a miata or a z or a supra

cause v8

and if we're being honest, a camaro ss 1le, mach 1, or gt350, is gonna be faster around 99.9% of tracks than any of those imports.

Kind of odd to think that after 140 years their done running the locomotives on coal (switching to oil) this is fresh from the last coal fired runIMG_9631.jpeg

They kinda did start that fire

Also oil is a lot cheaper and easier on crews
I used to ride that train to work from Silverton down to elk creek in the 1970’s. Fireman told me they shoveled 4 tons of coal on the way up the canyon. He was a college kid like me. Decided that wandering around in the wilderness was a better summer job than working the train! Where are you staying tonight? Must be a ton of snow up in Silverton

Gallup, change the oil in the car and drive home. Didn’t make it to silverton due to time constraints but Durango was a beautiful sunny place. Recent pics of silverton area indicate lots of snow but Highway and paved areas open
