After Mark(1320master)and I fixed it.<br /> <br /> 3rd My battery died from alternating the fan/ electric water pump between lap. So to fix that problem I used the battery from my expo. <br /><br /> 4th The run that felt to be the night's best run was f---d by a jack rabbit <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="rolleyes.gif" /> Which I managed to get on vedio as well. <br /> <br />& 5th towards mid-day my mini hi-torgue starter decided to take a shit <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="biggrin.gif" /> . lol<br /><br /> So for you all who saw me and my buddies push starting the car around - Now you know why lol. We didn't give up, which some what paid off with an ET-11.37 mph 120.9 1.52-60ft. I also recieved a blue jacket embroidered with Mustang Madness on it's back side. <br /><br /> Special thanks to John McClesky and Mark for their help...<br /> <br /> <small>[ June 13, 2004, 06:49 PM: Message edited by: TangerineLX ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>F8LPONY</b> <br /><small>Member # 11</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2004,5,14,6,17,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Originally posted by TangerineLX:<br /><strong> <br /><br /> Special thanks to John McClesky and Mark for their help... </strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Couple of cool cats there <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="smile.gif" /> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>reefer</b> <br /><small>Member # 4595</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2004,5,14,15,8,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> yeah I had a pretty good time at sac I didn't get a decent run until I let my 99 GT cool down after that I ran 14.044 I'm pretty much stock with some heavy ass tires.
