There’s actually a lot of mods you can do to a car in F Stock to make it a runner and that car had just about everything you can do, done to it. I raced against ole Krider in the San Francisco region autocross scene in my 1LE Camaro Z28 (and beat his ass… a few times –sorry Rob I had to drop it!). There aren’t a lot of shenanigans going on with that Mustang because S.C.C.A. loves their rulebook. I think what you are seeing, and I know this because I rode with Krider once (never again), is less questionable parts and more heavy right foot. There is a part of everyman’s brain that tells someone when to lift the throttle before a corner, I think he was just plain old born without it.

I don’t remember any mention of a book, but I would be second in line for sure!

You guys are doing an awesome job!!! I am here for the duration…I absolutely love this site! It as great to hear that so many have offered to donate time and effort to put towards your adventure. I would be glad to offer anything that I could as well, so if you need anything just let me know and I will try my hardest to help. Maybe all of us who drop by to comment can band together and figure out a way to generate some revenue…like bumperstickers, or something like that.

Allegedly it was F STOCK. I wonder if he was still in first place after the post race tech inspection.

Sort of reminds me of my attempts to autocross my 77 Corvette in the early 90s. I had about as mush wheelspin as this guy, but usually hung on to the drift a little too long and ended up flying backwards and stalling the car. That’s how I learned that you can stall an automatic transmission.

I’m guessing he ran in the “Modified the Shit Out of It (MSOI)” class.

Honestly, I can’t tell you how much we appreciate the support. I’d share the 30-odd emails that have flown back and forth amongst the writers, but they’re so boring it’s not worth it. Needless to say, our gratitude is off the charts, and we’re trying very hard to provide material you’ll like. We’re not making a cent off of this — our ultimate goal is to cover the costs enough that it doesn’t cost Mr. Science anything to run the site — and we’re doing it all for free. Myself, I’ve put in three 10-plus-hour days working on it for free, and I genuinely hope you’ve all enjoyed the efforts.

I’m having an absolute blast, and I’m so relieved to see the positive response from everyone. I want everyone to know that we’ve received all the offers of help, and can’t thank you all enough, but just haven’t had time to even look at them. We’re going to try and get back to people individually over the next few days, but that’s if all goes well. We really do have the most amazing crowd of car-buffs anywhere. We’ve had people offer the services of their company — including a staff of techies — for free, just to help us out. Wow.

So stick with us, we’re going to be working hard to earn the respect you’ve shown us. I myself, on the other hand, have already realized that in my case, said respect is wholly undeserved, so I’m planning on posting more nonsensical babble along the lines of the rubbish I’ve posted so far. Hope you don’t mind too much!

And since our @hooniverse email is still giving us issues, if you’ve got suggestions, photos, or anything cool, send it along to me at iMITCH at GMAIL dot COM, and I’ll happily share it with the rest of the team. Except the good stuff. I’ll keep that for myself.

This is a little bit off topic, but does anyone remember Murilee saying something about some writing that he was working on? It was in the comments section on one of his posts (I think) a while back. Is he working on a book? It may just be something I read into his comment. I hope not. If he is working on a book, I’d be the first in line to buy it!
