If you like that, then be part of the 2021 North east Regional Shelby meet!

Only those who register for the full weekend will be part of this fun. We'll have a competition for the best thrower, winner gets a special engraved axe. Special Go-Kart run groups for Shelby drivers (Cash for laps, but reduced rates).

More details to come.....

I like the track layout in the Ozarks!

Sat night dinner would be jugs of moonshine, crawfish, and fiddle playing!

The last I saw of 0010, it was at Tony Conover's shop a half dozen years ago. Vinyl top, T-Bird lights. It was at SAAC 25 at Lime Rock as I remember.

Party has been cancelled.

Looking to replace the speedometer in my FFR. Going from fluctuating mechanical to smooth GPS.

Will use the Autometer Elec Speedometer, but do have a choice of sending units. So, asking if any of you here have used a GPS system, what components did you use, and how did it work?

Where is this being held ?

Lehigh Valley Area PA. Allentown, Bethlehem area. 60 miles directly north of Philly.

Another year of death, chaos, destruction and explosions!

Same slippery oval as usual at S&S Speedways

Sunday morning Feb 21, 10:00 AM to Noon. (1 week after the Daytona 500)

Looking for a club to compete against.

Still probably $30 per driver.

Mark the date, will be compiling a team shortly...

We have a block of rooms set aside, and will provide updates.

The world better be in a whole lot better shape! But we did ity last year in the worst of times, so 2021 is going to be great. Been on the fence? Join us this time.

The 12th Annual event is now official, big pieces in place. and lots of new things planned for 2021.

Same Host Hotel, that has been great.
Car show on Sunday will return to the Silver Creek Athletic Club, it turned out to be a fantastic venue.
Saturday night - Axe throwing and indoor Go-Karts planned at LVGP
Saturday Tour - Heading south into horse country with a possible car museum stop.

Save the date now!!!

Probably has an absurd reserve above $200K

Time to put a period on 2020!

Sat eve, Dec 5 at Basta PAsta.

Invitation attached

Happy Pre-Thanksgiving to all!

The end of 2020 is with sight, it has been a very interesting year. Hoping 2021 returns us to more of a normal life?

In spite of all the difficulties, we had a very good year. We made Cars & Coffee work, the Regional meet went better than expected, and we adapted to new ways to keep in touch with everybody.

The last ZOOM meeting is Monday eve, Nov 16 at 7:00 PM. Here is the link:

No password, waiting room when logging in, Dan will accept you into the meeting. Should be fun, informative, and chaotic! I'll be on from 6:30 onwards, so can help with any log-in problems before the start. As usual, we'll be social for a little bit, allow for any late log-ins, and then dive in. Pizza and beverage optional!
Attached to this e-mail is the meeting agenda. Please contact Dan if you see any glaring errors, want to have something added, or anything relating to the meeting.

Also attached are two pictured from the club presentation of the 2020 NEREG donation. Great time, and they were very appreciative.

And, 2021 is just around the corner, so dues are again open. Mail or on the club website (https://www.lvpasaac.com/store/memberships.html)

Looking forwards to seeing you then, keep warm, safe, and sane!

The Cobra has gotten into the act

I'll toss in a few Monkey wrenches!

Agreed above, the motor could be moving during shifts due to soft motor mounts, binding the "Z" bar, and the once fluid action is now jammed or harder. Also, no one has talked about the flywheel. Is it warped, burnt, cracked, too old to work well? If it is unhappy, change that.

I use the SPEC clutch. It's stock style, but a little beefier. Has held up to all my shenanigans, survived two exploding engines.

Also, if you are not concerned about being perfect, consider an external hydraulic set-up? Superior to any mechanical linkage.

Also, the 68 Sequentials were NOT Cougar or T-Bird based, rather an aftermarket piece purchased from J.C. Whitney. Able to install just in the trunk, but also made the brake lights sequence, which was illegal in California, New York, and Florida. Cars sold new in those states had the units removed.

The 65-68 T-Bird/Cougar Sequentials were such an interwoven wiring system, it could not be integrated. The 69-70 Shelby's used the Modern solid state trunk sequential unit by adapting the 69-70 Cougar rear wiring harness into the Mustang.
