Where exactly is this?
Looks like Manchester, Connecticutt just east of Hartford, CT. About 342 miles for you, Doom -- roughly a 6 hour drive. Of course, you could probably make it in 4 and 1/2 hours if you don't get snagged in traffic on the NJ Turnpike or around NYC. ;)

The irony is that one of the nations best tuners for our cars is right around the corner. J and M Motorsports. They specialize in dyno tunes for all cars, but specifically NA and blown Mach's, Cobra's and all other modular engines. They got my MM right now. :-)

Bought a bunch of stuff for her and trying to get it done. Just installed my new SW maucat system but ran into a snag the drivers side manifold o2 sensor refused to come out so had to order a new one from Ford.

Plus I tor down the intake waiting for Dennis to get the coolant equalizer kit to me I ordered seeing I was doing the headers so without those 2 things comming in time I don't know.

I have always wanted to go to shows and meet people but always felt funny always having a factory stock MM knowing that all or most of you had done so much to them.

Now that I have finaly been able to buy some stuff and put it on would love to go to things but at the mercy of the door bell ring for delivery's.

This show is the reason I have a MM...I was driving by MU and saw a show going on ....saw a MM and talked to the owner and it reignited my want to own one(my wife wanted an SUV in 2004)He said there is one up the street for sale so off I sped and the rest is history....
I may just have to show up....

But I don't think I will make it still waiting for the equalizer kit so kind of stuck until I can put the engine back together.
Got the O2 sensor from the Dealer I needed so the headers and cat's are done now there is one thing out of the way.

the parking lot layout has been done, and we will have a section for marauders, so lets try and get as many as possible, if we have enough turnout, we should be able to get our own class next year

Ya know what? I did some googling and came up with this....

PDF LINKY (http://www.cougarclub.org/Documents/CT_07-19-09.pdf)

It's not dated on the flyer for '09, but the PDF is named 07-19-09 so I'd say we're good....

There was also a nod on the MU website....

C-Ya Sunday....

Jonathan

I truly wated to go but she isn't back together yet need a dipstick tube and the coolant equalizer kit from Dennis to come in before she is on the road.

That's it for mod's this year I am pretty sure as I am flat out busted. So once she is up and running I swear I will go to the next local event and meet some of you guys!

Sounds like you all had a good time!
