I took the Marauder to the Rocky Mountain Mustang Roundup in Steamboat Springs, CO last weekend. They have a couple of Special Interest, non Mustang classes. In the past, I have taken my Mustang, but this year it wasn't in the cards, plus I wanted to race.

I didn't place in the Autocross Friday, I got beat by two Pythons, though my time could have placed in some of the Mustang classes.

I did win an Award of Excellence in the 68 and up Non-Mustang Class! After years of taking my Mustang, I finally win with the Marauder.

Anyway, on to some pics:

How about a rear wheel drive Focus with a Cobra 4 valve motor?

The event is fun.

The wheels are Ford GT Style wheels, 18 x 9, with Nitto 555s, 255 in front, 275 in the rear. They had about 300 miles on them when I staged for the Autocross.

They are for 2005+ Mustangs. I learned the hard way, the 9" wheels work, the 10" ones do not.

The Focus ran when I was working the course, so I didn't take any video. If some turns up, I'll post it.
