Welcome To Washington...

[89MustangGX]

Well, here I am!

I finally made it here to Washington. I packed up everything in my F150, my trailer, and my car and made the trek across the country from Connecticut, of course I took the long way around and enjoyed the scenery.

Anyway, now that I'm here in beautiful Mill Creek and starting to settle in, I need to start meeting some of you guys and hitting some of the local tracks, etc. I need someone to fill me in on the local happenings, and which the closest and best tracks are, when to go, all that good stuff.

My budget isn't as big as it used to be, especially since I just moved and have no job at the moment, but I'm all for having some fun still. My 87 is very early in it's building stages, and not nearly as flashy as my 88 was, but I need to get it out and have some fun with it.

I have plenty of tools, knowledge, and time so if anyone needs a hand with anything, I'm up for that too.

Last time I was here I met a couple people at the Burgermaster down the street here on a Friday night, but that was a while ago. Hopefully I meet up with more of you and we can hang out and have some fun.

Talk to you soon!

Welcome to Washington.
the BM meets are still going on. you're in the right location for that. this weekend there's the SVT meet in Marymoore.

i'm sure we'll all meet up soon enough now that the season is in full swing.

welcome, man!

Thanks -- I don't know the area at all, so I'm trying to keep up with what other people mention and figure out if they're close or not. I suppose it will take some time, but I'll get to meet everyone and make my way around.

89MustangGX: How hard was it to swap a 302 in a car that was normally a 4cyl? Is there much to do other then the basic wiring harnesses, motor mounts tranny swap?

I moved from Connecticut. My parents had moved out here a few years back and it's much nicer here than back east. The only thing I'm going to miss here is the racing -- there's alot more of it on the other coast.

It's not worth it -- especially with the availability of nice cars around here. If you look around you'll see it's fairly involved, and IMO not worth it.

ok... so how did you get the caption under your name to say "I have nothing productive to add!"

That was given to me by one of the moderators of the board -- just as a joke though! (I hope). It's not something you can set yourself.

 

[dTas95GT]

ah! that makes sense... at first i thought it had something to do with your post count being so high.
