MUSTANGS vs THE WORLD PART 1 25 JAN 2009

[spdpilot]

Legal drag racing is alive and well in San Diego, California. WickedStangs Mustang Club sponsored a street car racing event at Barona Speedway 1/8th mile and the competition was fierce. Cars from all across Southern California rolled into the speedway seeking bragging rights to the first ever Mustang vs. The World bracket racing trophies. Club president, Emilio Valdez, stated, “Keeping racing off the streets and on the track is the main objective, however inspiring young drag racers and having fun is the club main objective”. Many clubs spend there time at the dyno shop and local car shows, but WickedStangs is all about getting cars down the asphalt.

Thats a great start to an article. You may want to do two articles, one full article and one press release with race results. The reference to the street racing is a great hook/interest for the media. They love printing high interest subjects. Oops...sorry the marketing guy in me is coming out again.

No, he has a good point, the more exposure the better.

Remember this is going to be a lesson learned. We are going to have hiccups we just need to make sure the next one is better and all the problems this time get fixed... I like to say Thanks to all that are helping out and coming out to this event..

Good point. Weather may be a factor in attendence as well, rain or not. There will be issues. I think your approach is very smart. You are also in part depending on Barona to make it enjoyable. All of this is still an unknown. Regardless, as long as there is racing, it will be fun.

Thank you and to all Wicked Stang members for doing this event for all of us Ford/Mustang guys out here. Much appreciated.

I should have thought of this a while ago, TO THOSE THAT ARE MILITARY, MAKE SURE YOU ASK FOR THE DISCOUNT WHEN YOU PAY AT THE BOOTH. THEY WILL NOT GO OUT OF THEIR WAY TO GIVE YOU A DISCOUNT IF YOU DONT ASK FOR IT. Im sure most of you guys know this but there maybe some of you that dont know this.

only missing about 700hp for that to happen.

there are plenty of drag cars pushing 800-1000 but i see all with wheelie bars.

 

[orange395w]

that's because while it looks cool to do that it's not very effective for the best E.T.

That's a bad car! I've seen it in Van Nuys CA before those X2C guys closed shop. They built some nice stuff....of thier own. They never got a solid customer base and now it's an import tuning shop.
