    Thank you everyone for the warm welcomes, can't wait to get going on the Corty! But, for those who've asked, my other track car....Done well over 60 events in the last 6 years...Infineon (Sears) for us old timers, Laguna Seca, Thunderhill, Reno Fernley and Buttomwillow...My 68 Cougar "One Bad Cat".

    I hope the Cortina goes airborne as well, thanks for the compliments. On the Cougar, running a 331 making 460hp or so, TKO 600, Moser 9 inch, 13 x 1.25 Wilwood 6 pistons in front 12.2 x .81's in the back with 4 piston Superlites and Carbotech pads, all Maier suspension front and rear with the new TrackBar system out back, TCP manual rack and pinion, 17x9 Vintage Wheel Works wheels in front and 17x11's in back, running Kuhmo V710's at the moment, Bilstien shocks, custom 8 point cage, Halon fire system, Accusump, Lexan windows, glass bumpers and decklid and a bunch of other goodies....
    I do 10-12 track days a year depending on how the schedules work out, I slowed down this year so far just because of all the dang projects and a job change. The last couple of years have been fun, really have the car dialed in, good balance, pretty good reliability and fairly low maintenance......

    +1! But me thinks it's photoshopped. It doessn't bother me either way because I can't get my car airborne and I can't do photoshop!!

    No photoshoppery cheatin here! Don't know how to use it either.. I have the photo sequence of it going up the hill and one wheel at a time coming off and it landing on the other side. The photographer told me it went skyward no less than 25 times during the 4 runs in the afternoon.
