    Wink New to AZ (Peoria)

    Hey All...

    Just moved here about a month ago (very lost lol) from the Chicago area

    Long time Car Guy...Ford 24/7 for the most part!

    Ran and showed in the NMRA / NMCA back home - we were pretty lucky to have three 1/4 mile tracks real close and an awesome couple of twisty tracks. Tons of local cruise spots around the burbs, easy to find a place to go most every night of the week so was always busy throughout the summer! Always easy to find new friends at these car events - Hopefully can find some of the same action down here...soon!!!

    My baby is a 1996 Mystic Cobra #544 - had her since new and my friends and I have done all the mods (pretty much all the bolt on options out there), still got a few things I would like to do (port and polish the heads, cam, etc.) but need to fix an exhaust leak ASAP that will be a total PITA and get some window tints plus clean her up after the long trip from IL...but excited to get out!



    Daily driver is an 03 SVT Focus (Zippy) - fun little car, great mpg and actually pretty quick once she gets going (no low end Tq hahaha)


    Once I get squared away here will Want/Need to pick up a "race car" would like to find an 03/04 Cobra, maybe a killer notch or an AC Cobra (wouldn't we all) some day soon!

    Oh...also looking for a career opportunity! Marketing, Product Management, Key Account Mangement... have worked in energy, consumer electronics, telecommunications (cable and satellite), mfg etc. but open to most everything * any help is always appreciated!

    Look forward to seeing what is out here - Thanks again!

    Thanks, she is my baby
    Met a few WWMC guys at the Pavilion show a couple weeks back (great show, but long drive haha) Tried to sign up on their message board there, got the OK email but the account doesn't seem to have ever been accepted...
    Cruise sounds great, but I need to get that d*mn exhaust leak fixed and a few other things before she gets any major miles - Plus she is tuned for 93 (usually gets a few gallons of 100 too) octane...
