Suprised to find there is a real FRS in Dayton Mn. Those two Brits were great chaps. Get on that pump mod. Was there a class for the little cars? Your car looked very good!! :) the sun came out!!

Almost stopped by the show but just didn't have time. Looks like a decent turnout.

Steveo you need to grabe the Bizz. From those Brits that build those Rally Fiestas in Dayton Mn . They said they may go to cars & coffee 1st sat In Oct, we should have a group meet to park next them. Wheels & wings was great this year, 5th fastest car in the 1/4 mile radar run was a focus 109 mph missing 4 th gear. Guys sitting nexto pbzx3 & i were laughing " oh look grannies focus is going to run" they were shocked!!! Many new Mustangs ran Paul calls them Mustanks!!! It fits! :)

Is that the same FRS that was at BIR this year for MAPerformance? If so, that thing is SICK! I hope it'll be at Apple Valley this weekend, because I'll more than likely be hovering around that for most of the day.

Not out to build up a trophy collection but when a 30 footer falcon gets one and 99 mustangs get one just seams like we were not welcome?? Stilz, pbzx3 were there as well. It is a mustang show.Not focus fokes. I have always wondered why you have to pay to show your cars ??? :-)

I sort of understand, that's why I stopped going to SVT club meets but going to a show with a bunch of other Focus guys just to hang out is always a good time.

Too bad they don't run auto crosses at more shows, that'd put the 'Stang guys in their place trying to match the times of a sad little Focus. :lol:

Well if I'm going to get mentioned, I better chime in on this.
Most of the classes in the shows are based on certain types of cars, and yes (unfortunately) there are a LOT of mustang classes, but that's because there happen to BE a lot of mustangs. If there were more cars participating on a regular basis, there would be more classes. I.E. If more foci showed up... there might be an individual focus class.
I can't speak for this years show that just happened, but last year I enjoyed a couple of great shows with these guys. I enjoy the fact that they actually DO stuff... instead of having small groups get together, then cliqs form.
Take my words with a grain of salt, I have been in a desolate sand box for half a year.
BTW HI EVERYBODY! :lol:
