Personally, I'd like to see some high end drag racers as members. Keep in mind
how huge the Mustang drag racing scene is. There are plenty of guys pushing
the envelope and they are on the cutting edge of technology. Input from them
would be incredible. We have that on a somewhat limited basis on "the other" site.

Tony,
I'm definitely no big name racer who travels around the country, hehe.
I usually make the FFW Houston and FFW Ennis events, and just run True Street since all of the other classes are high $$ to be competitive in. I've won the True Street low 11sec avg 3 different times (both Houston and Ennis events in 03). Basically, I have a street car on DRs that with a little more tuning and seat time should be in the mid 10s with a 4r70w trans and be able to drive to and from the track.
I'm not trying to "sell" ya on anything, haha. Just letting you know I'm not the kind of racer you'd want to sponsor since I don't have the truck/trailer/money to go travelling around racing in heads up events and be competitve. Mainly, I was kidding around with the entire "sponsorship" thing b/c I can't really spend any money on my car anymore, hehe.
My car could be a 9 second DR car with a motor rebuild, a good port job on the heads and intake, and by changing my pulley out. With a true street car like myself, the most I've known people to get from sponsors is their entry fees paid, maybe money for fuel, and things like that.

LS1TECH vs. HTM would be an awesome event.
