Crikey! :o

Why are FFW people asses? I've always had a great time at every event I have attended. Heck, they even let 18-second Foci win trophies, they can't be all that bad.

Because they wouldn't let my car enter and called it a disgrace to Ford. Even though I would have molested their focii The GF and I will never attend one of those events again. There was way too much flak given to me. I've already made note to all the Escort forums and none of us will go and race. I adressed the issue on their forums and the mod guy "George Klass" told me that if I gave him 20k he'd let me in with my own class .

Even the vendors there were rude. I asked this parts place if they had any parts for the SPI motor which is primarily the same SPI motor in the focud and they said they didn't sell to Escorts owners. It was a pretty horrible event that I will never attend. We got some cool pics and videos when we went too. But the administration is just downright rude in any aspect.

I was told if I had a Focus it would be different since it's a sponsored class hah. Oh well like I said I won't attend another, nor will my friends for that matter. Good times

Let's keep this thread on topic though. If y'all want to bitter batter about FFW we can start another thread

How is the car a disgrace? lol If you were in Europe you wouldn't call the car a disgrace or if I had a cossie, you wouldn't either The Ford Escort has been around as long as the Mustangs have.

I know someone in Ft. Lauderdale that has a 'scort that would eat your cobra for an afternoon snack Something around 545 whp or something

I am not going to banter about the eligibility of my car though. If you want that bring it to the tells or another thread

Back on topic! *rawr*

Dude, that's just outright rude. He probably drives what he can afford and has some pride in his car.

Maybe your a disgrace to mustang owners, show some respect.
