Another OKC Pony

Greetings,

Added to your number is yet another "old guy" (EMHS class of '81, OSU '86) and from N. OKC to boot.

I've owned a mustang of some form since 1978. My first car was a Millionth Mustang sales promotional '66 vert. It was midnight blue with blue interior and white top. We were the second owner Owned the car for 30 years.

I've also had a '65 fastback (during college) and a '66 "Trans-Am" type coupe resto-mod.

Sold the vert & the coupe in '06 to buy the Grabber Orange GT500. I had always dreamed of racing mustangs and bought this one to do just that. So after an initial shakedown at Hallett, I made my list of necessary improvements. She currently has the Griggs GR40RT rear suspension with a TruTrac diff & 3.73 gears; Steeda front coilovers, bump-steer & lowering kits; some brake upgrades; C&L cai, VMP 2.65" pulley & tune with a PSE ported OE blower. Inside it has a 4-pt roll bar, Corbeau seats & 5-pt harnesses.

This winter my goal is to install the Griggs SLA on the front. But the "tax man" is going to have to work with me on that one.

Here are some pic's

I spend a good deal of time up at Hallett and the family always makes it to the Mid America Meet, so I hope to meet some of you there. I recognize the screen names of a few members here from Team Shelby.

wow, thats awesome! and GO POKES!!!

Hey Jeff glad you made it over! The Shelby meet is out flagship event every year. I'm sure we saw you last year. Love the car and the fact that you race it. Looks great. How did the rear end suspension upgrades improve things over stock? I bet it helped a bunch.

HOLY HELL that is one amazing machine.....Glad you made it over here Jeff! We are a great bunch....have a lot of sacrastic humor about us...but also respect each other. I think you'll fit in just fine.. also have about 4 other GT500 owners here and a few that are definitely interested in Hallett. Again thanks for stopping in, kick your shoes off and enjoy your stay!


Oh and thanks for now making my car look like shit......

You will find that Grabber Orange isnt the best color around here

It promotes Jealousy and envy....which intern makes others throw out the "yellow school bus" analogies.

Hell they named my car the "flying cheeto"

Beautiful ride. Nice to have another Shelby in the bunch, and I'm sure Jarrod is ecstatic that there is another Grabber Orange to help his cause. Hope to see you on here, and meet up with you and your family.

GO POKES and GO STEELERS!!!!

Glad to have you. Sorry about the color though.. lol..

You boys cut it out.

LOL, once I got the corner workers to stop calling it "yellow" they nick named me "Mango"!

Ha I dont think Ive heard Mango thrown out there yet

Ive heard butterscotch as well....Im seriosly considering "NOTYELO" for my license plate

Welcome Jeff! Sweet ass ride. Love it!

Glad to have you Jeff. It is a very nice looking machine! It is always good to have another Poke fan in here.

Jeff... noticed you had a PSE SuperCharger Windsheild decal... We have another member that uses Ed.

Ed knows his stuff. He has done all of my mods and is my unofficial "sponsor" for my track addiction

Is the other member "Bob" by any chance? Tricked out red GT with the "spoiler delete" and too many mods to count? We know each other, haven't heard from him in a while though.

Red Silver Stripes??? ROush SC ? "Blingy Bob?" by chance? Older fella.

He's one of the original founders of the club. We love Grumpy Bob.

Where is Blingy Bob at, we need him out at our shows this year

We need to find Bob again!! I bet he comes out of the woodwork when it gets warmer....car shows! I know he will be at shelby...he had too much fun at Hallett last year.

Hey Paul....post those Hallett videos from shelby last year! Im sure Jeff would want to see them, seeing that hes a fan of the twisties

welcome, i can't believe none of these guys gave you a damn beer yet. selfish f___ers are keeping all to themselves. well since i don't really like beer you can have mine.

Great looking car welcome. I know your a fan of the road course but have you ever taken it down the drag strip? I was just thinking that suspention might hook and through out some good times. P.S. nice to see another grabber orange car so we can sit back and watch Jarrod drule all over the place.

Here's thy Videos... (Love Hallett)
