    The people there were awesome, especially the organizers. A lot of these guys travel the country doing this stuff and form strong friendships that can be daunting for first timers to feel included, but everyone is super nice

  5. Optima Ultimate Street Car Challenge with the Boss recap

    Besides the Invitational in Vegas no, I need to give my wallet time to recover and the rest of the events are too far or incompatible with my calendar, which is a shame because these events ARE A BLAST!
  6. Optima Ultimate Street Car Challenge with the Boss recap

    Thanks guys, if anyone is on the fence about this event you should get your car teched, bleed your brakes and GO!!! It is an absolute steal for 250 bucks for first timers for the whole weekend! I challenge anyone to have more fun in their street car than one of these events. Go to driveusca.com
  7. Optima Ultimate Street Car Challenge with the Boss recap

    This last weekend I accepted Ken Thwaits challenge (of Showtime Motorsports) and towed my Mustang to MIS to face him in the Optima Search for the Ultimate Street Car and after a rocky start getting the car out there my team and I won the three thousand dollar prize (more about the challenge...
  8. Juggernaut Mustang only even at Thompson

    Re: Juggernait Mustang only even at ThompsonI am going to this! Look for the PW Boss with a red hood with the bozo behind the wheel
  9. RBDETT's '12 Boss autox/track build thread

    The arms come with a grease fitting that is often improperly placed (it intrudes too far into the bushing area) and needs to be ground down after a test fitting of the bushings. It is a time consuming process to get those bushings in and properly fitted to the arms. If you go this route make...
  10. RBDETT's '12 Boss autox/track build thread

    Wow that is cheap then! I'm not mounting it in the trunk and will trickle charge it when not running (the car gets driven maybe once or twice a week) and also hope the tiger hood and cooling mods will keep underhood temps down. Either way we will find out!
  11. RBDETT's '12 Boss autox/track build thread

    Agreed, although since I got it through amazon their return policy isn't bad. We will see how this battery does but it is cheaper and lighter than a PC680 and MUCH cheaper than the similar spec'd Braille battery. Hopefully the car won't have to be push started too often :)
  12. RBDETT's '12 Boss autox/track build thread

    So I have some updates to my build. A long list of stuff Rehagen and an installation from DWW racing. I decided to go with this battery tender battery and hope that heat won't be as much of an issue anymore with a total overhaul of the cooling system by DWW and a tiger racing hood. Also includes...
  13. RBDETT's '12 Boss autox/track build thread

    I will definitely consider Cortex, you guys are usually at the top of my list when I consider mods, we will see what Chicane 23 or Rehagen can do for me pricing wise. As an update I recently purchased an MGW race spec shifter form someone selling one on this forum, I can't wait to start this...
  14. RBDETT's '12 Boss autox/track build thread

    Thanks! That really pains me to know I missed out on the Cortex group buy, that is my favorite Watts design out there, I may just go with the Whiteline unit as my buddy is a dealer and can get me one for around 700 shipped
  15. RBDETT's '12 Boss autox/track build thread

    Hey all! Long time lurker but some of you may recognize me from facebook!As a little background I purchased my Boss while overseas and got to come home to an awesome car. The car has grown with my driving ability from stock to various forms over the years but I am now ready to get more...
