anyone see the speedvision A-sedan race?

it was a damn interesting race to watch...there was a couple of late model mustangs and about thirty 3rd-Gens racing
too bad a damn 96-98 stang won, a 82-84 TA could have won if it didn't have a bad oil leak with a few laps left

I am going to leave this open but you are a little out of the scope of this board. Lets try to keep our posts related to Thirdgen detailing and appearance.

I saw it, really cool. There were 1 or 2 4th gens in there. It was awesome to see people still race these car. Check this out for the class rules

Too bad there are all limited to 5.0, if it was just stock engine size, the 350 1le cars would be unstopable.

Awesome race. Mid Ohio right? That TA was burning a lot of oil and ran like 10 laps with no oil. The ROC behind him had to slow right down, becase of the smoke screen he was putting up.

Ps- You have to relate it to appearance. See:

Hey, did you see the race at Mid-Ohio on Speedvision. It was awesome! Could you paint an IROC like that and look cool on the street? But the race was awesomw; did you see...

Things like that are exactly why i love Speedvision, their not afraid to broadcast the little guy races. IMO, they are the most interesting to watch.
