[707Fitty]

So tomorrows the day meeting up at 9:15. I just got back from the route we are going to take tomorrow just wanted to check out some places were I can pull over to get the group of cars doing some flybys to make a good video edit. The weather was absolutely perfect today there was in the 70'd with a light cool breeze. I want to do one last headcount as I already talked to the people at outback steackhouse and told them we should be arriving with about 30 people told them if theres more ill call them to let them know. There is a lot of parking there since best buy that's next to it recently closed down so we will park to get some good photos of the group. See you guys there tomorrow!

What a great day!
Sharon & I met the group at Sears Point, there were over 30 in all, 20 Mustangs of various models, all them fairly recent . There were no vintage models, yet, that is. Many of them will soon be great collectables. Additionally there were 7 or 8 Brand Xs, including 5 late model Corvettes as well as 6 motorcycles.


After meeting many others and talking cars we left for an easy caravan up highway 116 to Petaluma for a fuel stop, good thing too, my Whipple equipped motor runs a lot of gas through the 32 valves. We decided to be last just in case my F-150 couldn't keep up on the winding 2 lane highway 1 to Sausalito. Much to my surprise the Ridetech air suspension and 4 link rear end allows it to handle extremely well for a 5k pound truck. Didn't have any trouble staying on the pace.

Once at Sausalito we enjoyed lunch at the Outback Steakhouse with more conversation about all things Blue Oval.
We're looking forward to the next event.

Thanks to those who put it together and to the motorcyclists who kept leap-frogging ahead and holding traffic at Stop signs while we cruised through like a parade.

What a great day and awesome turnout it was. I appreciate everyone that came out and attended the event and hope you all enjoyed it as well. I will be working on the video edit and will make a new tread and post up the pictures either tonight or tomorrow I gotta go through all them. We will be putting another one together soon so stay on the look out thanks once again!

Nice to meet you today John,got to admit you have a bad ass truck and was done right. Their where alot of people missing thats for sure my wife couldnt make it she has her own 03 f150 Harley but couldnt attend to this one. I do agreed not many vintage attend mostly bc off the sac and sears point event weekend. Yes got to give props to 707fifty for setting this one almost alone we ussualy get together and plan this out, I guess you can say we like to go all out lol and also guys on bikes for the escorting road and route will need them again and more. See you guys next month or 2

Nice video

 

[dunndeal]

After Sunday's run down Highway 1 I realize that the factory disc brakes don't equal the acceleration and handling capabilities of my truck so I'm upgrading to a Wilwood Big Brake Kit.

I'll buy it from either Jegs or Summit Racing, does anyone have experience with these two retailers?

 

[Stanger00]

I buy nearly all of my automotive parts from Summit. Stuff usually shows up in 1 day or 2 and its priced reasonably as well. Free shipping if you spend over 99.
