<P>Some of us met up in Houston for the Fun Ford Weekend at Baytown Raceway
Park on April 19th, 1997.&nbsp; Sam Bulger also made it, but only three of
us actually SHOwed our cars in the car show.&nbsp; None of the SHOs won
a prize, but we had stiff competition from a couple of dozen Mustangs (new
and old), the entire Ford Falcon Club of Houston (who sponsored the car
show) as well a couple of kit Shelby Cobras and other Ford HiPerformance
vehicles.

and Phil's 94.

<P>Besides the car show (where we spent most of the day) we also saw lots
of drag racing, both street cars and race cars.&nbsp; Best event was the
two turbine jet powered cars that deafened us with their ~7 second quarter
mile dragrace.&nbsp; If you've ever been to an airshow, imagine a fighter
jet flying down the runway at full throttle during takeoff - within several
hundred feet of you.&nbsp; THAT'S how loud it was.. ;-)
