Thought Provoking  How old is Grandpa??? Stay with this -- the answer is at the end. It will blow you away. One evening a grandson was talking to his grandfather about current events. The grandson asked his grandfather what he thought about the shootings at schools, the computer age, and just things in general. The Grandfather replied, 'Well, let me think a minute, I was born before: ' television ' penicillin ' polio shots ' frozen foods ' Xerox ' contact lenses ' Frisbees and ' the pill  There were no: 'credit cards ' laser beams or ' ball-point pens Man had not invented: 'panty hose ' air conditioners ' dishwashers ' clothes dryers ' and the clothes were hung out to dry in the fresh air and ' man hadn't yet walked on the moon  Your Grandmother and I got married first, . . . and then lived together. Every family had a father and a mother. Until I was 25, I called every man older than me, 'Sir'. And after I turned 25, I still called policemen and every man with a title, 'Sir.' We were before gay-rights, computer- dating, dual careers, day-care centers, and group therapy. Our lives were governed by the Ten Commandments, good judgment, and common sense.. We were taught to know the difference between right and wrong and to stand up and take responsibility for our actions. Serving your country was a privilege; living in this country was a bigger privilege. We thought fast food was what people ate during Lent. Having a meaningful relationship meant getting along with your cousins. Draft dodgers were people who closed their front doors when the evening breeze started. Time-sharing meant time the family spent together in the evenings and weekends-not purchasing condominiums. We never heard of FM radios, tape decks, CDs, electric typewriters, yogurt, or guys wearing earrings. We listened to the Big Bands, Jack Benny, and the President's speeches on our radios. And I don't ever remember any kid blowing his brains out listening to Tommy Dorsey. If you saw anything with 'Made in Japan ' on it, it was junk The term 'making out' referred to how you did on your school exam. Pizza Hut, McDonald's, and instant coffee were unheard of. We had 5 &10-cent stores where you could actually buy things for 5 and 10 cents. Ice-cream cones, phone calls, rides on a streetcar, and a Pepsi were all a nickel. And if you didn't want to splurge, you could spend your nickel on enough stamps to mail 1 letter and 2 postcards. You could buy a new Chevy Coupe for $600, . . but who could afford one? Too bad, because gas was 11 cents a gallon. In my day: ' 'grass' was mowed, ' 'coke' was a cold drink, ' 'pot' was something your mother cooked in and ' 'rock music' was your grandmother's lullaby. ' 'Aids' were helpers in the Principal's office, ' 'chip' meant a piece of wood, ' 'hardware' was found in a hardware store and ' 'software' wasn't even a word. And we were the last generation to actually believe that a lady needed a husband to have a baby No wonder people call us 'old and confused' and say there is a generation gap... and how old do you think I am? I bet you have this old man in mind... you are in for a shock! Read on to see -- pretty scary if you think about it and pretty sad at the same time.. Are you ready ?????  This man would be only 59 years old. My ,My How Things Have Changed. |

TRACK PACK FOR 2010 MUSTANG  ENTHUSIASTS CAN ADD NEW FACTORY TRACK PACK FOR 2010 MUSTANG, INSTALL FORD RACING PARTS * Factory-installed Track Pack option features upgraded suspension parts, unique tuning and special 19-inch Pirelli summer tires for enthusiasts seeking even more performance * Track Pack is available this summer on 2010 Mustang GT coupes with manual transmissions * Car and Driver magazine selects 2010 Mustang fit with Track Pack as best muscle car in comparison test versus Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Challenger * Parts from Ford Racing’s FR3 Handling Pack available for enthusiasts seeking even more – backed by warranty and available for self or dealer installation The 2010 Ford Mustang, now in dealer showrooms, builds on a proud, unbroken 45-year heritage of Fast, Fun and Affordable with an all-new exterior design, available cutting-edge technology and performance enhancements pioneered on Ford’s extensive racing and special programs. One hallmark of Mustang’s enduring popularity is the opportunity to customize this American icon. Enthusiasts who have personalized and customized Mustangs range from legends, such as Carroll Shelby, to professional drivers to hobbyists who enjoy a weekend at the track. For those customers interested in more-aggressive performance, an optional factory-installed Track Pack is available this summer for 2010 Ford Mustang GT coupes with manual transmission. Ford Racing’s FR3 Handling Package also is available for those enthusiasts who want even more aggressive suspension tuning and can be installed in their garage or at a Ford dealer. Car and Driver magazine recently declared a 2010 Mustang equipped with a Track Pack the winner in a comparison test against the new Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Challenger, calling the body control of the Mustang with the Track Pack “astounding.” For decades, the Mustang has been the preeminent car in many forms of racing compiling victories and championships on road courses all over the world. In just the last few years Ford Racing’s Mustang FR500C captured the European GT4 drivers championship (2007, 2008) and the Grand-AM KONI Challenge championship (2005, 2008). “At Ford, we always apply what we learn at the track to the street,” said Fritz Wilke, Mustang Performance/Enthusiast Manager. “The Track Pack and Ford Racing FR3 Handling Pack continue that heritage and give our performance customers great ways to have an even sportier experience in the 2010 Mustang GT coupe.” Packaged aimed at performance enthusiasts Both the 2010 V-6 and GT models feature improved handling, but Team Mustang wanted to create a distinctive option package aimed at performance enthusiasts. Starting with the 2010 GT manual coupe, the engineering team was able to create a package that hits the sweet spot. The first ingredient was to add a high-performance summer tire, and the 19-inch Pirelli P Zero P255/40ZR-19 proved to be an inspired choice for improved grip. Ford’s engineering team then went to work on the underpinnings of the 2010 Mustang GT coupe, using Ford’s proven technology from the Shelby GT500 program. The front and rear stabilizer bars from the 2009 Shelby GT500 complement the Pirelli tires and help balance the Track Pack 2010 Mustang GT coupe front to rear. The struts and shocks were retuned for the increased capability of the new tire and stabilizer bar changes. The engineering team also spent significant time at the track to ensure the Track Pack was rewarding on the track and offered a balance of spirited driving and track prowess. The roll gradient (how much the car rolls while steering) was reduced nearly 13 percent compared with the base 2010 Mustang GT. Damping was increased by 23 percent in the front and 8 percent in the rear in the low- to mid-speed compared to the 2010 Mustang GT. “By reducing the roll gradient, the car stays flatter in turns,” said Tom Barnes, Vehicle Engineering Manager, 2010 Mustang. “And when the car is flatter, the driver is more in command and more confident in what the car’s doing. “Great handling comes from great control. A driver’s control of the vehicle is facilitated by information. This Track Pack communicates to the driver through the tires and suspension so well that is it easy to drive very quickly. It rewards smooth driving, while offering great capacity to cover driver error.” Looking at all areas for improvement In addition to the hardware changes and extensive tuning, the Ford team also took a more holistic approach to improving the Track Pack Mustang. “Handling is not just chassis,” Barnes said. “Vehicle dynamics – how the Mustang responds under acceleration and braking – is important as well.” The solution from the powertrain part of the equation was to use a 3.73 limited-slip axle with carbon-fiber clutch plates. “The 3.73 axle allows for a more-responsive Mustang, especially at mid-range speeds,” Barnes said. “The carbon-fiber plates allow a very robust architecture in terms of temperature and repeated hard driving on the track.” Performance® Friction brake pads, which better resist brake fade, are used front and rear. Both the anti-lock braking system (ABS) and AdvanceTrac were retuned to complement the advanced capabilities of the new tires and brakes. AdvanceTrac is standard on the 2010 GT coupe and can be operated in any of three modes: On, Off or Sport. “The Track Pack covers all the bases,” Barnes said. “The new tires give the Mustang more grip, we have a more-responsive acceleration, better brake linings that are more consistent over time and the car is tied down better because of the changes to the bars and the shock tuning.” “Track Pack has the grip, the handling and it has the ‘go.’ And it absolutely can be used as a daily driver. Track Pack offers the best of both worlds – great performance on the track or if you’re cruising down the road.” Ford Racing’s FR3 Handling Pack features components proven out on the racetrack. Included in the pack are dampers, lowering springs, sway bars and a strut tower brace. “The FR3 Handling Pack is derived from our extensive experience with the Ford Mustang FR500C competing in the Grand-Am KONI Challenge and FIA GT4,” said Andy Slankard, Engineering Supervisor, Ford Racing. Enhancements from the FR3 Handling Pack include: * Ride height lowered by more than 1 inch * Increased spring rate by about 75 pounds to improve turn in and mid-corner performance * Front and rear sway bars stiffened to eliminate roll * Re-tuned dampers, increasing the compression and rebound The Track Pack retails for $1,495 while the FR3 Handling Pack retails for $1,335. |

New 351 Block From Ford Racing  Dearborn, Mich. — Ford Racing follows the Boss 302 block released in 2006, with the new Boss 351 featuring performance and packaging that will accommodate displacements from 351 to more than 460 cubic inches. “Whether they’re racing in a sealed-engine class, building an all-out drag racing engine, or looking for a street performer, the Boss 351 block meets the needs of all Ford 351 enthusiasts, at a price comparable with a performance-prepped stock block,” Brian Wolfe, director, North America Motorsports, said. The Boss 351 block is based on Windsor 351 architecture with a Cleveland sized 2.75 inches main bearing journal. Available in two deck heights, 9.2-inch and 9.5-inch, the Boss 351 is designed for performance with 4-bolt main caps, and screw-in freeze plugs. Technological improvements such as splayed main bolts, Siamese bores with engineered coolant cross-drilling, front cross-over lifter oiling, and diesel-grade iron with 41,000 psi tensile strength separate the new Boss 351 from both stock and aftermarket blocks. Max stroke is up to 4.25 inches depending on crankshaft manufacturer with max bore size topping out at 4.125 inches with coolant cross drilling. A non cross-drilled block with increased bore capacity will be available by third quarter. The new Boss 351 is built from all new tooling and incorporates technical developments compiled by Ford Racing engineers and racers. This new block is expected to see wide use in circle-track racing, from NASCAR Late Models to Dirt Modifieds and Late Models. “Enthusiasts are making big power, 600, even 700 hp, the Boss 351 meets their demand for a reliable, high power foundation,” said Wolfe. “Race-specific blocks offer the strength required, but cool poorly for street use and are very expensive for the average enthusiast. The new Boss 351 block features greater strength than most race blocks, a street-capable cooling design, and affordable pricing due to high-volume production. High-volume production also leads to the improved quality and durability you would expect from any Ford block.” Affordably priced to get enthusiasts’ hearts pumping, suggested retail price for the Boss 351 block is $1,999. A Boss 351-based crate engine with 427cid is expected to be available by the fourth quarter of 2009. |

WILDEN, REHAGEN RACING RETURN TO MID-OHIO SEEKING ANOTHER KONI CHALLENGE WIN  Two years ago, Ken Wilden was making only his second start in one of Rehagen Racing’s Ford Mustang GTs in Grand-Am KONI Sports Car Challenge Grand Sport (GS) competition at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course. That weekend, the Oakville, Ontario driver earned his first career win with Dean Martin, and his second straight podium for Rehagen. In all, he grabbed three podiums in four starts for the Michigan-based team before moving on to other opportunities. In terms of opportunities for this weekend’s seventh round, Wilden has several. Not only will he shoot for his second straight Mid-Ohio victory - the GS class did not compete at the 2.258-mile, 13-turn track in 2008 - in the No. 59 Rehagen Racing Ford Mustang GT, but he is hoping to give the car its 13th straight top-10 finish. In doing so, he could extend his 18-point lead (169-151) over James Gue and Bret Seafuse. The GS race will commence at 1:45 p.m. Saturday, while the Street Tuner (ST) event is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. Sunday. “Mid-Ohio is a good track,” said Wilden, who earned his second career win last month at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. “I think we’re going to have our work cut out for us this weekend though. I think the Mustangs will do all right, and we’re just hoping for a top-five finish and to stay out of trouble to stay atop the championship. We’re in the mode of just doing the best we can and putting the pressure on our competitors to push harder than they would want.” While Wilden is holding off Seafuse and Gue - driving the No. 37 Trumansburg ShurSave Ford Mustang GT and still seeking their first win together - for the lead, Martin is tied with Duncan Ende for fifth. Both drivers have 139 points and each owns a victory this season; Ende co-drives with Spencer Pumpelly in TRG’s No. 39 DigiTrust Group/Adam’s Polishes Porsche 997. Third is Chris Gleason, co-driver of the No. 97 Turner Motorsport BMW M3 with Joey Hand, with 146 points, while Matt Bell is fourth, seeking his fifth pole position in the No. 96 Turner Motorsport BMW M3 he co-drives with Bill Auberlen, with 141 points. Also still in championship contention are Jack Roush Jr. (No. 61 Valvoline/Roush Ford Mustang GT, 138 points); Todd Lamb and Glenn Bocchino (No. 32 Cybernation/Cobalt Friction BMW M3, 137 points); Andy Lally and John Potter (No. 41 Magnus Racing Porsche 997, Winners at Watkins Glen, 136 points); and Hugh Plumb (131 points). Ohio natives seeking strong performances this weekend at Mid-Ohio are Centerville-born Bryan Sellers (No. 8 Maxwell Paper Products Co. Porsche 997), Columbus’ Ray Mason (No. 52 Columbus Truck & Equipment Ford Mustang GT) and Medina’s Mark Hillestad (No. 99 H&S Tools/Imported Car Store BMW M3). |

Shelby Honored on 50th Anniversary of LeMans Win  Shelby Automobiles Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Carroll Shelby International Inc., (CSBI.PK) will celebrate the birth of a racing legend’s dynasty when it marks the 50th anniversary of Carroll Shelby’s victory at Le Mans during the 35th annual Mid America Ford and Team Shelby Nationals in Tulsa, Okla. from June 24-27, at the Southern Hills Marriott. Carroll Shelby is the only man to ever win the 24 hours of Le Mans as a driver, team owner and manufacturer. On June 21, 1959, Shelby captured the overall win at Le Mans while co-driving an Aston Martin. Fame propelled the Texan into the ranks of being the premier manufacturer of American muscle cars and his company is still the leader today. “Fifty years ago this weekend, Carroll Shelby officially became an icon,” said Amy Boylan, president of Shelby Automobiles. “Over a few years, he conquered the most famous, most grueling sports car race in the world an incredible three times, and in every possible role. With the expense and complexity of racing today, it’s a mark that will stand for perpetuity.” For over 90 years, the greatest racers and manufacturers gather at Le Mans to see who can drive the farthest distance over 24 hours. It’s a test of man and machine that often leaves cars and teams in ruin. For a sports car driver, winning Le Mans is the pinnacle of a career. Most Le Mans fans overlooked the tall, handsome Texan in 1959. After all, Shelby had limited success there previously and the American did not fit the image of the aristocratic European that had ruled the 24 hour race. “After Aston Martin team manager John Wyer paired Shelby with Roy Salvadori in the DBR1/300, racing was never the same,” noted Boylan. “They beat competitors, mechanical issues and scorching temperatures to capture the overall victory.” Shelby parlayed his win into his first endeavor as an auto manufacturer. In 1962, he founded Shelby American with talented individuals from the aerospace community and support from Ford Motor Company. “Their first project was the legendary Cobra roadster with a new Ford small block,” said Jim Owens, Shelby Automobiles vice president of marketing communications. “A piece of that sports car’s ‘DNA’ became part of every subsequent Shelby vehicle. And Shelby Automobiles is still building genuine Cobras today.” Again the underdog, Shelby took a team to Europe to race Ferrari, Porsche and Jaguar on their own turf. On June 21, 1964, Dan Gurney and Bob Bondurant piloted Cobra roadster CSX2061 for manufacturer Carroll Shelby to fourth overall and first in the GT class at Le Mans. But Shelby was far from done in France. “When Henry Ford II’s bid to buy Ferrari fell apart in 1963, the ‘Deuce’ decided to wrest the crown jewel of sports car racing away from the Maranello automaker,” commented Boylan. “That’s when Ford asked Shelby to help them capture the overall victory at Le Mans.” Under Shelby’s direction, the Ford GT40 became a juggernaut. On June 19, 1966, Shelby and his team completed his “hat trick” when the Shelby racing team’s GT-40s captured Le Mans for Ford Motor Company. Officially, the Bruce McLaren/Chris Amon car came in first and the Ken Miles/Denis Hulme car was second. “Not only did victories at Le Mans help accelerate Carroll’s career, they helped forge a bond between his companies and Ford that is still strong today,” stated Boylan. “We’re proud of his legendary status and the opportunity those wins gave everyone who loves high performance cars.” The Mid America Ford and Team Shelby Nationals is a multi-venue event with five days of fast paced fun for thousands of enthusiasts from across the United States. It includes open track at Hallett Motor Racing Circuit, driving school, drag racing at Tulsa Raceway Park, a cruise night and car show. Carroll Shelby will be honored during a banquet dinner on Saturday, June 27. |

Ken Wilden Wins at Mid-Ohio  Ken Wilden took another step towards the 2009 Grand-Am KONI Sports Car Challenge Grand Sport championship Saturday, scoring a dominating victory at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course with Dean Martin in the No. 59 RehagenRacingProducts.com Ford Mustang GT. Martin led the opening 41 circuits, pressured the entire time by pole winner Matt Bell and Bret Seafuse. The lead recycled back to Wilden on Lap 46, five laps after his pit stop, and he maintained a comfortable advantage the rest of the way. “I wouldn’t say I was on cruise control, but I was really taking care of the car,” Martin said. “I was trying to stay consistent. We had a flawless race. We got out front and stayed out front. We also had a fantastic pit stop.” Wilden made a final pit stop with 18 minutes remaining, but managed to retain the lead. His margin of victory, 34.439 seconds, was the largest of the season. “Dean drove a great race,” Wilden said. “He’s a great starter. He forces the other teams to put their foot down. We were hoping we would be able to push the Porsches and BMWs to have some problems - and they did.” Wilden and Martin averaged 85.589 mph in the caution-free two-and-a-half hour race. It marked their second consecutive Grand Sport victory at Mid-Ohio, winning the last appearance by the division in 2007. James Gue finished second in JBS Motorsport’s No. 37 Trumansburg ShurSave Ford Mustang GT started by Seafuse. Spencer Pumpelly and Duncan Ende finished third in TRG’s No. 39 The DigiTrust Group/Adam’s Polishes Porsche 997, which battled back after pitting on the opening lap with a cut tire and falling back to 16th. Joey Hand pitted for a splash of fuel in the No. 97 Turner Motorsport BMW M3 started by Chris Gleason with only two minutes remaining while running third. They held on to take fourth, the last car on the lead lap. The victory opened Wilden’s lead in the championship to 21 points over Seafuse and Gue (204-183). Martin, who missed a race earlier in the season, moved up to third in the standings with 174 points, five better than Ende. Bill Auberlen was running second in the No. 96 Turner Motorsport BMW M3 started by Bell before a pit stop due to losing his brakes with 30 minutes remaining. They went on to finish fifth. Bell won his fifth pole of the season - and fifth in seven races this season - earlier Saturday with a track record lap of 1:33.896 (86.572 mph), and led two laps following Martin’s pit stop. Martin led the opening 41 circuits - pressured heavily by Bell throughout the opening hour. Seafuse made it a three-car battle much of the opening hour before being bumped off course by a lapped car on Lap 30 as the leaders raced through traffic. “Second place was a little unfortunate, but it was good to come back from that incident,” Seafuse said. “But if those guys (Wilden and Martin) keep going like this, it’s going to be tough to catch them.” Glenn Bocchino led two laps before pitting in the No. 32 Cybernation/Cobalt Friction BMW M3. Co-driver Todd Lamb pitted five laps later after leaking fluids. While a brief fire was quickly extinguished, the car was retired. Several other contenders experienced problems. Jack Roush Jr. ran fifth throughout the opening hour before turning the No. 61 Valvoline/Roush Ford Mustang GT over to Billy Johnson, who lost four laps with a broken tie rod. Andy Lally was running sixth before dropping a cylinder in the No. 41 Magnus Racing Porsche 997 and pitting late in the race in the car started by John Potter. Saturday’s race was the seventh of the 2009 KONI Challenge season. Only four races remain, with the next stop July 18 at Barber Motorsports Park. |
