[QUOTE]Sorry guys… the problem with the live in-car webcast was that we couldn't get a decent internet connection. When it figured out what was wrong, it was too late to move our system closer to the wi-fi access point in the club house. I tried to use a tethered cell-phone internet connection as well, but the AT&T service at the track wouldn't support a fast enough connection.

Live & Learn!

The bad news is the we cooked our engine after a little over 2 hours, and we didn't bring a spare. We closed up shop & headed for home.

It was a gas while it lasted… We'll do better on the in-car webcast next time, and we will post in-car videos on the web site.

Heres a blog from Team Johansson. The wheat farmer who built the engine is a Fiero guy and a friend of mine:

They were up all night installing a junker engine only to find the driveline didnt "do so well" when the engine froze. They are still trying to get the car fixed. Gotta love the spirit !!!

The midsize LTD was discontinued in 1986 and the "LTD Crown Victoria" name continued on until 1991. In 1992 the LTD name was dropped and it was just "Crown Victoria."

5.0 liters of powerful V8 workhorse engine, a steel body, a steel frame, and cop car suspension.
How can you beat that?
Are ya feeling lucky, punk?
Well are ya?
All the yuppie German sedans with numbers for names [you know who you are] had better beware the mighty Ford Panther.

It's hard not to love this Vegas car.

Why can't there be a webcast of this important event?? I'd chip in to support it.

]]> <![CDATA[North Las Vegas Barbie Ready For LeMons Action]]> Wait a minute... Isn't this actually an LTD, rather than a Crown Vic? Wasn't the Crown Victoria appellation reserved for a different trim level, much like Brougham was for Cadillac and Pontiac?
