Hi ILLNESS guys, hope you dont mind a MiLOC guy over here! LOL! Anyway, I received the following e-mail from "Ford". I would like to get a strong showing of trucks. PLease contact me if you are interested in attending!! Lightningsvt@mediaone.net. Looks like they need the info within 1 week. Location so far is the Ford Dearborn Proving Grounds and they assure me that no VIN will be recorded (so dont worry about your warranties).
Theya re also looking for Cobra and SVT Contour owners, so if you know anyone please pass the info.
---------------------------------------------
I am a program manager for FCSD/TSO. We are currently developing multiple SVT training courses for dealership technicians. I have been contacting the different SVT owners groups seeking participation in this effort. Part of the course we are developing is going to cover modifications done to SVT vehicles. The intention is to video tape modifications of existing Lightning's and Cobra's and present them as part of the classroom style course for technicians. We are seeking Lightning and Cobra owners who would allow us to video tape the modifications they have done to their vehicles.
For know the intent is to gather the participants at a track or maybe the proving grounds. A video crew will be on hand to take footage of the modifications. We hope to have enough involvement that we can make a full blown SVT event out this. We are working with the SVT group and a sponsored event may be possible. The modifications we are looking for need to visible to the camera. They can be powertrain, suspension, or cosmetic. The idea is to present as much as possible. We need to try and focus our attention on the area that will produce the most modifications. We have communications out to many different groups and chapters. If this is something you feel your group may be interested in please let me know and I can contact you with more information.
