To the best of my knowledge there were 16 Full Effect SuperCab Lightning conversions done. I consider the yellow cab to be number 0. My wife doesn't like that so she calls it the prototype. Number 1 is in Louisiana, number 13 in the Bay area of CA, number 15 in Washington. The prototype is also in Washington. Bill Thomas was the owner of Full Effect, the yellow cab was his personal truck, and I'm told he kept horrible records. There is no real documentation from his company. I attempted to find him several years ago without success. The white one we have is not a Full Effect conversion though it is done in much the same way. So, I claim there were 17 total conversions known. 16 Full Effect and one done by the original owner. There are currently 4 Full Effect conversions known to exist and one non Full Effect conversion for a total of 5. There was also 2 CrewCab Lightning conversions done. There is one known to currently exist.

Not saying that is all that's out there now or that only 16 Full Effect conversions were done. It's the best information I have concerning the conversions.

Here's an option list for Full Effect conversions and this is thanks to Roy

I never knew the history of the SuperCab trucks, thanks for sharing Scott.
 
We have always enjoyed the Pirates and Medieval Times dinner shows when in SoCal.

A co-worker of mine told me about Teatro Martini http://teatromartini.com/ and said it was a great time. It too is a dinner show and get this, it's located in the same parking lot of the Pirates show. The yelp ratings are very good https://www.yelp.com/biz/teatro-martini-buena-park and perhaps this is an option. What do you guys think, want to try something new this year?
 
Good find George. I would have to run in pro. With a stick shift turbo car bracket racing would be......Interesting. I will look into this.

I have run my truck there before and my times were about a half a second slower than Sacramento which I figured was due to the differences in elevations (Sac=30 ft. vs. Fontana=1,144 ft.)

That was GOOD times for Jean and I ! Was great to meet the many BALA members that attended and GREAT to see a bunch of Lightnings and an HD too all together. As I remember we weren't supposed to be on the grass but we did anyway !!

Not sure. I talked with him last week but he wasn't sure he would be able to make it down.
