SrA Ted Stradling Deploying
Everybody this is Ted Stradling, I see him at the track every time I go out to see if I know
what I’m doing. Ted is a SrA out of Hurlburt Field working for CE’s Red Horse as a
structural engineer. Ted has a 04 GT that is modified and he tears up the track when the
light goes green. Ted left August 31st for his deployment to Afghanistan for a while so
lets get together and build a goodie box to send him over there.
Ted Had told me when he gets back he has major plans for his 04. Like a supercharger
and possible an engine upgrade. I asked Ted about upgrading the brakes to handle the
extra power he kind looked at me sideways with an evil grin and said when the brakes
give out then I’ll upgrade!
Well Good luck Ted and don’t forget to email us to tell us all know how you’re doing!!
Ciao

Car of the Month
Meet Keith Boudreau and his 2005 Windveil Blue GT. Keith is an Avionics Tech at Hurlburt Field; he is currently deployed but should be back home by the end of the month. We’ll be glad to have ya back Keith, and see you at the cruise in’s and the track! Keith has customized his GT with a custom exhaust, CDC Shaker hood system, stereo upgrades, custom paint details like a blacked out hood to mimic the 69 Mach 1. Just some minor engine treatments like a 62mm BBK Throttle body, but when Keith gets back he’s looking a 3V 5.0 crate engine with dual 57mm Stage 3 Turbo’s!! His goal is to put 600HP to the ground!! Good luck with that then maybe we can give Ed and Ray a run to see if “experience” can trump Youth!! Ciao!!

OK you all know that I love Miss Terry at
Quality Car Mats. Well I have another
small company I’d like to introduce to you.
Å LS Embroidery Lori here can custom
embroider your headrests and let me say
cheap. You all know that I will try to get
oxygen for free and Lori did my head rest’s
for my GT/CS and they look great. Bad
news is she and her husband is being
stationed to Minot ND for 2 years. Lori
will still do the work but you’ll have to do
it through the mail till she returns in 2
years time. I’ll stay in touch with her and
make sure we have her new address. Trust
me it will be worth the wait!
Thanks Lori!!
Ciao

Pet of the Month
JUST ANNOUNCED FORD’S NEW
Twin Boxer Drooling Option
Meet Molly Ann & Buddy Barker, they are Boxers and their pet is Fred. Molly Ann &
Buddy have to have a drive around the block so they make Fred drive them if they beat him
to the car. Molly Ann and Buddy Barker love to go for a ride with the top down. Molly
barks at motorbikes and Buddy barks at everything. Their favorite place to visit is Sonic
because they each get a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Molly and Buddy get all the looks
riding in the back seat when the top is down. Fred tells me he gets a little jealous from all
the attention Molly Ann & Buddy get!! The Red GT Convertible is a 2005, but what’s best
is Molly Ann & Buddy have made Fred buy 7 convertibles over the years!! Fred has told
me his father bought him a 1986 GT Convertible for his 16th birthday and that’s all he has
ever driven or bought since then! Must be nice to be chauffeured around in a red
convertible all the time.
Ciao!
