We must update the membership app/renewal form Their policy is to inspect the undercarriage for any potential problems. I Bill needs more window clings; Neil or Bob Paul to order 150 went to Mimi’s across the street for breakfast. When I returned to pick up We should make the offer to the club if you need a new window my car I was informed that the vehicle had some excessive end play in the cling, give it to them lower right ball joint. What a surprise, Michigan roads. Phil and Bill suggest a line on app about joining MCA with their web My car is 2008 Mustang with 7100 miles on the speedo. I thanked the guys for the information and drove home. I called the dealer and made an site and also contact info for Mike Sove appointment, took the car in and sure enough the right lower ball joint end Mike Sove makes a motion that the club pays for MCA membership for Board members if they want to join; the motion passed; play was beyond specs. They checked the left side and a problem was found there also. So since the ball joints are not replaceable they had to remember, the club gets $10 for every brand-new MCA member install new lower control arms for the left and right sides. I would like to thank the guys at Oval Repair for finding this problem and MCA REP: The new president of MCA, Steve, wants to get more involved with bringing it to my attention. They didn’t have to say anything because the car is a 08 and under warranty. This type of attention is what makes customer’s the regional clubs and wants more car pictures and articles from confident in the repair shop. So the next time your at Oval Repair and they the clubs for their magazine advise you of a problem, their not just trying to make work for themselves, their looking after their customer’s safety, well being and their ride.

  • Gt500 Reborn As a Modern Thoroughbred
    GT500 REBORN AS A MODERN THOROUGHBRED: SHELBY, SVT CREATE MOST POWERFUL MUSTANG EVER "Mustang Dream Team" of Carroll Shelby and Ford SVT develop a worthy successor to the legendary Shelby GT500 of the late '60s Shelby Cobra GT500 has modern performance credentials: 450-plus-hp, supercharged V-8, 6-speed manual transmission, SVT-tuned suspension SVT functional features with Shelby design flare - LeMans racing stripes, aerodynamic enhancements and 19-inch wheels with cross-drilled brake rotors The driving zone - red leather seat and door trim, titanium-faced gauges SOUNDBITES: FORD SHELBY COBRA GT500 Click here to view the entire press kit. The most powerful factory-built Ford Mustang in history takes to the street next year, following a unique collaboration between performance car legend Carroll Shelby and the Ford Special Vehicle Team (SVT). Ford took the wraps off the 450-plus-horsepower Ford Shelby Cobra GT500 show car at the New York International Auto Show March 23. Designed in the unmistakable image of Shelby Mustangs of the 1960s, the Shelby Cobra GT500 melds SVT's modern engineering with the big-block performance that made the original GT500 the king of the road. "The all-new 2005 Ford Mustang is one of the hottest cars in many years," says Phil Martens, Ford group vice president, Product Creation. "Its chassis was engineered from the beginning to be the basis of a high-performance, world-class sports car from SVT, and the Shelby Cobra GT500 is it." Carroll Shelby lends his support to SVT, adapting his earlier role as a senior advisor on the "Dream Team" that was assembled to develop and build the 2005 Ford GT.

  • The Legend of Ford and Carroll Shelby, Changing the Course of Automotive History
    The Legend of Ford and Carroll Shelby, Changing the Course of Automotive History In the early 1960s, the advent of the American muscle car era would mean high-power V8 engines, quicker-shifting four-on-the-floor transmissions, bigger tires and improved suspensions for faster elapsed times as drag strips popped up across the country. This fierce competition for bragging rights on the weekends would lead to an increase in vehicle sales on showroom floors come Monday. With Henry Ford II determined his company could compete with the best and fastest in the world, a boisterous young man from Texas with a reputation for building winning race chassis powered by Ford engines came to the attention of executives in Dearborn. Soon a collaboration formed between Carroll Shelby and his Shelby America and Ford Motor Company – one that would change the course of automotive history. 1965 Shelby GT350 Shelby GT350, the first high-performance Mustang While Ford engineers worked in secret to develop the revolutionary Mustang pony car, Shelby was already hard at work building Ford-powered cars to take on the world at Le Mans. As the very first 1965 Mustangs came off the line, several were quietly shipped to Shelby America in California for engineering of the first high-performance Mustang – the Shelby GT350. Less than a year after Mustang began production, Ford and Shelby pounced with the first high- performance model, Shelby GT350. Powered by a Shelby-modified Ford 289 high-performance V8 churning out 306 horsepower, the 1965 Mustang Shelby GT350 competition models were built and homologated for SCCA competition, quickly winning the first race on February 14, 1965.

  • 18 ANNUAL REPORT Student Success & Innovation
    Renton Technical College Foundation 2017-18 ANNUAL REPORT Student Success & Innovation WWW.RTC.EDU PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Dear Friends, When people ask me what I love most about being president of Renton Technical College, the answer is easy: watching our students succeed. I’m continually in awe of our students, many of whom have overcome great obstacles to achieve their goals. There are so many success stories at RTC, like that of Carl Harris, who survived homelessness and hopelessness before he found his place here. He was one of only 20 students in the country named to the All-USA Academic Team. The Foundation scholarships he earned helped him stay in school and achieve his dreams. While Carl’s time at RTC is complete, others are just getting started, like Kathryn Forman, whose difficult childhood in Russia and transition to the United States inspires her to excel in her nursing studies. Scholarships also have eased her path to her goal, and new scholarships funded by Swedish Medical Center will help men and students of color from underserved communities pursue nursing careers. We are so grateful to the companies, organizations and individuals who help make scholarships possible. From longtime benefactors including Bernadene and Denny Dochnahl and Rich Wagner and his late wife, Andee Jorgensen, to the hard-working RTC staff members who give $5 a paycheck, every donation makes a difference to our students. Thank you for your support. Dr. Kevin McCarthy, President, Renton Technical College Once again, your generosity helped parents, or veterans transitioning into the Foundation exceed our goals and civilian careers.
