Keep your Eyes wide open for fellow racer

This NSCA racer lost his car to punks while in Milan two weeks ago. Heres a copy of his post on NSCA's message board with a detailed list of parts and Items that could pop up for sale around our area.

Foulk Brothers Racing would like to thank everybody who offered their condolences and generous offers of support in our time of need. It appears that our car and all tools, parts, and equipment will not be returned. And so, we have made a list of some of the engine and car parts that may be recognized, if the yellow '69 Torino isn't enough of a clue. We know that we weren't ripped off by fellow racers, but hopefully one of you might recognize some of this stuff and may help us get it back.

Thanks,
Skip & Mike Foulk

That just flat-out sucks. There are some low f*cking people in this world. I hope it all works out for them in some way.

I have no idea how they could jack a bright yellow car and get away with it. There has to be someone around that saw that thing. Post an add in all the local news papers or something. Someone had to see it at some point. Even if you didn't notice cars, it'd be almost impossible NOT to notice the color. Dirty f*cking bastards.

This car was a rare deal, not just because of the color. This was one of those 1969 Torino that ford had to make at least 50 of to get the body allowed into nascar. This car was a surivor of sorts since it was still on a race track, even if it was in a stright line.
It would be quite a standout with the long sweeping rear deck that this car has if the dum a$$ try's to bring it out.

I agree, seems like someone, even if their not a car fan or even paying attention would have noticed something like that.

have to watch out for that, especially around here.....caught a few people copying down vin's at telegraph last time i was out. people case out alot of area shops too. i have heard of quite a few trailers being broken into over the last year and half.

one buddy had his custom f-body stolen out of one storage trailer...lucky for him he burnt the clutch up so they didn't get to far.

there should be a larger fine for people caught doing this sort of $#!T

The car was in a trailer at the Holiday Inn in Dundee. They got the truck, trailer, car and tools. If I had that much money tied up I would have an alarm, disable the truck, block it in with another vehicle and have the trailer wheels chained together. They also sell boots to lock to your trailer wheel like the cops put on your car if you have too many parking tickets.
