toedrag Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Hi Folks, Now that I finally placed my order for my Stalker (or is it Storker now?), I figure it's time to say "Hello!" As the title states, I'm in Dallas, TX - a native Texan, actually, but I'd say I'm in the minority of most Texans/Dallasites. I've never owned a pickup; I love ice hockey and loathe football. My username, Toedrag, is the name of a rather sinister maneuver with a hockey puck. I'm married w/2 boys under 5 yrs, and both wifey & I are in our mid 30's. How did I end up here? Well, my Elise from a couple years ago was too practical, and then after trying a combined DD + HPDE sedan, I'm going back to the 2-car system. Versus other track car options, going with a se7en variant was an easy choice for me. It was a little hard to choose which se7en flavor to go with, but in the end, I love what Dennis Brunton started with and love how the Mineharts have advanced the platform further. That, and, when selling wifey on the idea of a se7en, she remarked that she'd miss the sound of my prior car's LS3; to which I replied, "Oh, that's no problem, we can put the same LS3 in a se7en."...her eyes got real big. :cheers: My order is for a Stalker XL Level 3 kit, T-bar cage, trailer hitch receiver, classic body without a hood scoop, hardtop, and I'll be dropping in a new LS3 w/T-56 Magnum close ratio w/the 3.73 LSD. I'm all giddy just writing that down:willy_nilly: Oh, and don't worry, there will be plenty of pics, videos, etc about my build. Man, it'll take a while for late May to get here. My intended use of the Stalker is street & road course with Motorsports Ranch in Cresson as my home track (xcarguy, I'll hopefully be out there with you next spring. I almost PM'd you to meet up last Sat at MSR, but I had a too much other stuff going on.) I've already been researching your forum here for quite some time; my list of notes is several pages long already. I tend to be detail oriented about this stuff. Looking forward to getting to know everyone, and thx for having such a good forum already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xcarguy Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 toedrag, WELCOME to the group!!!! :cheers: In the world of Storkers, we're practically neighbors. Too bad you could not have made it out Saturday, we had a blast. It'll be great to see another Stalker at Cresson later on. I definitely look forward to following your build. How far are you from DFW? I'll be back in the area in August for recurrent training at Flight Safety Int. Maybe we could get together if the planets align. If you haven't already, be sure and join the Yahoo Stalker Group and start a build file as well in the Stalker V6 Gallery. Toedrag . . . sounds more like a menacing motorsport term. :devil: :seeya: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thx for the pointer to the Yahoo group, and I think I tried Registering on the Gallery but never received the confirmation that an Admin had activated the account. I'll document the build both here and there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestTexasS2K Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 (edited) I prefer the look of the Classic Stalker also. The new chassis design looks great with plenty of adjustment to tweek it to your liking. Good luck with the build hope to see you at MSR in the future.

MB7 Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Sounds like a great configuration. I ordered the exact car except with the M-Spec body, still being built at the Stalker cave in Florida. Look forward to following your build. I also have a Super Stalker, loved it so much decided to upgrade to an LS3 car. It's great to see the Minehart's growing the business with new orders!
