S.H.O. = SUPER HIGH OUTPUT CLUB For Owners/Enthusiasts of the 1989 to 1999 Yamaha-Powered Ford Taurus SHO Performance Sedan AND NOW THE NEW 2010 ECOBOOST SHO!! NOW ON FACEBOOK
I think this is good news: NASCAR is getting rid of the sports car style wing it has had on the "car of tomorrow" and replacing it with a spoiler like in the past.
Also they are going to loosen the reigns a bit on the drivers and let them take revenge without such big penalties. Realizing that some feuds bring fans to the TV and the track. Whether they get to the point of brawls like that between Cale Yarborough and the Allison's remains to be seen and NASCAR will clamp down hard if it gets out of control, but we might see Tony Stewart, Denny Hamlin and Ryan Newman for just 3 examples getting even more often?
Anyway, it is nice to hear some news about racing again after a couple of quiet months.
The engines start next month down in Daytona. I would like to go and watch the sports cars for once (never been) in the 24 hours, although I am afraid I would sleep through all the good parts being an old fart now!

Merry Christmas
From Don and Jan, Ken and Jodie, Doni and all the rest of the Mallinson's, hearty wishes for a Merry Christmas and a Happy and healthy New Year.
The last year saw us complete our "Whiplash" Conventions on the two coasts.
The SHO was reborn, a little different, but still nice to have the name survive.
Ford came out of this year as the only independent American car maker, and I hope some of you got some of the stock when it was well below $4. They also won all sorts of awards, most of them going to the excellent Fusion and Fusion Hybrid, but also, some going to the new Taurus and SHO.
Convention 19 is on the way for 2010 and our association with Ford is going again. Look for the registration form on shoclub.com very soon.
The friends that we have made within the SHO community continue to be a major part of our lives and we thank all of you for making life so much more enjoyable.
Happy Holidays everyone! Don and Jan/Ken and Jodie/Doni etc.

EcoBoost Supercar?
A company called Kepler Motors has pulled the covers off a new kind of supercar, one they hope will push them forward.
"Power comes from a 550 hp, modified Ford EcoBoost twin-turbo 3.5 liter V6 driving the rear wheels acting independently of a 250 hp electric motor driving the front wheels. This unique AWD system launches the MOTION to 60 mph under 2.5 seconds with a top speed over 200 mph." http://www.tgdaily.com/trendwatch-features/45076-kepler-unveils-motion-supercar

Passing of a loyal SHO person
It is with much sadness and regret that we were informed of the passing of Christina Casselton out in the Seattle Area. "Chris" was found deceased in her apartment on Saturday December 5th. Please think of her and her family in your thoughts and prayers. She will be missed by everyone in the SHO community.
2009-12-12 UPDATE: From her son James Casselton: "First, Thank you all again for the kindness and support you gave my Mom. It really meant everything to her to be able to have so many good friends who shared her passion. Her wishes we to not have a funeral or a memorial, but we are going to have just a small family memorial at our church her in Vacaville, CA. I really appreciate the offer of flowers or donations, but I really feel that what would make the most difference, and be in her spirit of giving, is to give or donate your time at your church, local community homeless shelter, or senior center. When you show people that you give of your self, not money, to me shows a deeper commitment."
