Well done. [:D]
We got our son his new Mustang GT 6 speed manual about three weeks ago. He does not have 500 miles on it yet.
Sounds like trouble brewing[;)]
Nice lookin car.
I do miss the drag strip(s) there use to be one about 5 miles from where I grew up spent a lot of weekends there .. it closed down and turned into a gravel pit many moons ago [V][V][V][:(][:(]
now the closet one is 50 miles or so from me [xx(]

a great way to spent the day
stay with it all it takes is $$ [:D][:D] and more than a few busted knuckles
I love that rush of coming off the line
when I was younger the was a 1/4 mile track just out side of town maybe a 8 to 10 mile trip for us
I loved to race and watch certified car nut
tons of old memories and lots of friends that are no longer with us
that we enjoyed time with .
Brings back memories - from when I was a younger man.
Mine was a 1966 Ford Mustang sprint coupe
Burgundy with a black vinyl interior and top
We (atco raceway) had different classes that competed in 1/4 miles and a simple 6 turn track
I played in the 6 cylinder class (no turbo charger or supercharger or nitrous oxide permitted)
The umpire and your competition were allowed to open the hood and view your engine bay
I "cheated" - had an ace in the hole
The power plant that caught people napping - fooled them
300 cubic inch straight 6
Bored 30 over
Blueprinted
Balanced
Split header with dual exhaust
Big 4 barrel carburetor
The exterior badging and stickers on the air cleaner indicated a 240 inline 6 (not a performance engine)
Lots of horsepower and torque
I miss that car sometimes
