| What modifications? | Major mods: stock shortblock bored .030 over, Edelbrock 6037 heads, Cobra intake, AFM B3 blower cam, Vortech S-Trim, Level 10 AOD, blah, blah, blah... |
| What mods do you plan in the future? | Aeromotive fuel system, 2.95 blower pulley |
| What was the original goal for the car? | I never intended to race the car, I just wanted a convertible. But, living 20 minutes from Maple Grove Raceway, the temptation to race it became too strong. First time at the track it went 15.41 @ a whopping 88 mph. can you say "embarrassed"??? |
| What is the present goal for car? | Keep it in one piece, have fun, and run the occasional 10 second timeslip... |
| Why did you buy the car? | I had finally gotten enough points off of my driving record to afford the insurance on a musclecar... |
| What other cars have you considered buying? | The usual suspects: Z28, Trans-Am, Grand National... |
| Car/Driver Achievements? | I don't know of many 10 second AOD convertibles, so I guess that's an accomplishment of some sort... |
| Best Time? | 10.85 @ 126.13 with a 1.58 60' time... |
| Do you have any regrets along the way? | I regret starting out with the heaviest and slowest of all the Mustangs: a fully loaded, GT convertible with an AOD. I probably would have used a lighter LX coupe as a starting point. I also wish I hadn't started out with a complete car, since a lot of parts were replaced that weren't even broken. Looking back I would have started out with a theft recovery, maybe something that was lightly stripped, and go from there... |
| What was or is your favorite vehicle to this day and why? | My Mustang for sure, it's just a goofy car. I'm still just as excited about driving it today as I was when I drove it off the dealer's lot back in '94. It's a silly car. Silly baby... |
| What does Jeff Burbank do for enjoyment besides racing? | I like to play with my cats, tattoo my body, eat, sleep, act like a goof, talk, talk LOUD, exchange verbal insults with whomever is winding me up at the time, complain... |
| What was your main reason was for becoming a part of the internets first > and best mustang club? | Adam Dugger got me started. Where Adam goes, I follow. He is the man. Everyone should have a friend like Adam. |
| Shout-Outs? | My girlfriend Christine, Adam Dugger, Jim McInnis, Jay Schwarzmann, Spence Hart, and Chris Giles... |
| Who is your biggest rival on the track, and why? | I'm probably my only rival... |
| What upcoming events in 2002 do you plan on racing in if any? | I'll hit the SSOTN Nats in April, the NMRA Nats at Maple Grove Raceway in June, possibly the NMRA @ Atco in August, and the SSOTN Nats in November... |
