| |
| What was your reason for buying
the car(s)? |
| In 94 I started looking to buy a new car. I loved the new
94 Stang,but I wanted a 4.6 engine, as I had come to really
like that new engine.95 came and still no 4.6 for the Stang.The
T-Bird had the 4.6 and I loved the looks, and the price was
right. So I ordered one,it was built on May 1st, I still remember
the day it was delivered at my dealership. |

car competed in the first 4 Modular Shootouts. Was featured
in the 5.0/Superfords Nov. 01 article Combo Deal. Came in
a close 2nd place last year in MMFF's Luxobarge Shootout
at E-Town. Is as far as I know the first street legal MN12
Thunderbird with a 4.6 to run 10's. |

| Shout outs to people that helped
you achieve these goals? |
The Guys at Allen Engine Development, Jerry W from SCT,
and A-Train from NJ for help on the prototype plenum spacer.

last fall at the nats, 10.81@ 127.99
|
| |
| Do you have any regrets along the
way? |
| not really,just the warning that speed is addictive. I remember
saying,"I think it will go 13's....12's...11's...10's"
|
| |
| What was or is your favorite vehicle
to this day and why? |
| I still love old Musclecars, As I grew up with them. I had
a very fast 69 SS Chevelle, and still have a 70 454 Vette.
But the Bird is the fastest I've had to date. I do think the
new 07 GT500 Cobra may be in my future though. |
| |
| What was your main reason was for
becoming a part of the internets first and best mustang club? |
Back in the fall of 99 I took the Bird to a Ford drag
race in Rockingham. It was the first time out with the new
blower. I met a bunch of crazy racers down there, Jimmy
V., Wimpdog, Bottlefed (John M), Purplehaze, just to name
a few. They accepted me as a fellow Modular racer. It was
the start of wild fun ride that is still going. Jimmy V
invited me to join the new Mustang club even though I didn't
drive a Stang. I have always felt welcome and concider myself
a Superstallion. |
| |
| What other things do you enjoy
besides cars? |
| Cars have always been a big part of my life. But I also
enjoy target shooting, and tinkering with my old antique farm
tractor. |
| |
| What upcoming events in 2005 do
you plan on racing in if any? |
| I plan on the spring Nats, and maybe a couple FFW races
this year. Also thinking about the Smackdown at Norwalk this
fall. |
| Do you Mustang drivers get pissed
when they get beat by a Thunderbird? |
I don't kown if they really get pissed getting beat by a
Thunderbird. I do think it has shocked and surprised a few.I've
had many come find me in the pits,to see what the hell is
under the hood. The F-Body guys are the most fun to beat I'd
have to say.
