    Took the Mustang to the track and finally got to make a full pass. After Tranny seals, blown rear ends and bad front end alinments she ran 11.71 at 114 mph. Not bad for a motor that was built to run 12.00...LOL. Guess I'll be running Pro not Sportsman next year. Im happy with it. :dance:

    Sounds like a nice motor. Bet you get a little quicker with it.

    Hey, that's true. I can now run Super Pro. That might be fun.

    Wow...that's awesome Robbie! First full pass in this awful Arizona heat...I bet it will run a whole lot faster with some tuning and cooler winter air! :dance: Great job.

    Good to hear Robbie, but the Maverick will never get touched now tha the Mustang is back at the track.

    Matt did you get another Maverick? What are you racing now?
