    There is a nice article in Muscle Mustangs and Fast Fords Magazine about the return of Jack Roush "Drag Racer". In that article they state that he once raced a 4 door Maverick but, it dosen't say anything else about the car. I did not know anything about this. Does anyone have a picture of this car or anything else about it? The rest of the article goes on to say alot about his business and his racing experiences. There are some nice pctures of '05 & '06 Roush Mustangs. I do own a '05 Mustang GT convertable but there is something about a Roush Mustang, so nice! Roush's business is here in Livonia MI, about 7 miles from my house here in Westland MI. Last time I drove by there, there were about 200 Mustang GTs parked out front! What a site. This is some good reading.

    I remember seeing that car race. What ever happened to Wayne Gapp? Too bad Roush did not campain a Maverick when he road racing.... I know the Mav was not legal to compete in SCCA then.

    In 2004 he was inducted into the Drag Racing Hall of Fame. He was there for that. Thats the last I remember hearing about him although I dont really keep up with sports.
