Finally, a full pass

RobbieG. · 2012-08-19, 13:37

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.

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

Congrats, that combo's probably got a little more in it with some tuning.....

great job robbie I was hoping for 11.80's for the but am happy i got 12.30s. I still have some tuning to do on the chassis plus I am having some carb problems so i sure be able to get to the numbers i need for super pro

**don graham** · 2012-08-19, 23:13

WTG Robbie and Matt. Glad to see you both with cars on the track and running good.

RobbieG. · 2012-08-20, 07:44

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!

Great job.

RobbieG. · 2012-08-20, 10:26

I would think 11.50s during the winter.
