This is a Turbo Car, with Ford 9 inch, Mustang II front suspension, and runs really well. Also runs at BG.
This car won the Modified class of Turbo Cars. Super nice and rare color. Some of you have seen it at BG. It changed hands.

I showed next to the Winner, but it did not make me second place. Waaa!!
Engine compartment of second place modified Turbo. Lot of nice stuff. Ky man.
Trick dual fours with great detail.
This is extra nice modified truck.
Like blue droptops? Love this Wildcat---
This red was good enough for First Place. I will have a red GS someday, maybe even a droptop, or a convertable, or even a drophead coupe..
Trees of this size will stop your car. See black marks and car in last pictures. This was ugly. Driver was not wearing safety gear and suffered broken arm and cuts, lucky, could have been much worse. Quaker City Raceway, Salem, Ohio.
More on "return roads" T&T.
More staging.
Staging for eliminations, BPG Nationals, Quaker City.
This dude claimed to have attached his work bench, picnic table, ironing board and laundry to his car. He said it would also put downforce on the tail without anyone standing on it. I don't see how that could be. Maybe I just missunderstood. I forgot to ask what the little bitty wheels were for, pushing it into a corner, I guess.
Why you should NOT test and tune on return roads. Quaker City Raceway.
I made an attempt at Bracket Racing at the BPG Nationals, in Salem, Ohio. It was fun, but no cigar. The field was made up of mainly GS cars and was broken into classes like Super 8, Super 16, Super Pro, Pro, and some Heads Up. I ran Super Pro, a 11.49 and better, class. I ran qualifiers of 11.193/120.33, 11.511/120.33 and 11.135/120.65. The weather was changing fast, with temp and humidity, and after the last qualifier, I took out some more fuel, to try and lean it out some more, but it only kept up with the weather and I dialed in a 11.10 and ran a fat 11.309/120.33 to loose in the elimination. The car was very consistant as seen by the 120.33, three out of four runs. The driver was not, he left soft, but did not red light. Many, many rounds were lost to the red eye. This was a fun event and would probably have been more fun to take a Skylark or GS car. Dick W
