I guess this thread is done!!

Re: Calling out all Mustangs
 

Don't know about the thread being done, but you sure didn't get many who want to question your comments or try to disprove what you have said. This is why this will be racing that will be talked about for a long time. Good luck guys and put on a good show.

Re: Calling out all Mustangs
 

Man you are correct. I was hoping to get a little more out of people! I know we will be there and run as fast as we can, I just hope other people do as well. If anyone want to test us they know where to find us. In either a Mustang, Camaro, or Dodge.

Relax, I was just stirring the pot. I would love to join in on the fun but there is too many reasons not to go. We do have to work sometimes. The schedule has way too many conflicting dates, I would have to give up many good races in my back yard to travel 1000's of miles. Plus they only qualify 8 cars? That's pretty stupid. I wouldn't travel all the way to Houston to maybe qualify the race. With a new gig like this I would think they would take anyone who shows up.

#1 - Houston is way too far for me

#2 - Bristol is the week after Mopar's at the Strip and the same week as our first NHRA points race and the same week as our 2-day $10K race at Maple Grove.

#3 - I would really like to go to the Reading race in my back yard but its the same weekend as our Atco Nat'l Open. So unless our SS/AH guys plan on skipping that race and my car owner plans on going ADRL, that one is no good either.

#4 - St. Louis is the same weekend as the Englishtown Nat'l which is 2 hours from my house and has S/S class.

#5 - No excuse for the Richmond race yet. There is 2 conflicting dates but nothing I have comitted to yet.

#6 - Martin, MI race is the same weekend as the "Hemi Shootout" at Beaver Springs.

#7 - Charlotte is the same weekend as our Atco points race and the 422 Allstars race at Maple Grove in my back yard.

#8 - Memphis is the week after Indy which is bad enough, plus its the same weekend as our Englishtown points race.

#9 - Norwalk has no conflicting dates, but its the week before the Reading Nat'l and the week after that is the Dutch Classic. Really busy time of year for us.

#10 - Dallas is too far

I understand they don't know until you try it but the weights look ridiculous to me. And please, correct me if I'm wrong because I'm just going by memory.

At Indy, the V10's weighed 3590 lbs in AA/SA and the 6.1's weighed 3200 lbs in AA/SA. I ran 9.67 in A/SA, according to my rough calculations I would have run high 9.40's in AA/SA which is pretty close to what the V10's were running.

I think at Indy is was close between the V10's and 6.1's. But now for ADRL the 6.1's have to add 50 lbs and the V10's get to remove 190 lbs. Who came up with this calculation? That's over 2 tenths.

Plus if I was a 5.7 guy I would be pretty turned off because they have it even worse. 512 (3400 lbs) vs. 345 (3250) = 150 lbs for an extra 167 cubes?

I guess we'll see how it works out. I really do hope it turns out well. I'm not trying to piss on it before it starts but it really needs some adjusting.

Just make sure you bring one of your witch doctors that can handle a snake bite! LOL:D

Re: Calling out all Mustangs
 

Im cool Barton, I just want this to take off so maybe it will spread to other organizations. Heads up racing is whst racing is all about!!

U are pretty correct about the weight but we ran 9.26 @ 3550lbs in BB/SA.

Hope to see all at some of them!! Good luck to yall this year!!

Re: Calling out all Mustangs
 

I agree with David on the weight issue, however if we don't go out and mix it up they won't be able to get it right. The last thing we want is to kill it before it starts. We plan to stick it out with the 6.1 and it looks like we are going to make all 10 races. David hope to see you at one of these events and lets see if we can't put a spankin' on that V10 and tame a few snakes.

That's what im talking about Buckner! Mopar's need to stick together and bust some snakes! Then we can worry about beating up on each other! Lol

GEAUX Joe GEAUX. I think there skeered.

Re: Calling out all Mustangs
 

That V10 laid down some impressive numbers the other day, you and the Southland guys have done a great job. You know the Buckners are Mopar all the way, but we ain't cuttin you no slack.
