Tom,
I believe Marty Buth's car is a turbo 4 cylinder not a 5.0

I am glad to see Steve get this recognition! He is a very dedicated racer that has innovated and worked hard on his combination! Great picture of Steve and his wife Peg in this article. Not only is his car fast, but he is a very good racer!

Good to see 5.0 Mustang get some recognition for there hard work on a car that is not a soft combo, to make one of these go 1 under is not an over night deal and to keep it going 1 under without going backwards is tough. Steve Congrats on the recognition keep it up.

Steve personifies the true drag racer, most everything he rolls out was built by him late nights in his home garage. I met him when we were both students at the University of Cincinnati in the late 70's. We both drove to school and bracket raced 6-cylinder cars. I got a taste of his inner drive when he challenged me to see who could get their car to run 17's with a stock engine. His Fairlane was soon in the mid-17's while my much-lighter Chevy II was a second slower. I responded by putting a 283 in my car and running 15's. Steve then built his own back-half chassis car, while I purchased a turn-key race car. Two different philosophies, Steve in the garage at night while I was playing sports and drinking beer.
