George,
When do you and Jimmy expect to have the New Mustang out for it's maiden voyage?

George Wright · 03-29-2009, 11:08 AM

We plan to test in about two weeks. If all goes good we will go to the NHRA national in Atlanta.

George,
Good Luck to you guys. What a great looking car.
I hope to see the Mustang in person somewhere this year.

Was in the MPR shop last Monday and the two challengers in there are very cool (One Black and one white. Spoke briefly to the guy who was welding up BIG's cage, but it was pretty much still a shell. A lot of work and details to finish these cars. From seeing Mike's cars around, they definitely have the right guy/team working on these cars. While there I had a chat with one engine builders of the Cobra Jet engines, that are currently being raced.

funny thing was john donato told me he was building garlits car (chassis included) when he talked to me at vegas. When I said I thought it was at mikes, the story changed a little.
I am sure mike will do a good job on these as I am certain that he is the one that figured out how to get the devo cars finished.

George, as a huge Ford fan, the best of luck with the new car. However, Stock is not being contested at Atlanta. Are you planning to run in Super Stock? I hope that you do because I will be there and I would love to see you compete.

We will compete in SS/E, if our testing goes good.
