F.A.S.T car goes 9.84!

As far as weight goes... As light as you can make it and have it still look right. Take all the weight out of the front and put it in the back and then add another 200 lbs. There is acid dipping going on and alot of alum parts being fabbed. Again if it looks as if it was delivered it is legal.

I have been racing FAST since 2003 and it has evolved quite a bit since then. I personally like the look of a restored musclecar but like a bit more peformance. I've run a 70 T/A Challenger and a Six Pack 71 Super Bee. Both cars have been 11.50s at about 123. Neither car have a roll bar so I stick to about the 11.5s. Been working on putting a Hemi together so a jungle gym is in my future. Not everyone is out for blood, alot of these cars still provide transportation to the local cruise night. Of course there are some purpose built cars as well.

Anyway, the tires you see on Lanes Mustang are in fact reproduction Polyglas GT G-60 15 tires. It is common for racers to shave the tires down to the wear bars. Lanes tires are on the ragged edge for sure. We have all been through the "soaking thing" and I can't think of anyone that still does it. Another common aid is to hold off the timing advance through either a digital ignition box or to simply slow the distributor way down.
