Re: pics from INDY... 2011... from sheehan
Have you ever heard the term You can't take a Donkey to the Kentucky Derby??
The car looks good but trying to run it in modified classes no way 112 Wheelbase, heavy, wide, heavy and worse Aero to start, and you are going to run this car against a Colbalt or Sunfire? No way. I would bet there is at least .15 difference with the same drive train. |

Re: pics from INDY... 2011... from sheehan
The whole too heavy, too wide thing - is that why you don't see more of the new Mustangs built for the modified classes?
That is my dream car to take a '05 - '08 mustang and build for one of the mod classes. |

Sure is a plus, GT cars also. The front wheel conversion rules has a lot more wiggle room.

Re: pics from INDY... 2011... from sheehan
How's this for COOL and RETRO!
Years ago, when you went to INDY, you would come home with a goodie bag full of t-shirts, hats, STP, spark plugs, etc.. Those were the days! Well.... how about "QUICK FUEL TECHNOLOGY". They came by the trailer today and gave us a "Class Winner" T-shirt! Little things like this are things that go a long way! A BIG THANKS TO... "QUICK FUEL TECHNOLOGY"
