Well it is another beautiful day here at Beech Bend. It may not be that way for long, though. The weather is calling for rain and 90. I will be taking more pictures today, so stay tuned!

Larry, is the starting system a .5 or .4 pro tree?

Larry Hill · 06-17-2011, 10:47 AM

Mike, Top Stock runs on a full handicap tree. They had it wrong the 1st run.

Here is a picture of me purchasing the new Retro 2012 1/2 Ford Mustang from Brent Hajek this morning. It is a non-supercharged 7.0 liter but it does have a single overhead cam and a chain a mile long. Since it is a natural aspirated engine, NHRA has rated it at 205 hp. With the weight in it, it should run J/S. I think it may be a tight fit for me to drive it. I may have to move the seat back. We will debut the car next week at Norwalk!

That's funny,Larry....but sadly, not much different than what we have today in Stock.

Chuck Beach · 06-17-2011, 02:23 PM

Sweet ride Larry, but will it do big wheelies like the Cuda? See ya at Norwalk ...

Tom Goldman · 06-17-2011, 02:55 PM

Nice ride Larry, just remember to lift at the 1000' the first time out.
You don't want to hit the HP too soon!
I'd like to have the Clair Sanders/ Jungle Jim Nova behind it.
I used to wrench on that car when a good friend campained it in B/Altered ,back in the mid '70s.
Could have bought it back in '89 for $1500!! Oh Well ....

Larry I’m glad there is still a place for all you old timers to race. Why would you buy a new car that is not fly by wire? How are you planning to cheat now without it? Who is going to tune it for you ? Jason Fuller?
