I finaly bolted some slicks on my 91 to see what I might get out of it. My best pass was a 10.86 at 129 mph. I still only managed a best 60 foot of 1.62. I need a rear anti sway bar. It is twisting pretty badly. There are a few more tricks I might try in the future to help it out. there was a great turn out of cars tonight.

I talked to a few guy's who were at the track last night and they said my car was still spinning the tires through first and second so there is room for improvment there. I guess running slicks that are 5 years old doesn't help lol

I was their also, which fox was yours? My best run of the night with both a slipping clutch and spinning tires was an 11.99 in my 03 Cobra. I was hoping for an 11.5 or so but didn't quite get there... Maybe next time.

Mine was the blue lx hatch with the Welds and the bra. The Fast one(sicF250) was the red with the cowl hood. was your Cobra black?

My car did not make the trip I changed the oil right before we were ready to leave,when I started it the oil pressure gauge wasn't working.I went to ford got a new oil pressure sensor and installed it. I guess I over tightened it because as soon as I started it oil went everywhere,there was a big crack in the side of the cast aluminum part where the sensor screws into. I was stuck in the passenger seat all weekend,at least it was in a blown,tubed 68 mustang.

I drove by and checked out the blown 68 when you guy's were parked by Jeff CA. cattle company resturant on Sunday. If you saw a dark gray expedition cruise by checking out the car it was me. The 68 looked sweet.

That's the 2nd one in 3 weeks I've heard about.
Sensor took a crap right after an oil change....very strange.
Maybe AED should be taking care of your oil changes.

thanks. I finaly decided to slick it up and try for a 10. Since my 69 ran 10's for so long it wasn't a real big goal of mine to hit a 10 in my 91. I need to stop now and finish my 69 lol.

---

No, no no.... You need to get that thing up to 140MPH now.

lol I hit 130.7 the other day. I think that is as close as I am going to try to get for now....but I wasn't going to do anything to this car when I got it

I do have a F2 with a intercooler in my spare room do you think I would hit 140 first or blow the crank out the bottom first....I vote for the crank
