Boss 302 now at 95% track/5% Street. But still has its papers!!

Oh, by the way the other two mustangs in the videos are my friends and they have Cortex setups and all the usual TMO goodies, one with Nitro and the other can drive but 420rwhp does not get you far.
Hows that new motor pull compared to the old one?
 
Stronger! but I think I have a false knock, At lower rpm the timing feels like its being pulled and then it takes off like a bat out of hell. Am sure when we fix that my times will drop.

I think it appears in track conditions since the street logs were fine with Shaun

I imagine that will be worked out on the dyno, yes?

I was really impressed with the race coverage even though the only words I understood were
"Mat-hew Toomb-son" and "Moostang". Showed it to a few people and everyone was impressed...why don't they do that here? Was that a special race or is that how they do all the races?
 
This is our coverage. 😟


Riveting, isn't it?

Oh boy...... Thats kinda of sad.

We got together with a team that covered rugby events (kind of like your version of football but with out pads :sneaky: ). Our category pays 50% of the cost and the time attack crowd pays the other half. In the end it cost us about US$2000 per event.

So yes!! all of our races will be online like this!! Dam, that means I can't BS any more....
 
No need to BS, heck I am starting to think you have been too humble over the years, you are pretty damn fast and impressive ---- even if you do get penalties for actually exhibiting skill!!!
 
Frankly Fabman I am thinking of recording your video coverage, since there is nothing better for racers of retirement age to fall asleep to than a bunch of roaring race cars them into somnambulance! Damn sight better than a bunch of bleating sheep, unless you are in Montana where that would be an escort service.

I used to use the 1995 Daytona 500...worked like a charm for years.
 
Now all my Stang friends are asking me where to get gen 3 short block..... Are they sold out as well now?
The first rule of fight club is we don't talk about fight club.
 
Lol... but I did not tap him!! I swear!
We used to call it "Giving him a boost down the straightaway"....you just lay a bumper on him so smooth he doesnt feel it...then you give him a little boost to speed him up and then let him go before the turn in and they always slip up the track and you go under them and by....later!
 
Dam, I am head of our category down here, so I will pretend I did not read that and make notes for the next time :biggrin: . for some reason they thought a Gringo would be fair and decent.....

It is fair and decent...you're just giving them some extra speed for free.
