Phoenix Mustang Mafia strikes at SPGP

[2012-Boss]

@blacksheep-1

The Phoenix #32 Boss 302 driven by Andrew Aquilante is on the starting grid at the St. Petersburg PWC series opener. Does this mean Phoenix is getting back into World Challenge for 2017?

And unfortunately the #32 is the only Mustang in the field. I hope we see Kohr and others get the Mustang GT4 into the series to compete against the debuting Camaro GT4.

I am watching updates from @blacksheep-1 on Facebook; looks like they were 1st in practice and 3rd in qual. Pretty good for "some old Mustang" and the only car in the field still shifting the "old fashioned way".

AJ posted on FB that this was probably the last race for the Boss 302 in PWC. Not sure if Phoenix will field a new FP350S or not.

Congratulations to Andrew and Phoenix on the win. It's nice to see the Boss going out with a first place finish.

And the info on his win. Could be the final major race victory for the Boss 302.

What an electrifying win! So awesome to see the "old" stick axle Boss kick ass on much newer, more sophisticated iron. Speaks volumes about Andrew's talent as a driver. Congrats to everyone on the Phoenix Racing team!

AW has a good article on it too, btw: http://autoweek.com/article/other-r...ebut-pirelli-world-challenge-gts-race-st-pete

My favorite headline is "Ford ruins Camaro GT4 debut"....the mustang mafia strikes again.

Unfortunately, no more funding for the year as it stands now

Congrats and it's extra special beating any POS Camaro!

After the performance in St. Pete, I'm surprised about lack of funding/sponsors? That's too bad!

I love it...

Always rewarding to win over the Chevy's... We build lots of them also, so this pair of victories is pretty sweet. We enjoy the Mustangs immensely and the guys have gotten pretty good making them work well!!!

Andrew drove his heart out in both races.. Lawson was there the entire time.. It was tense nose to tail racing. A real shoot out.
For this time at least the boss was still the Boss!!!

many thanks to our crew, Rob Jason and Drew from St pete and Kurt and Ben from the shop who were supporting Prestons Porsche in the GT Cup race and the entire home team... Mark, Chris, Bob, Joey, Larry Jeanne Ina and Tammy and Steve..

We are a small family of 13 or so hard workers who never give up... And winning never gets old!!!
