Hi, I heard about this site from another forum. They say you guys do some track racing, that's what I'm into. Here's a short vid of my car. I hope you guys approve, it's not the fastest thing going...but I love it. It's an 85 Mercury Capri, 302 with a G-force T-5...and all the usual goodies.

Here's a few more pics, I've owned this car for 14 years. But the last few years I have spent more time on it than pretty much anything else I own.

I've changed the shifter since this pic, it now has a pistol grips handle

I've since added a bottle heater...

The only dyno sheet I have, I'm fairly proud of it. LOL.

Forgot to mention that I go to National Trails at least 2 times a year, always go to the ford show there.

LOL, I just noticed my title...guess I suck. That's pretty funny, I hope I'm doing better now. And I read all the rules, look pretty serious to me. I like it.

It actually pulled the slowest 60' of the day with the juice on, it was a tenth slower off the line...spinning. I just put lakewood 90/10 struts and 50/50 rear shocks, plus went to 4.10s and a 27" Hoosier QTP. Had 3.73s with 26" MT ET street with stock struts and shocks. I also just put a 150 shot on it, hoping for 10s this year.

the spray wont like the 4.10s...you'll hit the tires to hard and spin more.

 

 

good idea going with the 27's tho..i had 28's under mine with 4.10s

 

they barely fit in there.
