dy85merc Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 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. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dy85merc Posted January 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 Thanks, seemed like it took forever to get my account activated. LOL. I thought maybe you guys weren't accepting new members. But I'm in now...Awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dy85merc Posted January 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 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 http://img33.imageshack.us/img33/2613/capri003.jpg I've since added a bottle heater... http://img705.imageshack.us/img705/238/car2009015.jpg The ole boat anchor 302... http://img33.imageshack.us/img33/3900/capri007.jpg The only dyno sheet I have, I'm fairly proud of it. LOL. http://img709.imageshack.us/img709/482/dyno001.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dy85merc Posted January 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 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.

dy85merc Posted January 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 should have picked up more then 6 tenths on a 100 shot i call :bs: 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
