DKilbourne Posted June 10, 2018 Report Share Posted June 10, 2018 (edited) So, a good friend of mine took his "old school" 86 mustang to the track this weekend and rowed gears to a true street win. We are fairly certain that he is the 1st stick car to win an NMRA true street event as well. Really cool to see a friend who has worked so hard to get where he is with the car to win it. We knew he needed a clean 3rd pass to have it and it was hilarious watching all of us be nervous for him. There is a good pic of his car lifting both back up going into 2nd on NMRAs site. http://www.nmradigital.com Congrats again Mike. You deserve it.

spankis Posted June 11, 2018 Report Share Posted June 11, 2018 Somebody else can confirm, but I believe this is the Mike in question: http://www.dragzine.com/features/car-features/driver-mod-activated-mike-niehaus-9-second-four-eye-fox/ ^^ That article's a year old, so things may have been massaged since then. Either way congrats! Handshaker mafia ftw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way congrats! Handshaker mafia ftw Yep. That was from Bowling Green in 2016. Car has a stock magnum in it now. Definitely a solid option for a 6 speed. It also has a 10pt cage and a few other updates and tweaks, but the basics haven't changed too much since then. He is on holeshot wheels now instead of the bogart's. Oh, he will be at the Kilkare track rental too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DKilbourne Posted July 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2018 Well, he is at it again. Runner up at the NMRA/NMCA Super Bowl in Joliet true street today. He was the quickest NMRA car and will face the quickest NMCA car tomorrow for a ring. Slightly new setup and went 9.09. It also trapped 161.6. That's one bad stick shift mustang!

DKilbourne Posted July 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2018 We were talking about his car here at the office during Horsepower wars. She angry... She is also rather quiet now...... Picked up 40 on the back half! The 9.09 was on a mediocre 1.55 60' too. First time out with the new setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
