Jeff I'm more impressed with your performance than a new car. No computer, turbo, blower, EFI, etc.

You may recall Calvert's Mustang is the 428....the one his son ran at Pomona. I agree with Ed's assessment though...Jeff's car is very impressive.

Thanks ED, If I could just keep a tranny in it for more than four runs in a row I might be able to race. I belive now I do remember a posting from NHRA about those combos a year or so ago. Senior moment I guess. Still thought they had to produce so many in a year to be legal. Can't keep up with all this new stuff.

Nhra changed the rules, no more certain amt built. At the discretion of nhra.

Jeff, are you running a Jerico or a G-force currently?
