Jeff has done a lot more with a lot less than many others. He still uses a production block and heads, cast intake and an old carburetor on an engine that sits in front of a basic C4 transmission. And he's been fast for a long time in an older, boxy car that he may have built himself.

Imagine what he could do in a new, smaller car with all the bells and whistles.

What he has managed to achieve with his combination is impressive to say the least.

Not sure how long Jeff has had the car, but I can remember it growing up, and it was always fast. I do almost all work on our cars, and there is a sense of pride in completing and succeeding with a car built with your own hands.

Not to get off topic,another one that runs well with homebuilt and hard work is Jeff Roell with his 93 Mustang. He got himself a ride in a Cobra Jet for his efforts. And a great guy who will help you out if you have problems at the track.

one of these posts said jeff had not beat garys mustang. not true. jeff has outrun garys mustang several times. maple grove in class 2011and as a matter of fact when jeff set the record at 8.87 in 2013 gary was there and went a 8.91 i think . like someone said earlier just think if jeff had a cougar or a escort with a pro trans etc. the record would probably be in the low 8.80s or high 8 70s. he is the man in gt/aa!!!!!
