Future plans:
   I need a good block... Looking to see what heads up class I want to run. There is nothing really local
   and the nation wide events are not coming within 2500 miles from me now. Probably will size the engine
   to run in one of the PSCA classes. Thinking a 327 dart block, T-76 or 81 something nasty, Watch in
   builds in the future for a fully documented build.
Background:
   I bought this car September 20 1996 when I was fifteen after working for two summers and a bit of help from my parents. It was stock with some sweet custom straight pipes. At that point I could not wait to get my license and drive this sexy black t-top car in my garage. Finally the day came and i was sixteen, and off and running, I still have the same feelings for the car as I did then. I really didn't have a ton of extra cash back then due to only a part time job and some rocket high insurance rates so it stayed pretty much stock for a long time. I had a group of guys I went to school with that I ran back into after moving out of my little home town in the summer of 2000 and they had Mustangs as well and with one of them being cocky about his new nitrous kit. I knew I had to beat this guy  : ) so a started researching a NOS kit of my own with bigger jets than him, At that point the street racing scene was coming alive again in Denver, We had a big cruise area and I was spending every weekend out there with my friends. Soon after that they shut the cruising down so on Friday nights we would be forced to go to the track and it just started to take off from there.In 2004 I found Turbo Mustangs . com and realized I could do something like this. so after a few good years of running the juice a contacted Jeff Carrol of Pony Down and took the plunge. After reading this web site until my eyes would not take it anymore and talking with member after member made it so simple. Every year is another round of modifications and bigger dreams I'm about at the stock blocks limit right now and am just trying to make it one more year while a redo the suspension and get the fuel system in for the monster it will be receiving.
I would like to thank all my friends for the late nights before races slamming this car back together and having on the trailer before the sun would rise in time to leave, My family and girlfriend for sticking with me through all the late nights, money spent , and parts ran around town.
