Awesome Lane.....good to see you make that combo work and show 'em how a Ford can run.....they just can't believe it........I have the vid of one of your passes up on my Facebook...................D

I really wanna build one now, the ultimate sleeper.....

So I will comply and just make it run a little FASTer.

Now that is funny.Widen the ET gap even more Lane.

The Mopar guys would probably given you HIGH PRAISE like us here in the Ford camp.

Actually I was thinking that after you had changed from the Torino to the Mach 1 that Dave would have done the same and gone to a Challenger or Cuda.He or someone just might have to with what you had just run.

some jelly in that thread

Congrats Lane, that's F-ing impressive!!!

Keep Rocking the Socks off the MOPAR and GM crowd !!!! They need a good ass woopin' everynow and then to keep their heads from getting to big !!!

whats the plan for the torino? sure looks like a nice car.

There are NO chassis certification rules for a stock production appearing car.

A lot of Chevy guys complain because they simply won't allow a ZL-1 Corvette to compete yet they allow a ZL-1 Camaro and GM built more of those Corvettes than Camaros.

I want to see a BOSS Torino or Mustang; now THAT would be a blood letting.

Why won't they allow the Corvette, is it because it is more of a sports car than a muscle car? I would think that a BOSS would be quite a performer.

I thought that NHRA rulebook stated that any vehicle that runs faster than 10.00 must have a certification .

The guys that make the rules claim that because GM only built 2 ZL1 corvettes, they are not legal. ZL1 camaro's are legal.

The mustang goes into the chassis shop for a cage and cert. next week. I don't plan on going slower.

I have no idea; they allow the Corvette with an iron L88 engine.
A lot of their rules make little sense. For instance, one rule required the use of STOCK valve covers but, since a few people were dimpling the roof so their valve adjusters would clear, they now allow a valve cover 1" taller than stock as long as the shape appears production.
They have transmission inner parts limitations but, I've NEVER seen where anyone took a trans apart yet.
Electric crankcase vacuum pumps which are hidden are legal but not a mechanical belt driven one, even though MOST of these cars came factory stock with an air pump which can be used as a vacuum pump.

Don't get me into it as some of the rules have absolutely NO rhyme or reason.
As Lane has said, he has to change something just because it doesn't "look right" to someone who makes the rules.

F.A.S.T. has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with NHRA or IHRA or NMCA or any other sanctioning body. They write their own rules.

The Boss Mustang is THE first car I thought of to carry the Ford banner in F.A.S.T. from the start, when that ZL1 Camaro was kicking ass. After Lane Carey's showing with a "mere" SCJ Mustang, the Boss seems unfair now.

Someone needs to do it!

I don't care if they write thier own rules or not Randy. If they go down an NHRA sanctioned track they have to play by the NHRA rules period. The same goes for IHRA or the ADRL, Unless it is an independant racetrack thats the only way around it. Lane stated above that hes going for the chassis certification becuase he does not plan on slowing down.

NOT TRUE ... I have seen 9 second "snowmobiles" go down both NHRA and IHRA tracks, Canada and USA, when another sanctioning body leases the track for THEIR event.
I don't see rules allowing ANY snowmobiles in NHRA or IHRA.

That Mustang is going to the chassis shop electively by the owner; it ALREADY went well into the nines just the way it is.

Can't say about the NHRA as I have not been a member inthe last 5 yrs, I am IHRA. They certainly do have snowmobiles in IHRA. 2010 rulebook pages 79-81 are snowmobile rules.

Actually, NHRA does have a section for E.T. snowmobiles with rules for them, section 4E, page 15, 2011 NHRA rulebook, 7.50 and slower.....

Aint no sense in arguing with someone who knows everything and has never been wrong. I'll bow out and refrain from answering anymore post but your still wrong ...........

I wasn't aware of the "snowmobile" rules, do they have a certain ET chassis certification section...?

Travis ... it must be that Lane's record is all conjecture because after all, his car MUST not have passed the appropriate certification rules, right...? A bit sarcastic but, I think that is not the case.
Let's make this more clear, I have personally witnessed a certain hemi road runner go well into the nines at an NHRA track at Mid Michigan Motorplex at a F.A.S.T. event and he continued to race.
Tell me and everybody else WHY he was allowed to do this...? After all ... by the rules of NHRA it can't happen; yet it DID. And, why does this continue to happen just about everywhere they race at NHRA and IHRA tracks.
Have you got an example of someone in F.A.S.T. who was NOT allowed to race at some actual event to back-up what you're saying here.
I may be wrong about what is supposed to be the actual NHRA or IHRA track rules but, I definitely am not wrong about what I have actually seen happen and has been allowed.

Reality is a bitch ...!

EDIT: I resent the "knows everything and has never been wrong" comment because if you have read a lot here or other places I have admitted to being wrong lots of times and have no problem with that when it is true.

im sure when someone gets hurt , reality will set in for all those organizations ....its all about the drivers saftey 10, 9 sec runs thats way fast for no driver safety

I totally agree, Bruno.

100% driver safety is no racing . NHRA pro Bike , where is Anton Browns roll cage ? think he's a little faster than 10.9
