I'm goin Pro 5.0!!!!
 

Well after alot of thinking, I'm gonna race some Pro 5.0 races this year!! I think my car has got what it takes to run with Pro 5.0 boys. I've got pretty much the same setup as Billy Glidden (he built the motor anyways) and after talking to him on the phone the other day, he feels like my car should run with them. I gotta get it a little bit lighter though, but my first race will be at Maple Grove. So if anyones near that track come on out and wish me luck!!!

Eric

SAWEEEEEETTTT MAN, thats good to hear. Gonna run with the big dogs huh? Good luck, cant wait to see this beast go the 1320.

Brad

Thanks Brad, yeah I'm gonna TRY to run with the big dogs. I think it will do ok though, I've got the hp that's for sure!! I had it dyno'd a while back...at the rear wheels on motor it's putting out 982hp...on both stages it's pushing 1784 hp!!! I got it on video, i'll post it soon!!! Crank the VOLUME UP. hehe

Eric

Only 1728 horse huh, well i've got that between 9 cars so it like no big deal ya know, yeah yeah ya know, no big deal right,


HOLY SCHNICKIES

Not bad I guess.

Brad

I can't fathom what a 400-500rwhp car would feel like to launch down the track, let alone something with more than 3 times that power!

good luck with it, and if you get scared and need a driver then shoot me an email :D

Woohoooo!!! Good luck!! When you become big and famous, don't forget us little people! ;)

JL1314, I wouldn't forget you guys here even if I did get famous..I'd just charge you guys for autographs though.lmao j/k

Eric

Wow! That's going to be a hoot and a half for ya!

Remember, it's not always the fastest car that wins, it's the most consistent. If you can go rounds without breaking,etc. then you actually stand a decent chance.

You can't make it to the race in Reynolds this weekend? Be awesome if you could. I'd like to see it. Congrats on everything!

Good Luck, James

Man thats a real beast!!!!! well Over 1000Hp+ N/A man thats a crap load!!! I would love to see the vid when you get it up!!

I'm just drooling thinking of all that power. That is very awsome ! Good Luck! We're all chearing you on!

I don't really keep up with Pro 5.0, always was interested in the guy-next-door type cars, but congrats!:) :D

Last time I even paid attention to that class, weren't they running basically tube chassis cars with lexan windows and fiberglass shells and stuff? You need to get you one of 'em and run against the pros with that! ;)

Too Cool!!!
 

Good Choice ERIC!!!!! Thats Too Cool!!!! :cool: You still gonna take me for a spin at Cecil????? Think we could figure out a way? Theres gotta be a nice straight away road off somewhere!!!! (w/ no cops???!!??) :)
Good luck, and let us know a schedule when you get one!!
Topless :D

thanks guys for all the encouragement!! Mustangbelle, my car will be light enough to where I want need fiberglass bodies and such, it's set up like a Pro Stock car now. I think it will be very competitive. I know that it's very consistent..I go rounds almost everytime at the track. So I'm very excited about this year!!! Christine, I'll take you for a ride down the road if we don't get caught!! hehe Thing gets kinda noisy, hope we don't atract too much attention.lol

Eric

So what are your times going to be in the 1/4? I saw your 4.69 1/8th time....what's that in 1320' terms? 7s?

6T9 Pony, it equals out to around low, low 7's -high 6's in the quarter.

Hmmm....You'd be finished with a 1/4 quite a while before I'd get done with an 1/8th.....man...I need some more mods.....:(

;)

I have a question for you, what does it cost to build a pro5.0able car?(would it be alot more expencive to have it turbocharged?)

thanks

man i would say you have the car to do it, i alway's admired the glidden's good luck to you and your monsterstang,kick some butt, i would like to see it run, l8ter :D ;)

I wish u all kinda of luck. Let me drive it sometime plz.

Bowtie Eater, i've got probably (and this is a rough estimate) $80,000 or more in the car. I've got WAY to much money invested. But that's what it cost to be competitive. Plus i've been building this car for about 4 or 5 years.

Eric

I dont know if I'd be smiling so bad it hurts, or crapping my pants if I got a ride down the quarter mile in a car like that. Sounds like one heck of a ride. Good luck!!

Wheres your money tree located at? I could use some...:)

thats like too cool dude .....if you run at maple grove let me know i'll be there.........1,000 plus horses .....darn your probly going to have the fastest car at cecel this year ......last year there were a couple of 8 sec cars there but the fastest run i saw from the ssotn bunch was low 9s ........should be neat to see it run .......as for running on the street ....mmmm i know a couple of back roads around there ....but every cop within 10 miles will know sombodys playing :D

can't wait to see it run:) hopfully i'll get mine put back together by then .....it won't be the same if i have to run the rusted out nissan:D

hey i've got an idea!

Why dont you take it to the Corral day in July and show everyone there what message board the guys with the REAL mustangs hang out at :D

Hey, u never said if I could drive it or not???

MustangMan65_79, sure i'll let you drive it, if you think you can handle it.lol I think you'd have a hard time starting it though. Starting my car is like starting the NASA space shuttle.lol buttons everywhere.lol
