      I know what you mean. My buddy Burt has a bright red 65' Corvette, and I own a 68' California Special Mustang. My GT/CS gets a little more attention at the cruise in shows, but he usually gets to the next stop light quicker with his 350 over my stock 289.

    Best seat in the house! This car really illustrates the definition of the old saying, "straightening out the corners". Almost no perceptible body roll here, even with 50 year old suspension technology on a 47 year old car. He was going beyond the 7200 rpm shift light on the main straightaway every time! I'd bet he was almost pegging 8,000 rpm. I was concerned towards the end when the black corvette started catching up, but he never got by.....

    Great video, broght back allot of memories. Has been 25 plus years since I have turned a hot lap at PIR. Even had the opportunity to co-drive the enduro once back in the day. Looks like the curbing on the West end is different now, was real tall back then. Ran a few times at SIR and the last year at Westwood before they turned a very nice track into condominiums.
    Really brought a smile to my face waving at the turn workers during the race. I seemed to never find the time for that. Well except in the enduro, when you are loosing your concentration. It was lilke ... ok, I am loosing focus, I will wave at the sound guy this time etc..
    I first cut my teeth @30 years ago, as crew on a Cougar Eliminator with a Boss. Was the suspension guy ... ok ok ... the guy who bleeds the brakes every time the car hits the track. Back then we ran the Rose Cup without muffled exhaust ... good times for sure. Strange, then you start driving you still are the bleed the brakes, tire pressures, torque the weels guy too!
    Keep up the terrific work, and for sure keep picking on the bow tie guys!!!

    I remember this Ford jingle very well. My father bought a brand new red '67 Mustang Fastback, 289 4V, stick for $2800. he used to drive the '67 in road rally's. Years later in the early 1970's he bought a few years old green '69 428CJ Mustang Mach I. He sold the '69 around 1973/74, during the Arab Oil Embargo.

      Parents and their cars from back in the day were the best. My step dad had a Sunbeam Tiger I went 110 in at 10 years old. They had a 70 Challenger 440 RT when I turned 16. My mom made him sell it so I couldn't drive it. He bought an Opel GT he did let me drive on dates. Cool beans those old cars.

      @user-hb8be5wb4q Před 5 lety +3

      That distributor placement is one of the many reasons I liked Fords, but many reasons later from owning gm cars that broke me from liking their cars. 1955 Chevy 210, v8; 1972 Chevy VEGA(double ugh)(crap), 1979 Buick Electra 225, Limited. Now that is my gm list. All three caused me and my exwife mountains of repairs, lost trade-in values, and lots of grief. I never liked the distributor in a place near the firewall. That caused me gut hurting trying to reach it. They say the Ford emblem has circled the problem, but I believe it’s the circles that Ford has run around the competition.

    Nordic Viking, I am an old, old Ford guy. Love that 427 Stang! But I have to say, I am completely dumb founded to see my old friend and next door neighbor, who I have not seen since 1965, Crew Chief, Jim Brownlee! He and I started out building Flathead V8s back in the early 60's when we were in HS, Tacoma WA. I left for the service that year and he moved to Oregon and we lost touch. If you see him tell him (Ivy) Iverson said Hi!

    being able to beat corvettes is certainly a testament to his driving skill and the way the suspension is set up because that is one front-heavy car , right there . and no independent rear suspension either . but i don't think that really matters too much on a smooth track

  • @charleswaynewright2042

    He keeps shutting that glove box ? That brings back what made me fall in love with the mustang I had a 67 GTO at the time and kept blowing the engine I bought a 67 mustang that had some soup added to it and that glove box poping open and the body flex you felt under the seat was pure adrenaline that car felt like your pants it was part of you

      That's because the small block Chebbies has to have 4.11 rears to make up for the lack of pure torque of a Ford FE...

    I don't care if it's a Ford, Chevy, Dodge, American Motors, etc. I'd take any one of those cars in a heartbeat. He looks like he's just out for a casual drive. Waiving at the pits as he flys by.

    I agree Teri, We might have to look into that. You can see some great pictures on Facebook at "Ludicrous Speed Racing" and track Ken, he's racing his Miata in Sonoma this weekend. Thanks for your comments and I hope you had as much fun as we did. Ford... It's The Going Thing !

    He is slowing down just enough to let the Vettes almost catch up. IMO as an open tracker, passing cars is a more fun than leading them unless you are getting $$$ for being first.
    In Vintage racing some guys are serious and some are out there for photo ops I think this driver is serious.
