Four Drag Week Winners

[jayb]

Got a pretty good picture over the weekend of my four Drag Week winning cars; sent a copy in to Hot Rod for potential publication.  I think I may be the only person who has won their class at Drag Week with four different cars, although I'm not 100% sure about that. 



I thought I'd post a picture to "scoop" Hot Rod in case they do publish it; FE Power forum members saw it first

Four mighty nice rides!   Even better since we know how much effort went in to them

I think you should get started on a 5th vehicle just to be sure lol.

That's a great picture, it would make a nice poster!

And Congrats again on the accomplishment.

Cool pic! I don't really didn't follow the past events closely but I'd bet you're correct.

Oooooohhh, thats so nice.  Certainly something to be proud of. I think a couple guys have done it with 2 different cars, but 4!, I think your in a league of your own. They should do an article.

Nothing like a smart-aleck Drunk Monkey!  You certainly enjoyed a few of the "estate's" adult beverages at the photo shoot yesterday

Ya know Jay...............you are working on another mustang.
Just kidding, that is a fantastic shot.
Hope you're as proud of yourself as we are of you.

Awesome Collection
I wasn't on the forum when you did the GT
does is still have the 5.4? what did you do to that car?

[jayb]

I ran the GT in bone stock condition at Drag Week 2006, in the Daily Driver class, shortly after I purchased it at the end of 2005.  At Drag Week I had to slip the clutch to get it to launch, and by the end of the event the clutch was pretty much burned up.  After I got back home I put in a Spec clutch and the factory Ford Motorsports headers (by Borla), feeding into the stock muffler.  I also put a different tune in the ECU.  I'm guessing its just over 600 HP now, and still has the original drivetrain.

What, no DragWeek sticker on the GT?  Great group of Fords. Nice pic!

Yeah, that kind of sucks, doesn't it?  The GT's windshield is so curved that the banner sticker draped down into the middle of the windshield on either end, so I never put the sticker on, not even at the event.  I put it up on my shop wall instead.  It would have been cool to have it on there, since the car won its class...

×2!   I'd take one.

Excellent work Jay.

Dang Jay that is just awesome. You might be correct cause I can't think of anyone else with four cars in the winters circle. If Scott would have chosen super street this year he would have had Ist place in that class. I think all he needed to do was add a piece of fiberglass somewhere. Again that is a great accomplishment with those four cars. I think Hot Rod should do an article on it.
