goody2speed's 2002 Ford Mustang

My good weather weekend good times

About this Current Vehicle:

One Friday afternoon I received some bad news about my health. The next morning I bought this Mustang. I had been looking at it for a week and I wasn't that interested in a convertible, but it was special, good color, and low miles. So I bought it.

That was 4 years ago and the health problems are gone but I still have the Mustang.

I raced it near stock during 2004 and 2005 at mile-high Bandimere in Denver (5,800 ft). I had a supercharger installed in winter of 2006 and didn't race it that year. Last year, 2007, I raced it quite a lot. After installing M/T DRs and experimenting, it had a best of 13.34 ET and almost 105 mph (sneaked by on the roll bar rule).

This year (2008) I've added a fiberglass top which allows me to be teched as a coupe, thus not required to have a roll bar until 11.50. I hope to get into the 12s.

4/27/08--I think I could have gotten close to the 12s today. At Coy's Street Machine Showdown at Bandimere in Denver, I ran 13.306 and 13.309 in my qualifying rounds. I dialed 13.30 and was leading the other guy so I backed off. I had been running close to 106 on the top end and I backed off to 102 and still ran 13.15. If I had stayed in it I think I would have had a 13.05

7/16/08-First time racing since May. Raised boost to 10.5, which I think is safe at 5,800 ft altitude here in Colorado. Very hot, ran consistent 13.15 +-. It cooled off a little around 7:30 for my last run. 12.89 @ 106.23. I added some pictures from this day at Bandimere.
