2011 Mustangs Dominate in 1st and 2nd
We don't seem to ever talk about Mustangs around here, but the 2011's really seem to be something taking 1st and 2nd at MIS.
These two might have some additional equipment installed.

Frankly, the Ford's are sandbagging a bit so as not get kicked out, their new motor really really kicks. They are the motor to beat this year. Also, that is a pretty far cry from a Mustang!!!
I live near the NASCAR capitol.

Other than they have to call that car something, what does it have to do with a Mustang.

Well, it does have a V8 driving the rear wheels and a live rear axle at that.It's marketing, so you get to call it something folks can recognize. Most folks can't tell one car from another anyway, right?
Remember a few years ago when the Ford NASCAR racer was the Taurus? Yeah, right!  Les

Let's just say Ford supports more than one type of racing, okay?

I lost interest in Nascar.....
when they brought out the "Car of Tomorrow" or COT. It would not bother me at all if Nascar just dried up and disappeared. I would like to see the Can-Am and Trans-Am series come back. Now those were some great racing series!

bad news is that the trans-am cars from the '90's forward all shared the same chassis,gearbox,a-arms,spindles, driveshafts & rear-ends, The bodies and engines got the change
