2001 Ford Mustang GT - Rumor Thrill
Instead, the NMRA allowed ported Two-Valve heads, which seems to have done the trick. At the NMRA Bradenton opener, Tim confirmed the pushrod crowd's worst fears with a 9.91/137 mph qualifying hit to land in the third spot. Just in case anyone thought those numbers were a joke, Tim ran a 9.85, a 9.86, and a 9.89 (all three at more than 136 mph) to signal the arrival of a truly competitive modular Real Street car, and to win the first race of 2004.
With his Bradenton performance in the books, maybe those 9.60s weren't so far-fetched after all.
