Got a chance to get on the Pinks All Out @ St. Louis.
We made it to the track and was there about 2 hrs and the
camera crew came up and asked if I wanted my car on the show?
So as you can guess I said "Sure" they video the car in the pits and
interveiwed me as to "Why I built a Cougar instead of a mustang"
Here are some photos of the trip.

Car ran a new best so I have to update the E.T. sheet.
10.86 @134.4 MPH
then a
10.65 @ 135.5 new personal best
Thats AWESOME. I hope they put you on the show.
Did you get in the final 16? And what'd you say to their question?
Thats freaking awsome dude! I can't wait to see the episode!
You've made this community very proud Sir. :bowdown:
Very cool and congrats on your new ET. Hope to see you on the way up in 2 weeks. Turbo kitty runs again by the way. Just needed a new oil cap on the valve cover. Old one did not seal and the turbo was sucking it out. I'll tell ya more at CatJam.
Awesome work, Greg! I was a bit confused from your phone call. I thought you'd decided to put a turbo on the black car, or I'd missed that detail. It's even more exciting to know that's your full weight car running that fast! AWESOME!
As a side note, it did turn out that the 460 Crown Vic was off one tooth at the crank on the timing gear. We haven't taken it to the track yet, but it feels like we went from a solid 17 second 1/4 to a solid 15.5 second 1/4. It sure is expensive, not to mention time consuming, to go fast. LOL.
Oh, and don't forget to fix your signature!!

very cool man... Wow, that is a sick time..... yes VERY COOL.
I see you got the hood done and painted too... looks good.
Let us know when it will air. I would love to sit with my wife and say... I know that guy...
Did they interview your buddy and ask him why he made the mistake of building a Mustang instead of a Cougar? :D
The show will air on Sept 11.
I told them I worked on mustangs all day long @ the shop.
So I built a cougar to be diffrent. I also told them that anyone
could build a light car and make it fast but it was alot more work
to make a heavy car fast.
I also told them that I have A/c,cruise and power seats and windows.
I may have to upgrade from basic cable...
congrats on the times and the interview!
now the real question; did you plug the FTBCF???? :evilgrin:
Awsome!!! Cant wait to see that episode.:burnout:
Very cool! I'll be recording that one for constant future viewing. :D
I can see myself in the 2nd pic! I thought you ran an 11.2 on Friday but i could be wrong. I will be going again next year if they came back.
Yeah, On Fri the rear end 1 legged and ran a 11.2 @ 130? MPH
I didn't get a ticket for that run.
The 10's were on Sat morning.
Nice talking to you. Were you the 1 with his girl friend?
That was me. I came by Saturday with my Dad an showed him. I saw that the rear didnt lock friday. Did you see the TT Mustang that ran 6.6 on Friday? The Jet car ran a 6.6 Saturday but was alittle faster than the Stang.
I talked to the guy with the early 80's Bird and he said that the 83-84 Bird you told me about had a Chevy in it.
Ive been bragging to everyone that a full street trim with power everything and A/C Cougar ran 10.6
I didn't see the TT Stang run but someone else told me they
ran the same time as the jet car.
That sucks about the chevy motor in the T bird.
I think with a trac loc rebuild I can get to mid 10's with a better
60 ft time. I have plenty of boost left just trying to get the best I
can with the current boost level.
weren't you sayin something about it not hooking with too much boost
The Mustang was cool but it was a lift off tube chassis car
Once we got the trac lok to lock up it made it more stable on the
other end of the track.
Should also be able to add boost sooner off the line.
Great numbers Greg !
Very impressive.
After I found out that they (PINKS ALL-OUT)check for sandbaggers, that rules out my future project.....it's ALL about sandbagging.
