    Didn't a Camaro win Nationals too?
    Does anyone know what data went into the decision? I'm just curious what was looked at.

    Dennis,Dennis,Dennis This how nasty rumours get started. He was merely assisting in research to determine the flotational qualities and handling characteristics of the 92 Mustang over a period of 12 hours. Once the data is analyzed it will prove that the 92 Mustang is completely sea worthy unlike a certain SI drivers (DT) miata motor which is currently being prepped as a boat anchor.

    It's always the pilots fault! I just drive'em man, I don't know what makes them work. I should have anticipated total coolant loss from a hole in the radiator without indications. It still cranks, hopefully the head is ok. I loved the 92, how does one go about getting a Tito's sponsorship?

    Pretty funny that I make a comment giving props to Rob Who that he should be on the podium and it ends up like this. So much to comment on so I'll skip using the quotes.

    Rob-I placed 2nd at Cresson in 2013 so maybe it is a driver thing. I know Mosty believes race wins and fast laps matter but I have always been for on track data or as jander says 'telemetry'.

    Aaron-think my Camaro is decent enough now? Let's see if you can get in it and take it for a session at TWS. Just be careful as it cut pattersons head open.

    Tyler-yes a Camaro won nationals and the year before a mustang. I believe there were two mustangs who won it even before the rule changes as well. See below for the data.

    Sean-I agree with you. There have been several drivers who spent a lot of time on their cars and won regardless of platform. Now get that 5.3 going and start mixing it up with the trophy girls.

    Maybe Al could chime in like around the campfire. But from what was posted on the national forum the only data that was used was 1 race of Procter, 1 race of Alford, and 2 races of Mosty. Hopefully they used more data than from only two individual races at ECR.
    Michael-is this the data that was provided to the directors to make the rule change?

    I'll drive your car as long as it doesn't hurt me haha. Curious to see how fast they are at TWS. You have a data system in it?

    Which car is yours?

    Rob,
    First, that's GREAT news! Looking forward to seeing it in full livery at the track soon.

    Second, thanks for putting this back on track and away from a parity discussion.

    Yeah, but it's a Mustang and by default will be faster than any of the Camaros. Anybody know where to buy a good trophy case?


    Sorry, couldn't resist.

    You are twisting what's been said. It's a Mustang so it has the CAPABILITY of being faster than any of the Camaros. It's still mostly driver. You might be out of luck... :-)

    Great to hear about the car. Looking forward to seeing you back out there.

    Flotational qualities of a '92 Mustang. That things has so many holes in the floorboards, it looked like a geyser every time we hit a puddle. Or was that the '98? Hell I cant remember, I'm still drying out and watching mud and grass fall out from under it.
