What were the holes cut in the apron for? Header tubes I presume??

Roush cut them away to clear the turbo manifolds and down pipes in the back. He used factory pieces, flipped them upside down, the welded turbo mounts on them. Worked great, but required much more room than headers.

I haven't gotten anyone to come forward with any real info on the car. From what little I've read (who knows whats true and whats not), Joe ran Lisk and beat him the first time, then Lisk won the next one. I don't know if they ever ran after the turbos were added, since if the mustang could have been managed/driven, it should have been capable of high 8's with that kind of HP.

It still amazes me that the little Mustang ran as fast as it did considering how mild the engine build was originally. It really wasn't anything radical and the car's setup was basic, nothing fancy. Thats how Wayne built the car though.

Sorry Dicky, didn't mean to alleviate from the heading. I was asked for some pics, so offered them up.

The best street racing stories were written by legendary auto journalist Tony DeFeo of Cars Illustrated fame. You can still find him over at the H.A.M.B. under the name &quot;WhitePunkOnNitro&quot;.

I remember reading that article in one of my sister's old boyfriend's mags that he gave me.

I never did find out, but it always seemed that The Brotherhood never got their strip, right?

Whatever happened to that whole deal and Big Willie? I remember a couple articles about his Daytona, I believe, but never heard the whole story.

I was in high school at the time and happened to pick up that copy of Car Craft in the school library and that story has been locked in my memory ever since.

There's some pretty cool info on Steve Lisk's Challenger floating around the web with pictures of it still in great shape today being freshened up. I wonder what happened to Scott Browns Camaro?

That was a cool article. Thanks for filling in some of the info that I couldn't remember.
