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.
