Holding His Own

A short post this week as we didn’t have Yogi in the workshops. On Friday this week the boys came out to play for the Mustang Owners Club who had arranged the annual and private race day at Santa Pod. Yogi again got a couple more trophies for his collection with a best time of 11.2seconds for standing 1/4 mile on the day. Yogi thought there was more in the car, but yet again the traction issues from launch are still there. The weather was not kind and rain stopped play before he had the chance to try some different launch techniques. Well done Yogi.

We do have a video of his run against a modern Mustang. What would you rather have; a modern or a classic that can still hold its own on a drag strip some forty decades later?

Stay Safe & Take Care!

    Bit of an unfair question ! Talk about putting someone on the spot …
    My 2005 was brought over for Andy Carter, who, allegedly, was quite good at the drag stuff !! Not sure if he intended to use it though. He almost certainly would make a better job of it than me……

    • Thanks for the comment, have you tried our chat forum to ask the question? Somebody might know on there. Drag racing is a bit of a art form, as well as having a fast car.

        I’m sure forum folk would have an answer !
        Old one or a newer model ? Tricky question for me – I like them both !
        A drag watcher, not a doer. That can stay with the Pros., those who know what they’re doing !
