And that was John from BBT driving it, they wanted to check their numbers and I have no problem with that. Derrick has done to much for me, I couldn't take my car somewhere else.

Haha, thanks!
Well my first and only time at the track my best was a 13 flat @ 108.5 with a 1.8 60'. I have friends with mostly stock GT's hitting close to that so it's definitely not something to brag about, but once I get my 3.90's I'll make another pass or two.
Good luck man, it's really not that bad in all honesty.
If you don't mind me asking, how did they go about picking your car to get the build? And do those guys on the show actually do the build or is there a lot of behind the scenes stuff going on?

I'll pm you a little more in depth, don't feel right saying anything for or against them after all that went on, but here's the basics:
Been working at Eagle for a few years and when my boss heard I was shopping for new stang's, he asked if I would be interested in a new kit he was releasing. He advertises through Spike on the Powerblock, and shot his guy a call. They ran it by the board and we got the green light. I got the rules basically, shopped for a car for about 8 months that fit the guidelines and bought this baby. Put 2000 miles on her and she was gone.
I can say I'm really impressed with the younger guy Mike's knowledge of Mustang's. He was a really cool guy and I enjoyed getting to hang out with him a little. We ran into some problems with the build and they sat on it for a few months before we called them and said "We're coming to get it," they called back two hours later and said "It's on our car hauler we'll see you in the morning." That's when it got really fun for us because no one could figure out the knocking, including Roush and Ford engineers.. When we got the car it was in shambles, it didn't even have matching cams in it and none of the bolts were tight so thank God we didn't try to start it. My tuner Derrick Bailey tore it down, fixed it (some valves had gotten into pistons) and got it all back together. I was also forced to go from a stock bore to an .011 over bore to clean everything up. Ran great on the dyno then it started knocking again and after racking his brain he discovered a guy building cam lockouts out of his garage in Florida - 2 weeks later VOILA!
So all in all, my car was down a year and 1 day. It was frustrating but considering the amount of parts I didn't have to pay for, I would do it again in a heart beat. Basically, I'm a lucky SOB
When Mike first joined the show he was thier "import" guy. Then they let the large guy go. So Mike was a ricer to start with

He did race Mustangs for BBK though, so you have to give him a little credit! The big guy was the best by far though, never had the opportunity to meet him.

They do good work. Derrick and Dennis are friends of the family so when it came to this there wasn't really another choice in my mind. I get this all around town, I'm not going to debate over it, BBT is just who I went with.

Oh....Captain Chevelle. Ever wonder why there were so many Chevelle's on that damn show in the first few years????
Fatboy was the president of the National Chevelle Owners Association. And in person......he's a dick.
Oh, I'm not making a judgement at all, I was just explaining my Memphis connection.
