Funny, I had one of those myself, extremely race prepped, 10 x 10 Dunlop's on all. Oh what stories I have. 1969-71

Everyone:

At the risk of appearing to support racing on our hallowed public thoroughfares, I share this anecdote which also involved a Mustang...

My favorite Mustang encounter occurred after we took a race-prepared MiniCooper S out of SCCA racing service and retired it to the street -- by installing a muffler.

It still had the full-race engine, 3" wide belts and harness, fat racing slicks...

And it was my daily driver.

Headed to work one morning a Mustang would not get off my tail. My usual exit from the highway way posted for 30 MPH. Since we were only cruising at about 70, I didn't bother to let up. He should have.

The last I saw of the Mustang, it was off the road, backwards, and headed for a bridge abutment. My racing slicks weren't any good in the rain, but OH MY! on dry pavement!

KIDS! DON'T STREET RACE! (Leave that for us grown-ups<G>.)
