These were from the late 80's/early 90's at the Performance Ford Club of America events held at National Trail. I have more, but, I haven't got them scanned yet.

This was a 67 Mustang coupe with this bad ass 427 SOHC. The guys last name was Potts. I remember this car VIVIDLY! He was sideways twice, and still ran in the 9.80's! :D

Pretty cool pics !!! Aperacer and I went to a couple of those Perfomance Ford Club Expos at National Trail back in the late '80's. I think the car show/swap meet was at Ricart Ford and the racing over at Nat Trail.
Damn I'm old !!!

It had a 300 inch inline 6 right?
I do remember that one, but I don't think I ever got any pics of it.
I also found some old pics from the spring nationals.
I'll post them up after I get a chance to scan 'em.
They used to have the swap at Ricart's, then later, they started having it at the track if I remember correctly.

I think it was like $12 for tickets to the NHRA Spring Nats, plus $5 for a pit pass back then? :rockon:
