ThunderCat day 2013 - July 6th! Reply #2 – April 04, 2013, 02:26:43 PM Good to hear.Hopefully I can make it this year. (unless my work schedule changes for the worst) I'm anxious to get the NHRA Stock Eliminator '86 Turbo Coupe I bought in Dec. on the dyno. Marty Buth set 9 national records (combined between IHRA and NHRA) with that car.I'll be trying for records # 10 and 11 for the car @ the NHRA National Open in Bowling Green, KY in late May.

I'd like to see another one of Marty's cars. I got to see his Mustang at Gateway last year with the TurboFord meet. Would you believe that with only adding a roll bar to Marty's T-Bird it can legally run NHRA Super Stock ? I couldn't believe it when I ran the numbers. Neat...so my plan for next year after I add the roll bar is to run SS in complete Stock Eliminator trim. What's even more shocking to me is that that TC has the original upper and lower 1986 rear control arms and quad shocks still on it.Also has stock front struts and springs. Wow...and it lifts the left front tire. Quote Selected
