Here are the guys I go racing with. I put these in order of e.t. so if they don't like where they're at on the page, they can always go faster. I figured it was the only fair way to do it.

7point5inafox's 1985 Ford Mustang Beaver Falls, PA - 639.81 @ 134 mph from a solid roller cammed 408W. This pic was taken @ the '04 Norwalk FFW. At the time it was running consistent 10.70's with a best of 10.69 @ 125 mph with a 351W. He took the '05 season off to do a tub job and 4-link set up for more traction and tunabilty. He ended up adding a new scoop along with stretching the rear wheelwells. He also got a new ATI converter, transbrake and lightweight k-member/a-arm set up. His best in '06 was 10.49 @ 127. Steve lost the bottom of the 351W and had to build the 408 in about 3 days just before FFW '07. His first pass on Friday was a 10.07 and he was at the 9.86 by Saturday night. The motor was back out over the winter to do some port work on the heads, which were just bolted on in the haste to get to Fun Ford. Check out his '57 Ford below.
Steve Chevalier's '78 Fairmont

 7point5inafox's 1985 Ford Mustang Beaver Falls, PA - 29510.06 @ 135 mph I should have a pic taken on the track very soon. This '68 Camaro has a blown 427 smallblock with AFR heads and a World Products block. He installed a much larger solid roller with the 2 cylinder firing order change. He picked up almost 3 tenths with that change down to a 10.20 in the quarter. That is quite an improvement and a very streetable piece. He broke the front pump in the TH350 at the Cruzin' Few Car Club's Day at the Drag's so he was down for a couple months. It now has a freshened trans, lower 1-2 gear set and a new 8" Hughes converter. He runs it on slicks but through the mufflers. This car was for sale next to my grandparent's place in the early 80's. When I met Eddie some 10 years later he was telling me where he bought it from. I had almost had bought it before him. It was a complete car but needed A LOT of work. I ended up buying a '67 that I still have that I thought was nicer. Turned out it needed A LOT of work also and I didn't end up with the hideaway light Rally Sport package. I also didn't end up with a supercharger.                                                                                                      

Eddie Yorns Jr. '68 Camaro RS

7point5inafox's 1985 Ford Mustang Beaver Falls, PA - 6610.09 @ 131.2 mph It has a 466 with Brodix alum heads and monster solid roller cam. The first night out after the overhaul he ran a 10.13, which I thought was very impressive. He did all the work on this car himself. He ended up taking the '07 and '08 seasons off. Hopefully he'll be heading for the 9's when he gets back at it. He's still close enough to try and get the #2 spot back. I'll post some in-progress pics of his cool Studebaker project. It will have some sort of a big inch Chevy, hopefully blown, a TH400 and narrowed 9-inch.

7point5inafox's 1985 Ford Mustang Beaver Falls, PA - 1510.95 @ 124.4 mph is where I sneak in at the moment.  "Big Ed" will probably pass me this year since he as the N2O ready to go. August 10th we were at Quaker City for the Cruzin' Few Car Club's Day at the Drag's and he ran an 11.23 with the smallest jets in the kit.

7point5inafox's 1985 Ford Mustang Beaver Falls, PA - 6211.00s @ 119 mph from a well built 351W. Very street driveable. Exceptional PPG paint job as well, this one was done by Jim Brooks, also from Beaver Falls. To help the looks of the car he just changed the roofskin to eliminate the sunroof and changed the hood. He also installed a UPR adj rear suspension w/anti-roll bar and an AJE front k-member. Maybe those will help him get some 10.90's.
Bruce Campbell's '90 Mustang

7point5inafox's 1985 Ford Mustang Beaver Falls, PA - 27311.23 @ 119 mphThis is the '70 Monte Carlo belonging to Eddie's dad, "Big Ed". It has a 502 BBC in it. It started as the 440 hp crate motor but some porting, a monster solid roller and a tunnel ram improved that a lot. It's gotten a roll cage, N2O and a Currie 9" rear over the past two winters. He is only spraying 75hp into it so far so I'm sure he'll beat my 10.95 before the year is out. It is street driven and weighs over 4000#'s.
Ed Yorns Sr. '70 Monte Carlo

7point5inafox's 1985 Ford Mustang Beaver Falls, PA - 16311.73 @ 113 mph Kurt just got this nice looking coupe done in '07. It's another 351W. He also got his best pass at FFW in Norwalk in '07. More PPG paint on this one.
Kurt Cooper's Mustang

7point5inafox's 1985 Ford Mustang Beaver Falls, PA - 16111.91 @ 117 mph This is Bruce's other Mustang. He installed a centrifigual supercharger and some other bolt ons. He also had it tuned up by his friend that owns Full Throttle Kustoms out of Bedford, Ohio. They are also a sponsor at Summit Motorsport Park. He ran in the True Street class at the '07 and '08 Fun Ford Weekends in Norwalk.
Bruce Campbell's '07 Mustang GT

7point5inafox's 1985 Ford Mustang Beaver Falls, PA - 29211.93 @ 111.5 mphThis is my brother's cool looking '85 GMC pickup. It has a warmed over 455 Olds and a 700R4 trans. A Crown Vic rack front was added to improve handling and lighten the front. A Ford 9" rear with 3.50's and Crown Vic rear discs was added this summer. It should be running mid 11's once the new Precision converter is installed. Check out more pics on his temporary web page.
Lorne and Sondra Senior's '85 GMC Pick Up

7point5inafox's 1985 Ford Mustang Beaver Falls, PA - 16212.60's @ 109 mphThis is Barb Chevalier's '68 Mustang. This pic was taken at the '07 Norwalk FFW. Street driven and raced everywhere. It has aluminum headed 351W and hyd cam. I sold her my BFG Drag Radials when they wouldn't hook after 3 passes and she loves them. She got about 3" of daylight under the left front tire last year at the Fun Ford Weekend! Like her son, Steve, she is also quite the racer and taken home money numerous times. This car has been done a long time and still looks great. More PPG paint on this one.
Barb Chevalier's '68 Mustang Fastback

7point5inafox's 1985 Ford Mustang Beaver Falls, PA - 29312.85 @ 105 mphThis is the only real turbo car I've ever ridden in. I'm really impressed what you can do with a 6-cylinder, especially in this heavy of a car. I believe it has over 120,000 miles on it and that the motor nor trans have never been apart. It rides great, gets decent mileage and until the boost starts to build you can hardly hear it run. It definitely doesn't sound like a 12-second car. He changed the color from the original dark red poly to black right after he bought it. After 11 years the PPG DAU urethane paint still looks great. How cool is it that I go racing with my insurance guy? I'm sure my rates are priced right because he knows I would never drive at excessive speed or anything. As long as I don't try to make a claim at the track I think I'll be ok.
Rob Tracy's '86 Buick T-Type

7point5inafox's 1985 Ford Mustang Beaver Falls, PA - 6412.90's @ 108 mph from 351W. It's also street driven and raced everywhere. He just put some aluminum heads and Victor intake on it hoping to lower the et some. I think it was mainly to beat his wife's Mustang fastback. Another great looking PPG paint job that he did. He just passed away this fall. The Fun Ford Weekends just won't be the same.

7point5inafox's 1985 Ford Mustang Beaver Falls, PA - 228Here is another one of my friend's with a multi-year, aka decade, project. It is a factory RS convertible with the original 327. He did an awesome job on the restoration. My brother did the body and paint work. It's the orignal red color mixed in PPG's DBC basecoat and has DCU2021 clear on top. It's rumored to be getting a 200R4 overdrive trans in the near future. It has been selected for the 2009 Snap-on Tools calendar. He deserves it both for how the car turned out and that he's invested a small fortune in all of his Snap-on tools. He's owned it since high school, 25+ years, and ran 14.60's back in the day before the restoration began. I've got to find a way to show more pics of this thing. It is incredible.

7point5inafox's 1985 Ford Mustang Beaver Falls, PA - 230

Bill's brother Bob owned this '69 Camaro SS/RS. He bought this in the mid-90's for $1600 for a future project and he decided to sell it. It is all original except for trans. A previous owner put in an automatic instead of the 3-speed manual it came with. At least the pedals are there for a 4-speed. I wanted to buy this thing so bad I can't stand it but it would just go on my pile of future projects that I may never finish. It is an original air cond car with a 295hp 350. It's a typical Florida car. The topside needs help but the underneath looks very solid. He put this on Ebay in July and sold it for over $11,000 as is. If I thought I could have bought it for $5,000 I may have tried to swing it somehow but that is just crazy money I think. The one cool thing is it was sold to a guy about 10 miles from here that appears to be a collector and not a car flipper so I may get to see it done someday.

7point5inafox's 1985 Ford Mustang Beaver Falls, PA - 73428CJ with a C6 and a narrowed 9" with 4.11's. It also has rack and pinion steering. The GM Black Sapphire paint job, PPG of course, is beautiful. This is his street car but I'm sure we'll get some 1/4 mile times on it sooner or later. This was originally John's car that he gave to Steve when they made the Fairmont into a full time race car. John tubbed and painted it at his shop when he owned J & S Auto Body. J & S is responsible for redoing all 4 of the Chevalier owned vehicles on this page. Steve is building a '57 T-Bird for his wife that will have a 5.0L with Weber style electronic fuel injection. He called for some primer recommendations the other day so it must be coming along. I'll post pics when I get them.  
Steve Chevalier's '57 Ford

Here's some pics of the guys I've met online:

7point5inafox's 1985 Ford Mustang Beaver Falls, PA - 6510.90's from 466 BBF with aluminum CJ heads. The motor ran 11.70's in a T-Bird before he put the solid roller in it. I believe he still has roll bar to install this winter. I see Mark every year at the Fun Ford Weekend in Norwalk, unfortunately without the car. Hopefully he will be running mid 10's with it next year.
Mark Miller's '89 Mustang

7point5inafox's 1985 Ford Mustang Beaver Falls, PA - 74

Mike's another guy I know from the Corral and BBF forums. Great looking car too. Check out his website. This car has undergone MAJOR changes since these pics were taken. He also owns the nicest "shed" I've ever seen.

7point5inafox's 1985 Ford Mustang Beaver Falls, PA - 149

This is Mike's Procharged 472 BBF for the Fastback. He also has a Tremec 5-speed for it. He had to make the serpentine belts brackets, too. He just got the motor back from where it buried the 650 hp dyno it was on. Once he gets it on a higher capacity chassis dyno he's optimistic for 750-800 hp/torque!

7point5inafox's 1985 Ford Mustang Beaver Falls, PA - 75

This one fine looking sleeper! Dallas is from Canada. This car has a homemade efi unit using 2 Explorer 4.0L throttle bodies, along with Neon coil packs an a Crown Vic EDIS ign system(no distributor!) It is fired with a Megasquirt computer that he is very happy with. It has run low 11's even with a 3.08 gear, driven to and from the track of course.
