• Lightning  has been doing quite well. We went out first round in the NMRA's 3rd race of the season, however, we should still be holding 4th in points.
  

• Lightning gets long tube headers and midpipes. The sound is unbelievable!

• The Beefcake Lightning wins NMRA Georgia! This was our first national win and it was awesome!

• Lightnings new best of 12.49!

• Made my first trip to the track with the new Lightning. Ran a best of  13.25 with an average of 13.33 over 3 runs. Not too bad for a 5000 lb. brick going down the track!

• I received and installed the PSP Filter Kit today. Much improved airflow and look over the stock airbox!

• I received a deposit on the cobra yesterday. It has been sold. Sad day. On a side note, we had the PSP Factory Tech Shift Kit installed today. The 1-2 shift gives some serious rubber, and all the shifting is much improved!

• Visited the NMRA World Finals in Bowling Green, KY. We picked up a Johnny Lightning Lower Pulley and a Johnny Lightning Diablo Chip. JL helped do the install and was awesome to talk with.
• Sticker Dude Designs added  the Business Logos to the Lightning today also.

• Today, Frontier Nutrition took delivery of it's new project vehicle. A 2001 Ford F-150 Lightning!

• NMRA Points update. After the Columbus, OH NMRA race, I have moved up in points. I am now ranked 26 out of 59 competitors! Look for that # to drop considerably after the next NMRA race!

• Attended the 2001 Modular Shootout this weekend due to unbelieveable amouts of rain, the show had a small turnout, none the less, the Cobra made an awesome showing, running an all time best ET of 10.51! That was with 1.4 tenths off the cars best 60' ever! Once the 60' times are back down, look for very very low tens. I expect to run a 9 before the year is out!

• TBR Sponsor was a main sponsor the the 2001 modular shootout this year. I finally got to meet George the owner. Quality guy with quality stuff for our cars! George has really delved into the stang market the past year and has done a wonderful job. Many thanks!

• Team Beefcake Racing Ultimate Bulletin Board upgrades to version 6.04! Be sure to bookmark the new address!

• Spent the weekend at National Trail Raceway in Columbus, OH for My 2nd NMRA race of the season. Still driving the GT Convertible, I went out first round against Barry Shephard. It was a close race, 6 hundreths of a second. I tree'd Barry by 8 thousanths of a second! Going to fast though I hit the breaks at the end of the track, just a little too much though. Next Race!

• Points Update! After only making 1 of the first 2 NMRA races, I am currently ranked 30th out of 51 Mod Motor Registrants! Keep in mind, #20 has the same amount of points. In the case of a tie, the faster et takes the higher position. So, once the Cobra returns running low 10's! Look for my rank to move up considerably!

• The 99 Cobra section of the site has been almost completely revised. All mods to date have been listed except maybe a few I missed.  I am hoping to see the car back in 3 weeks or so. Trying to get it ready for the modular shootout June 2-3rd!

• Spent the weekend in Reynolds, GA at Silver Dollar Raceway. I attended the 1st Annual Ford Nationals there. It was the 2nd NMRA race of the season. I was unable to attend the 1st race of the year. (New baby), LOL. I qualified 33rd out of 36 cars. BTW, I was driving the new GT Vert because I am having some more work done on the Cobra. On Sunday, I faired ok, I won my first race against Steve Baumgartner. He redlighted on the run. On the second run, I was up against good ol James Hensler. I tree'd him good, .504 to .598, but I went too fast and broke out costing me the race. Allin all, a very good weekend and a good time. I drove home 9hrs with the topdown and roasted my head, but it felt great. Very happy for the nice weatherto finally be here. Congrats out to Bob Cosby from the corral. He broke theFactory Stock record this weekend. Also many thanks to my Dedpedal crew,Ian & Jeff.

• Well, the car went back to Alternative Auto today. I am doing what I call my "Final Round" of Mods. When I get the car back I plan on putting out in the neighborhood of  750hp and 650 ft/lbs of torque!

• We decided to bump the timing in the Cobra and run full Turbo Blue. Because of the impending failure of the head gaskets, the car was spraying antifreeze all over the place. Even with 1/10th off our 60' from last week and letting off for 2/10ths in 3rd gear because of antifreeze under the tire, we still ran a 10.82@130.39 mph! The 60' was a 1.67. If we get back downto the 60's we saw at Norwalk last year, with the head gaskets fixed, thecar should run 10.40's possibly 10.30's!

• Voted In as an official member of Dedpedal Racing! Many thanks to Kevin, Ian, and Jeff

• Beefcake Cobra runs a 10.81@129.08 mph! Check out the videos section for the run!
