A couple of tough Barra’s came down to get a few runs, unfortunately and as things go with racing and when you are putting down big power it’s either going to stick and go or it’s going to throw a curveball and quickly bring forward the next set of upgrades! In this case we saw a bit of both!

Chris’s super sleeper spec RX7 was back at the track at the recent Private Hire to see if they could chip away at those ET’s even further!

Great to see this thing out again, it just goes to show how much more of an accomplishment the quick times this car has laid down (in having to row the gears all the way down the track) are… As easy as it could be to go for a run of the mill auto trans in place of the T56 – this being a true stick street car is all the more entertaining to watch it go fast!

You might recognise the name, and possibly even that it’s another Pisconeri Mustang if you’ve been around our channel for a while…. The Pisconeri’s are Ford through and through with Ben Pisconeri’s 7 second SOHC powered 1968 Radial Drag Car Mustang also featuring numerous times on our channel.

This time we jumped in with Peter in his Historic Touring Car for the June 13th Race Day, the Mustang is owned and built for the sole purpose of being the fastest car it can be around our local circuit tracks.

Previously Peter raced his XW GS Falcon Street Car which dominated both at the drag strip and on the circuits – winning numerous races.

The plan for the Mustang was to build an even better track car with all the learnings Pete took from racing the Falcon, we’re pretty sure he has exceeded this goal with the Mustang already showing race winning form as Pete learns the car and makes improvements after each race day to make it even faster for the next time the car hits the track!

I can personally say that some of the fastest cars I’ve ever been in were owned and driven by Pete, and that he definitely played a part in my love for all things cars and racing. Our childhood was spent watching Pete race drag cars down at Ravenswood (before the Motorplex was even a thing!).

Being able to watch Pete now be as successful as he is in a different discipline of motorsport is a true testament to his expertise both on the track and at his workshop down in Waroona (Mainline Motors) where he Specialises in building some of the toughest Ford Motors in the country (and has done for over 30 years!).

We hope you enjoy this one, there are no fancy computers at play – this is all car and all driver with Pete happily winding out the unreal sounding 302 to 7500rpm and leaving the Big 351’s in his trail!

Keep in mind this is car is over 50 years old and in the spirit of Historic Touring Cars is not much different to how the car would have been back when they raced around the country in various top level motorsport categories!

Build Specs:

Car Year/Model – Mustang 68
Engine – 302ci
Heads – World Products 5303
Rotating Assembly – Stock Bore/Stroke, Steel Internally Balanced Crank, Steel Conrods, JE Pistons
Camshaft – Custom Grind

The Chevy Z71 Silverado is not something you would usually expect to see out on track, but given it has come from the Reaper Performance Diesel stables it was probably something worth taking notice of!

With a 69mm Borgwarner Turbo, 4″ Exhaust, an Intake and Tune it lays down a healthy 1431nm of torque and upwards of 500hp – More than enough to get out of its own way!

The times may seem pretty run of the mill, but when you realise this car is likely to weigh in excess of 6000lb – it really puts things into perspective.

Running on 35″ Muddies and back with a 6 speed trans, the boys had some fun making a few hits in the big girl.
