Looks like a shakedown run. Have a bunch of other pics from the same day. I’m digging the big ‘Performance Engineering’ sign on the back.

The 1974 Maverick in the Shop…
This is how I picture my Dad. Makin’ sure that things are going just the way he wants. He’s the guy on the left. Great shot of the Maverick at the 32081 Schoolcraft shop.
Gapp and Roush – 1973 Pinto
1975 NHRA National Event winners – Pro Stock
This is the list of the NHRA National events for 1975. In particular 1st and 2nd place in Pro Stock.
This is the same list of results from NHRA.com except that the this list is in order from top to bottom (i.e. the first event of the year is first rather than NHRA’s listing which is last event first).
The source for this list is here.

The 1972 Gapp & Roush development car
From the files: The 1972 Pinto which was used to test the Pro Stock small block theory.
This is the only picture that I have seen of this car in the Gapp & Roush paint.
Quaker State and the ‘Super Cat’…”Look what ‘The Cat’ dragged in – 4 big wins.
Looks like Quaker State got involved with the Super Cat…

From the inside of the 1973 United States Racing Team program.
Rodder and Super Stock – September 73
Thought I would change it up a bit. This is the cover of the September 1973 issue of Rodder and Super Stock. In it there is a article about the work that Gapp & Roush have done with their 351’s to get them to run.
It’s a fun cover in general. At some point I’ll post the article as well.
Boss 429 Mustang – The jaws are open
I can’t let April 29th (4/29) pass without a post about the Boss 429 Mustang now can I?
Shot of the front of the Mustang flopper.
1967 Cougar Super Cat – View of the tilt forward front end and the 427 SOHC
GREAT view of the work on the front end of the car plus the 427 SOHC ‘Cammer’.
The intake seen here on the 427 was later used on the ’69 Boss 429 Mustang…with a bit of work.
