CAR NAME–YEAR & MODEL INFO

PSYCHOSTANG - 1995 MUSTANG GT

Since

IN THIS CLASS.

MEMBERS OF THE STANG MAG FAMILY ARE MORE PASSIONATE ABOUT FUN AND INCLUSION THAN THEY ARE THEIR CARS AND THAT SAYS A LOT!

Is our car called Psychostang because it’s so scary fast? Actually, it’s pretty slow and wears that name because it sometimes, at the drag strip, seems to do whatever it wants.

Cliff’s brother bought us the car for Christmas in 1999. It was a leased car in KY which is why it was bone stock. We enjoyed it as a cruise night car and later won a few awards at Mustang Club of America National shows.

We have also participated in cross-country cruises with the Great American Pony Drive. We’ve made friends with Pony Drivers from Ontario to Texas and Alaska to Florida, plus England, Austrailia, and New Zealand.

After a couple of “fun trips” to a local dragstrip, I decided I wanted to try the National Mustang Racers Association True Street class after attending a couple of their events as a spec- tator. Since my first win in the 15 second bracket in 2005, I have amassed a total of 21 wins in this class.

If you asked me if I thought I’d be writing an article for STANG Magazine for my car this time last year I would’ve said no. If you asked me if I would be writing it about a different car than the 2005 Roush Mustang I had I would’ve said hell no. I loved that car but acquiring this one reinvigorated my passion for car shows and events!

I met Daniel Ramey at a Beltway Mustang show and won my spot with STANG Magazine in their Carlisle Ford Nationals display. Needless to say I wasn’t sure what to expect being that I didn’t know the people attending and was going by myself.

The car has had mods made to the suspension, transmission, rear end, and exhaust, but most of the engine is still stock. I’ve made over 500 passes down the drag strip with no breakage of any kind. Elapsed times in the mid to high 14 second range at 94 mph isn’t pulse pounding performance, but it’s nice that, on a retirement budget, a stock car is hard to break while having fun. I race on Saturdays and my husband races the same car on Sunday in Bracket 3.

The STANG Mag family welcomed me in from the very start and made me feel like one of their own!

Members of the STANG Mag family are more passionate about fun and inclusion than they are their cars and that says a lot! I can’t wait to see what’s to come in 2022!
