Anyone done any land speed racing with their Mach or other Mustang. I want to run the Mach at a meet later in the year and wondered if there were any "have to dos" (excluding safety items) before attempting WOT high-speed runs. The track is at an old airport and is 1 1/2 miles long and 200 ft wide - no curves or turns. I plan on running in the stock class, which would allow top speeds in the 130 to 140 range.

A custom tune for the car is probably required because I have heard of some cars running lean from the factory. I would think I would want to run a tad on the rich side to keep the engine cool. Anything else?
