Notes: Sid Foster was a Ford guy. He had always run Fords and he made a splash in Funny Car racing by driving Larry Coleman's "Super Ford" Torino. It was one of the first five FC's to top 200 mph and it was always a strong runner. In '70, he teamed with his brother Gerald on a Mustang that he ran until the end of the season before it was sold. After that, he dropped out of racing for a complete year before he returned in '72 with this Mustang. His earlier efforts all used SOHC Ford motors for power, but he knew you couldn't beat the 426 Hemi for reliable power. So, the new car used a 484 version of the Hemi. A Moldex 1/2" stroker crank got him the cubes. M/T rods held Forgedtrue pistons. The cam came from Crower. Cragar supplied both the blower drive and manifold. An Enderle injection unit sat on top of the GMC 6/71. The power got to the 4.88 rear by a Lenco two-speed. Early runs were in the 6.70s at 215. Sid missed both the AHRA and the NHRA Winternationals due to sickness, but Bobby Rowe drove the car at those events. |
