Burcham’s prancing pony – No one will ever be able to accuse Justin Burcham of being unfamiliar with any part of his car.

We have seen nearly every piece of the drive train lying on the ground outside of and around the vehicle so far this week. Burcham’s 2005 Mustang is pushing the limits of research and development.

“I’ve stumped Ford’s tech line a couple of times,” Burcham said. “If you can build it, Burcham can break it. This isn’t my first rodeo and we run this car very hard, so we have gotten used to wrenching on it.”

They have certainly wrenched on it this week. At KCIR the crew had to replace the front crank seal, no small feat on the 4.6 liter, three valve, modular Ford motor.

At Bowling Green they had major issues with the shifter and transmission. That prevented them from making a clean pass and their average suffered for it.

Today they have pulled it apart once again and put a brand new transmission in the car. With less than 15 minutes left to make a pass, the team was still at it.

The team staged the car with less than 5 minutes remaining and ran a blistering and team-best 10.61 at 130.03 mph.It was very nice to see a team that works so hard really step up their performance.
