Weekends in mid-October aren’t supposed to be cold in southern Virginia, but that was the case at this year’s Super Stang Fest, which was held at Virginia International Raceway, more commonly known as VIR. Even so, some hardy souls made it out to the fabled race track to enjoy the car show and on-track theatrics of some high horsepower Mustangs kicking up their heels.inline_mediumwraptextrightMM&FF associate editor Pete Epple laid the smack down as he blew past this Vette on one of the long straight ways at the 3.27 mile natural terrain road course at VIR.31410147/events/mmfp_1003_2009_super_stang_fest_virginia_international_racewaymmfp_1003_01+2009_super_stang_fest+virginia_international_raceway.jpgTrue

“Cold air is more dense and carries more oxygen molecules,” was the response Justin Burcham of JPC Racing blurted out when we asked about his reasoning for adding the new JPC Racing air-to-water intercooler to many of his high-horsepower, forced-induction customer cars. The modification is a simple solution to an increasing problem that Burcham realized while racing his popular ‘05 Mustang GT in MM&FF/NMRA True Street competition.

When the first modular motor-powered Mustang rolled off the assembly line and on to dealership lots in 1996, it had the same great looks, but the standard V-8 was a Two-Valve mod motor displacing 4.6L. The popular and successful 5.0L pushrod engine made way for a more complex engine with overhead cams, delicate short-blocks, and a new computer system.

The words “fast” and “Mercury” are not commonly used in the same context. Or at least they haven’t been since the NASCAR Cyclones of the late ’60s. Most MM&FF readers don’t remember those cars, or like your author, weren’t even born yet. In fact, you’re more likely to relate a Mercury to your grandparents driving to the grocery store or bingo, than to a powerful beast screaming down the dragstrip.

Los Angeles is most commonly known for its movie stars and beaches, but it also has a dark side consisting of gangs and riots. So it goes without saying, being an officer for the LAPD is not a job for the meek or mild. Officer Ricardo Lizarraga was a well-liked and respected police officer for the LAPD. On February 20, 2004, Officer Lizarraga and his partner responded to a domestic disturbance. While at the residence, a man pulled out a gun and opened fire. Officer “Lizzy” Lizarraga was struck in the abdomen and later died from the wound.
