1971 Mustang Mach 1 Yellow gold
I have always been into drag racing but no longer. I am interested in learning road racing, and I am going to do it for fun. I am wanting to get yall's expert advice on prepping my Mustang. So far, I bought all new bearing kit, new 5-layer leaf springs as my car was sagging in the back, I bought the QA1 single adjustable shocks after researching, cost me 800$ for all 4, I bought a 1-inch front sway bar and a half inch rear sway bar. My wheels and tires are the stock size E70X14 wheels and tires. The only thing I can think of besides bigger wheels and tires is a monty carlo brace across the top of the engine compartment ( I would only put it on when i am on the track, subframe connectors but I thought they were more for drag racing. Anyone with road racing experience have any suggestions for me? BTW, I think it's great that some of you take the time to help enthusiasts like me on here. so Thank you all. Ive attached a photo that has my wheels and tires in it. It also has my sweet service puppy named Rhaenyra. But i was thinking buying Mag 500's and tires for them and just use them on the track
