Steve Matusek was looking to make a change, some kind of change. The NHRA's decision to elevate the Pro Modified division to professional status made his choice easy.
“We had looked at the ADRL and while we have a neat and pretty fast package, it just didn’t fit,” Matusek explained. “You just couldn’t make a big enough engine to compete with those cars. Now that everything has fallen into place with the NHRA, we decided it was time to step forward and build a new car.”
Matusek, owner of Aeromotive fuel systems and a Competition eliminator racer, sold his potent BB/AT Cobra Mustang to racer John Mihovetz, another turbocharged Comp eliminator driver who recently crashed his own Mercury Cougar.
