Click Here to View Kelley's Run How often do you find the car you've been looking to buy driving right in front of you? Probably never, but that's how Jim Richards of Virginia Beach found his '00 Mustang GT.
Once Jim finally had the Mustang he wanted, money came slow for the mods. When he saw that there were naturally aspirated Two-Valves running 11s, he decided that was the way to go. With help from Sean Kelley at MAS Racing Development (below) and Kimnach Motorsports, Jim is almost to his goal of 11s or better.
