Project Phoenix is our Bondurant Racing School car project in Mustang Enthusiast Magazine.  After taking a month off of the pages of the magazine the 1999 Cobra from Bondurant will begin a long run of consecutive stories starting next month.

We have set up the series already in ME with a rundown on Bondurant's special Mustangs and some information on this particular car, the #55 car.  The first step in our build was a feature on Bob Lauer of L & B Engine Developement and the engine that he built for us.  We saw a step by step process in assembly for the 4.6L 4 Valve Aluminator engine provided in part by Ford Racing.

Roush Mustangs invaded the high speed playground of Carolina Motorsports Park the first Friday of May, 2009.  The occasion was part of the annual get together of Roush Mustangs at Roush Racing HQ in NASCARTown, NC.

This time they added a track event to the three day party that included a car show and banquet.  

It seemed like a good idea to get these high performance Mustangs someplace to let the ponies run a little and stretch their legs.  As you might expect there was a nice turnout.

Barber Motorsports Park was overflowing with Mustangs.  I personally have never seen so many Mustangs.  At one point I looked up and saw a sea of raised Mustang hoods.  That's really all I could see at that point.  It was wild.  There were FR500S Mustang Challenge race cars and historic racers.  There were 2010 Mustangs that people were seeing for the first time in person and 1964 Mustangs that we have all seen our entire lives.

We brought the 1995 Cobra R Steeda Race car.  We ran all day Thursday during the events open track sessions.  On Sunday we lined up for a Cobra R Exhibition race. 

Our series featuring our 1999 SVT Cobra Bondurant School car has started in Mustang Enthusiast Magazine.
