NRC Completes Sleek New Four-Eye Fox For Small-Block N/T Racing

By Andrew Wolf May 30, 2019


California racer Joe Pelayo, a member of the world famous AV Boys street racing squad, is set to join the fledgling small-block no-time ranks on the East coast in a stunning new four-eye Fox body Mustang fresh out of the NRC Motorsports shop in Aiken, South Carolina.

The Marina Del Ray, California native, citing both a loss of interest in street racing and a desire to get involved in the red-hot no-time world on the other end of the country, tabbed NRC to construct the car last year, and the project was finally completed and fired for the first time this week.



“I have some background in racing, primarily street racing. My friends and I, the AV boys, race in and around California. But I realized I couldn’t continue on doing this, being out until 5 a.m. …it’s just not going to cut it for me. I was the first one of the group to venture away from street racing and into grudge racing. But it was mainly just with street cars…like 9-second cars with nitrous or small street blowers,” Joe notes.

“I was amused with what they had back East, and I started watching videos of all the big grudge races and I really liked what I saw,” he continues. “You get the same excitement as on the street, but it’s controlled — we’re not arguing until 5 in the morning and then nothing happening and having to show up for work in the morning. So I decided that was the direction I wanted to go.”
