History 64/65 Comets old drag cars lets see pictures

That car runs in England, I think.

Almost forgot, the Sportsman's BBQ on Friday night . Roy, do you know who to conttact to RSVP for that? I recall we walked over to it, and feasted last year!!

 

That looks to be a serious 64!!! Dale;NO RSVP needed for the BBQ,the Thomas clan have been throwing the Sportsman feedbag for a few years now!!!Roger;I'll wave to the camera as I blow past the Rocket[again]!!!! ROY.

 

The gold Comet is from the UK , His name is Jon Webster ..

If he is member ??

Hats off sir , awesome car (not that Roys is not cause it IS !! )

Yes,,

Ron Thomas and his father Dale put on the feed ..

They are an incredible family and will make you feel welcome 1000%

I love Bakersfield, so much fun so many great people

We will be there again next year ..write it in ink

 

PS

Ron has lost almost 200 lbs ..

 

That Comet looks great, have one on my mind I plan and hope to look that good on track! Do you know how fast and what pwr. plant it has?.....Al

 

After looking closer it appears it may have a Turbo under de hood! The way his hood is lifting he must be fast, the color is a great sleeper look too!......Al

This car was in the February issue of RPM magazine. It runs a Windsor style small block with a turbo. It is a very nice car.

I read in RPM Magazine it runs 7.70s at 177 mph efi'd turbo yates headed sm.block. He said,"he found the tune should run 7.50s this summer"......Al

 

Al;that 64 is QUICK,and FAST!!! I figured it had to be quick,the Funny Car Gage tipped it off!!!! ROY.

 

Roy

Thanks for all the Mags your sending, So far I dont have any of those. They are helping.

Good luck for you and all the guys going out to the MM. Lets see some trophys.

Wish I was going, Havent been to that one yet.

 

Ken;no problem on the old magazines,I figured they may help you or at least give you some ideas,or pictures to hang on the walls!!!! Thanks for posting that picture,it was shot at last years CHRR!! I look forward to meeting up with the :COLORADO GANG" again!!!Hopefully the Mercury and Ford gang will all pit together,will get some pictures!!! ROY.

 

Somebody is finally making a repo of the super rare 65 Cyclone hood. Except this one has functional ram air like the dual snorkle hood. He is in Louisville and the price is $650.00.The hood is patterned after the Crites hood...more info and pictures to follow...stay tuned...

 

These pictures are of the prototype and the casting is rough...contact Glenn at Kerns Auto Parts 502-454-6056.

 

That's way cool....

 

Makes people happy they didn't spend the $2850, on the original, on flea bay!!

 

About noon today I saw both Roy and Dale win the first round today on the streaming video that BangShift is showing. They only had one time trial and I think Roy had a new personal best of 10.31? I saw Dale in the first round come very close to getting in the 11's which I think is his goal?
Brian

 

I watched both races on bangshift today while in my shop. Not sure if they ran again as as my phone battery died. Also they where behind because of rain. I think Dales run was a 12.07. Back on at 8am tomorrow.
Roger

 

After an insane amount of waiting Roy broke out with a 10.38 on a 10.40 dial. Dale is still in with the Rocket. I did not catch the dial but I think it ran an 11.72. Brian

 

Dale ran a 11.72 and won as the other car red lighted. Unfortunately Roy brokeout 10.38 on a 10.40 dial in. Looked like a long day as the classes ran as hot rod waited. Next round for Dale will be monday.
Roger

 

Roy & Dale both lookin good at the March Meet.....Mike

 

Cool lookin car, not so cool price

I actually lasted a bit today! Ran an 11.61 (NO TYPO!) on a 11.66 dial, forcing my competitor to drive around me and break out. went into the next round with a tailwind, but track temps went up, dialed a 11.61, and ran a 11.665 !!!! Damn!!!! Went rour rounds at a national-type event, though! And! I'm ready for an 11.50 timeslip!!! WOW!!!!

 

Mike;sorry I missed your text message!! Looks like Roger,Brian and Dale filled in most of the blanks.After a solid day and a half of rain we finally got round one in around noon Saturday,second round was after the TF and FC finals,track was JUNK!!!I got WAY out of shape in round two[almost aborted],over ran first and second,finally caught my competitor at about 1100 feet but I broke out,10.382 on a 10.40 dial,.018 break out,OUCH!!! I think Dale may have had a better last round but he lost his alternator belt and ran on only his battery!! ROY.

 

Mike;WAY too much money!!! I think it is a Cyclone fake,the wheel trim looks like Caliente[shorter than Cyclone],the rocker trim is too low,the Cyclone DID NOT have the stainless trim by the side glass,may be a Caliente gave up it's body to rebuild a Cyclone!!Wrong hood,wrong front suspension,WAY TOO MUCH money!!!! ROY.
