COOL CARS!!

 

Thanks Muttley. I dig your Comet as well!

 

Mike,Thanks for posting those pics. Nice group of cars!

 

Great Photos Thanks for sharing......How fast was Ken?.....Al

 

Ken had a 9.70 on his window,I think he went faster in qualifying!!He will tell you the 'Tree Was Slow' as to why he went red!!!!Some nice looking Comets in those pictures!!! ROY.

 

Thanks Roy thats close to his 9.65 in PA........Al

 

I think Ken went a 9.61 at over 141. I know he ran a new best Saturday. There was a problem with the clocks which delayed the start time and we all only got one qualifier then right into eliminations. I would have liked to see Ken get more runs at Cecil. I know he would have went even faster if he did.

Very nice looking 404 2 door sedan,you do not see many of those tricked out!!!! ROY

 

I gotta believe he's considering or planning wheelie bars......

 

Don't need no stinkin wheelie bars,bumper is a good three inches up and it is going straight!!!!!! ROY.

 

Roy you have such a positive attitude! That had to have hurt something when it arrived back on all fours, the car has very little ground clearance......Al

 

Al;normally if you keep the power on,the landing is almost undetectable[soft]!!!Spoken by a person with WAAAAAAAY too much wheelie experience!!!! ROY.

 

thanks for posting Mike, Glad we could hang out, wish that was a two day event I was just getting warmed up. That track was so fast , I was a little disappointed that the tree was so slow. I was Ready , The car was ready, that tree was sleeping, Working out bugs as we go. Next Race York 30 Nostalgic Nationals Be There, sorry stole that from Jim Amos

 

Gary, please contact me.

 

Ken;that picture is awesome!! I like how it is shaded,almost looks like a painting!! ROY.

 

Just arrived home from T-Bolt and Fairlane 50th Anniversary! Great time here are some Comet photos that were there. Weiller Comet is first 64' Hubert Platt and myself & Ken Godsey with me...

 

KOOL photos Ken,now where are the rest?!!!!!! ROY.

 

I posted more on Thunderbolt thread, don't know where to post the newer and older than 64 fairlanes. I guess I could email to you

 

Man this brings back memories. I had one in yellow and could never listen to the radio with the fiberglass hood allowing radio interference something awful. I tried everything, condensers, carbon wires, grounding the screen door mesh molded on the bottom of the hood above the hood bracing, even had some ham radio buddies look into it and nobody could ever fix it.

 

Looking for any info or pics on a 64 Comet raced on the east coast in 1964/1965 sponsored by Manchester Mercury in South Richmond Virginia. Driven at some point by Lloyd Talley of Richmond and connected somehow to Dan Weis, founder of Richmond Dragway. Any help would be appreciated. I am told the car was red.

 

Al,thanks for putting up some pics.Looks like a decent Comet turnout.I'm surprised they let the Mercs in!.....Sorry I couldn't make it. Am in Ca. for vacation. Leaving Yosemite for Monterey tommorrow.
