History 64/65 Comets old drag cars lets see pictures

They won't help you catch me though!!!!! ROY.

 

Roy, We will be coming down to the reunion this month. Will stop by and help empty Yer cooler. I just finished up putting a new front spring shock assembly and tower mod, and a 5 Speed liberty In Gonias Fairlane. Were hopin to break the 8s down there. See Ya soon Fed

 

FEDER;look forward to seeing you guys!!!I'll be there Thursday AM! ROY.

 

Dale,so this means you won't be needing your Cragars any longer?
Myron_

 

Myron;Dale has not had Cragars on his 64 for quite a while!!!The "Rocket Man" is a Rocket wheel user now!! His Comet is still a pooch,needs to spend time getting a tune up in place!!!! ROY.

 

Cool! Jim has had way to many problems with that G Force. I bet he and the car will really like the Liberty. Wish I could come down. Brian

 

I thought by mothballing the Cragars, it would shed enough weight to chase ol' Baby Blue and his three pedal screamer ! Truth be known (Roy- turn away from the screen now) I actually help Roy get lower ET's, as since I'm behind , I actually push a wall of air in front of me, that nudges him along. Thats a buddy helping his buddy!! HA !!! Roy- I'll take that beer now !!



Even more truthfully, you guys read all this banter between Roy and I, but you cannot be out on the road with a greater man, who always has your back !!!

 

GOOD GRIEF,I guess I do owe you at least one beer!! What happened to the videos from the "ROCKET" at the speedway?Any word from Super Todd on being at CHRR?Somebody has to give Ernie some competition!!!!! ROY.

 

AAAAA Hello:
I finally got mine running (YEAH!!!) after 2 3/4 years.... I rebuilt the motor and went to a Nash 5-speed.. I want to run 10.90s with a single four barrel....
.

 

SIX GUN;sounds like a plan!Same engine,just freshened? ROY.

 

Yes/NO:
Same crank, pistons, cam and head, new block, and rods, but still a 6cyl...
The last time out it went 11.14@118 with the four barrel...

 

Could he (Todd) be showing up with new parts?........Al

 

Al;I think if Todd does show at CHRR,the top end and fuel injection will be different.He has his old heads and intake for sale over on the FORD FE FORUM.I hear he went 5.98 in testing on an 1/8th mile track!! ROY.

 

SIX GUN;you are REAL close to that 10 second pass! Which block do you use? I know you mentioned it before but what does the car weigh? Does the new engine seem any different? ROY.

 

Yes, I think he will be there to give the guys some stiff competition. Just talked with him today, I think with you, me Todd, Godsey, and one other, we should make for a good Comet line-up again !! The new Rocket fronts came today, they are quite nice, a bit stout, at 17 pounds, but will look the part in every way. Can you tell I'm a happy camper??

 

I'm amazed you are about to break into the 10's with that six banger. You get huge respect from me!!!!

 

65COMET:
It's a 300 truck block, car weighs 2800# with me in it, seems to revvvv pretty good, the 5-speed should help...

teddisnoke:
It has gone 10.90s@121 with 55mm side draft Webers, but I think that Holman/Moody intake is coooool....

 

SIX GUN;what head are you running?Is there a common plenum on the intake?I thought you had been in the tens before,forgot about the side draft Webers!Somehow I thought the Comet was lighter. ROY.

 

That should = 9.30s he has it Rock-N-......Al

Nice looking wheels Rocket Man.....Al

 

The head is stock type that was ported/polished by Jerry Arnold (a comp guy), the Holman/Moody has a common plenum, the Webers are IR.... The car it self weighs 2550# do the math (I'm no supermodel!?!?!) LOL...

 

Both me and my car- - - - need to go on a diet....

 

Those wheels look like the original Radirs!

 

They are close.The rocket has a flatter spoke across the top.But,are waaay more economical than Radirs!!

 

I just don't know why it would not hook up???.....Listen at the end for Chris Whitney's FE- powered NHRA Fairlane wagon. It bounced to 9 grand on the launch. CRAZy!!!!!!!!

This should work .

 

Dale;quit screwing around and get the ROCKET ready for CHRR,you only have about 7-8 days before SHOWTIME!!!! ROY.

 

Sounds mean Dale...!
Hope you ate your Wheaties,cause that blue car is a wheel danglin' sumbitch...!lol!
Seriously though,I wish I could get out there sometime and see you and Roy make some passes...A couple of badass Comets!
