Going Racing this Weekend w/ Comet

Few more pics. I painted my new Champion radiator black to look stock. The radiator fits and works great, especially for the price.

 

Cool Eric, Nice straight little car. I can see why you probably dont want to put a rollbar in it, (interior). What basic motor set-up are you running? if you go further with the car, go with a 8-point Rollbar and some Cal-Trac bars and you will be stylin!
Regards.

Thanks Al. The car has a little 331 stroker. I've been running the motor for over 3 years now. It used to be in my Maverick (in my signature). I just built the Comet so that I'd have something to race with while I finish my Maverick upgrade. I probably won't do much more to the Comet cause I need to focus on the Maverick now, but a roll bar will be first on my list. I'm hoping for 1200 HP and high 8's in the quarter with the Maverick on DOT slicks.

 

very impressive.....CONGRATS!!!!

 

Cool deal! I like the look of the little comet.

 

That Maverick I'd like to see. We need pics!
Regards.

I'd like to see the Maverick also as I've already seen it before. Let me know when you're going to be in Az. again and we'll see what we can do about coming out and seeing you run it. BTW, nice Comet.

 

I ended up making it to the 4th round. I got to run it all out in the 2nd round and ended up going 11.45 at 120mph, ooops. I love that little Comet!

 

Good try!!!!

 

Hey Erick, Good Job!!! It was really nice to meet you and your folks. Nice run with the 11.45. Not too shabby . BenC

Here's a pic of my 1st run ever on the car before I tuned the chassis...scary to drive like this!
