Muscle Palooza VII. pics

Went to Muscle Palooza VII at Lebanon Valley Dragway in NY yesterday. There were a couple of Mavs and a Comet. Heres what I saw:




Comet ran mid to high 12s but was dialed in at mid 14s. Not sure how that happens.

Then there was the "Mad Frenchman".
High 10's with a 303" straight 6. That was awesome. It was enough to make you six!








Here are a few videos, but I ran out of memory before it ran.

I suspect shenanigans.
No way a Poncho could take a Comet unless the race was rigged.

 

Brings back some old memories, I rode over there many times from '69 to '73 or so before moving south... Thanks for bring it back!

The Mad Frenchman has been around for a while. neat car.

Look at the window of the Pontiac. It runs 14.50 and the Comet is dialed at 13.00, so the Pontiac gets a 1 1/2 second head start.

 

Thanks, Feel free to use any you like in the gallery, I remember a while back discussing the feasibility of putting a 300" straight six in a Mav, I couldnt locate any pictures. I thought the Mad Frenchman was one of the coolest cars there. As far as I know it was the only straight six running. There was a neon running 16 - 17 sec, that wasnt even worth mentioning. lol.

 

Thanks for the pic's! Mad Frenchman was on racingjunk,, They really did a nice job on that car!
