Well I did get to see Tim and his sweet Comet on Saturday but that was all the board members I ran into. It was HOT and Sticky on Saturday and I tripped the red light in the second round .492 The car ran great even in 94% humidly and 97 degree heat. I made a 10.21 pass at 130 MPH with a terrible 60 foot of 1.41 (track was greasy) but I enjoyed the ride. I did see some other Comets and Mavericks there and one was even a Comet sister to my Maverick (Pearl white). I finally got around to putting on the Grabber stripes and I think it makes the car look a lot better. Here is a pix (I hope) I only got the tire off the ground about 6 to 8 inches nowhere near my best of 12 to 16 inches. As soon As I can get a better pix of my car I’ll post it.

Picture Hey Terry It was good to see you Saturday. I posted a few Pics on the other thread. The one of your is first and I have it in bigger size . If you want I could e-mail it to you and cropped would make a good picture I think. Sure was hot and sticky Sat. Huh. Later Tim
Cool pic. Last Friday, Mercurycruizers and I were the only 2 Comets at the T&T (no Mav's). Our last run was side by side, too bad his motor quit! Woulda been more fun if we could have gotten more than 3 runs in 6 hours though.
