COMET CENTRAL

Weekend before last went to the memorial for James Barillaro. He owns two of the Chrisman comets. His sons own a shop in Knoxville and put on a memorial asking everyone to bring their cars. Great turnout with the highlight they fired up the Comets. Not many memorials have nitro fumes!

Pics I took:

Yes, that was Ryan. That shop made the z-bar for his car. We met the couple with the black Cyclone. They are very interested in coming to the Gathering. Come to find out she recognized me and we rode the school bus together when I was in elementary school. And found out her husband is the son of one of my barbers when I was a kid. Small world!

Yeah, I like that black Cyclone....especially his wheels.
