Re: Random Comet pics!!
Boss;those pictures are of my friend,Tim Oneal's 64 at this years March Meet,he runs C/GAS,9.60 index.The Comet runs a centrifugal blown 393W,full interior all steel car,will run 9.40s.He takes full blame for the crash,the car got loose,he thought he was straight and stabbed the throttle and lost it.He was OK,just mad at himself as it was only qualifying.The Comet is repairable,the fenders,bumper and grill-headlights got destroyed,he has it all apart,has found a few parts and with the help of alot of other Comet freaks and friends will be back.There is a video on the H.A.M.B. website,go to 64-65 Comets about page 32 or so. ROY.
