Hi Al, that would be Chris & Boris, I travelled with Chris with Drag Week over here, they work for one of the biggest Magazines here Street Machine, they sent some pics back of your Comet too, it might make the magazine here, if it does I will send a copy your way. John

Chris and Boris were really easy to visit with. I actually ran into Chris a few times and talked. When I came off the stage and looked into the crowd, Chris was there near the front row. Let me know and I will get you funds for a few, I have friends that already ask if I would get them one. Thank You ...............Al

Al, Chris is a real nice guy & takes some great pics, the next issue should be out in a few weeks, I will check out if your in it & pick up a few copies for you & your friends, the current issue has a good pic of mine racing at the Australian Drag Nationals & the issue before had a small pic of mine on the cover & coverage of drag week, so I am used to buying multiple copies!! I will ask Chris what pics he got & see if I can get some pics for you too if you like. I wish I could see your car in person, I bet its even better than the pics. John
