RogerUmmm, i guess i saw this a bit late eh? I was certainly there, and will be going to the Port Alberni drags next Sunday too.  As you saw my car ran awful, spinning the tires ("tars" for our Southern folks here)mostly and running real slow.  A tire spinning 10.05 Sunday morning and that misfiring 10.06 on Saturday afternoon was all it did...no 9's. Oh well eh.  Was it warm enough for you?

"twas great meeting Roger over there at the drags. I had a great time, busy taking hundreds of pictures and didn't get enough time to talk... but it sure made an awful start to the weekend turn out OK. I looked at the 64 Comet, good parts, V8 stick,toploader still in it, rear quarters and floor are awful,i left him a note. Tom

Glad you guys had a good time.If you got a pic of Dave's 70 mustang convert I would like to see it.
I had a great time being a racer instead of a fan
