Hey Bob Frey, how high would that be on your COOL-O-METER????

I am NOT a fan of 4 wide Drag Racing, but that combo would be OFF the Cool Charts.

Carguy29,
I know a young guy that just put a 428 Tri-Power in a 67' Firebird that belongs to his Dad...The car sat for quite a few years and he wanted to fix it back up and get it running so his Dad could drive it again.....

The 428 Cobra-jets are cool too.

Yes they are, and I'm certain my racing buds Dennis Alvey, Brian Pott, Rusty Hall, and Richie Pauley (amongst many others), would strongly agree with you!!!!

Especially the Boss 429 Mustang, not to downplay the other 429s. Let's not forget the 429 Cadillac, also.

This sounds like a story of Dad and Mom doing a great job of raising kids and then son doing this for Dad. Kudos to both the parents and son, a feel good story for sure.

Here's one I'm glad I got to see.
1965 or 66, Connecticut Dragway , late Fall..
Four A/FX type cars booked in for a series of match races..
Bill Flynn's 65 Dodge, Malcolm Durham's Chevelle, Sox and Martin in the Gate City Motors 65 hardtop car, and Lawton /Tasca , Mystery Nine Mustang.

It got late in the day and was getting dark, so the state policeman , who was required to be on duty during all motorsports events in Ct., called an end to the racing.
Frank Maratta, always a promoter, negotiated a four car wide hole shot contest.
The track moved all the timing equipment and what-not out of the way, and Frank himself, stood down there at about a hundred yards, to call the winner!
The Tasca Mustang, which was the smallest car, was on the tower side, the farthest away from the main grandstand. Sure enough , it was called the winner, but was hard to see by most there.

Sadly , all four of the participants have gone on to their just rewards, but they provided a memorable moment that day, for those who were lucky enough to be there.
