Re: Thursday at Pomona
LMAO! I wondered how long it would take for someone to find the Calvert pass I downloaded! I also have the second pass recorded, I might put it up later today. 10.11 run. For anyone who cares, I also posted Alex's first pass on YouTube -
He is racing a 1969 Cobra Jet owned by brothers Earl and Kay Murakami of Lancaster, CA. Also, under the right side of the video, those of you with high-speed internet can view the video in high quality and it looks much nicer like that! Last edited by Beth Denysenko; 02-06-2009 at 12:15 PM. |

Re: Thursday at Pomona
Robert Ponds pass is amazing, i'd love to see what it'd do if he can hook in good sea level (or below) air.

Re: Thursday at Pomona
Bill
That's the problem! This is a KILLER car and makes all other in these classes obsolete! The question is???? How long will it take for NHRA to factor this car correctly?? Last edited by junior barns; 02-06-2009 at 05:06 PM. Reason: spelling |

Re: Thursday at Pomona
If they haven't factored a '67 Ford Fairlane correctly by now, don't expect it to happen any time soon.

It should be possible to extrapolate the air on Robert's second run since he was immediately in front of me in the right lane and the air was over 2400' when I returned to the trailer. Robert was about the third car behind John Irving's assault on the tree and I followed him. This is not the first time I've been mesmerized by the sight of that Fairlane's hood pointing straight toward the sky as he left the line. I get caught up watching his launch and neglect to start my burnout on time. No doubt about it, that's the best seat in the house when Mr. Pond leaves for a day's work. c |

Re: Thursday at Pomona
OOPS!!
My bad Bill. I thought I read in a post earlier that he and a partner had one of these cars. Great run and one fast Fairlane! "BUT" HIs fairlane will be obsolete along with the rest of these old combo's soon!! Last edited by junior barns; 02-06-2009 at 07:04 PM. Reason: add |
