    Wayne;go to You Tube,type in CHRR 2011,there are two videos of my Comet,one is from a Qualifying p*** against Dale Snoke,the other is of my three runs!! We run an A/FX cl*** out here,as the promoters only use one cl*** designation.On the East Coast and Central US circuits they run Nostalgia Super Stock and A/FX is a cl*** designation a****st their rules.I do not think you would be legal to run as I believe Fords have to run a FE based engine,no small blocks or 385 series combos. ROY.
