Just like the old days,,except for the part "loaded them up" used to be "went for pizza and got loaded!"
Too much fun!
(Did Dale have a problem with his gas pedal?) 64's usually Kick Butt!

65s ROCK!!! His problem is the "ROCKET" has a slush box!!!!! It was all for fun,Car Craft was doing a photo shoot of The Rosedale Rocket,and Dale thought it would be cool to have the two Comets in some side by side action!! Roger,thanks for posting the link.Fred;we used to do that too,but I had a LONG drive home towing the Comet so I needed to stay sharp[like a bowling ball] to handle the LA freaks!!! ROY.
