| FE's at the local drags |

Just had to let you fellow FEnatics know that there were three great running Ford-Edsels at the local drag strip on Saturday evening.
I'm located in the Northwest, Eastern WA state, Spokane. You'd probably look at the map and think there wouldn't be much FE interest here. You'd be wrong.
I'll be brief. Along with the multitudes of GM power, 5.0's, imports(A really fast Mitsubishi Evo - 11.7! and a true streeter) there were three great running FE cars:
A beautiful metallic red '67 Cougar turning a 10.85/130 mph! I didn't have a chance to look this car over much. I've never seen it before. Hope to see it again and have a close look at his equipment.
A fabulous black '68 Cougar with built 428 running low 11's/120's. I've seen this car before and it's very nicely built.
A Bullit look alike! I talked a lot with this guy. He approached me as my sons and I were having fun racing our '06 GT. He asked me some questions and mentioned he had trailered his '68 Mustang over from Libby Montana. I said the dark green one with Bullit plates. He humbly said yes. What a gorgeous car and it was totally streetable too but he felt it best to trailer is since it's quite a long drive from Libby to here. It was a factory -S- code built with a 428 crank/overbore to yield something over 410, sorry I can't remember. Factory 4 speed, headers, iron C8AE 390GT heads, aluminum intake. Nothing fancy. All systems including PS/alternator hooked up. Under the hood the car looked close to stock. He had some nice traction bars that looked similar to Cal Tracs. He ran well into the low 12's with a tremendous launch technique. Good power shifter. Excellent '68!
No big block 385 series running on this night. There's generally one running.
We had us some fun.
