I took this video of a rookie driver Al Anderson from Ontario in his '64 R2 Hawk .....he was so pumped after beating this Cougar....I thought it was his best race !

Thanks for posting The race against the Ford Cougar. I have to say that lining up the car, waiting for the staging lights and hitting the throddle is a heart pounding experience. Lots of Fun!Originally posted by 2R5 View Post
Here's the stats from the slip:
GT Hawk >>>> Cougar
R/T > .026 >>>> .106
60' > 2.400 >>>> 2.273
330' > 6.589 >>>> 6.535
1/8 > 10.002 >>>> 10.032
MPH > 72.34 >>>> 71.09
1000 > 12.936 >>>> 13.047
1/4 > 15.427 >>>> 15.590
MPH > 90.51 >>>> 88.93
It sure makes me think about building an 63 F Body or a HT just for events like this...Caroline's car might not get that driveline after all.

No problems what-so-ever. We woke up late check out of our hotel by 11:00 am, bought some VR1 oil and 2 wix filters, went for the Rooti-tutti-fruity pancakes at the IHOP, Checked out a craft show, bought some liquor, stopped for some gas, supper in Port Huron (Tried to keep up to the local Sheriff for 8 miles, who was showing us where to eat), and got home at 11:00 PM. Fantastic trip!Originally posted by 2R5 View Post1964 GT Hawk
