Hi,
I'm not sure it's the driver, only one shift in an 1/8 mile. Mostly physics, the Comet has a longer back half, it's always been a popular drag car. There's a big battery out back and a stock steel bumper (fiberglass up front). Do you have sub-frame connectors? I've got a full roll cage which keeps that thing stiff.
Get the head gasket fixed and go at it again. We are done for the season here in the northeast.
Check out these Comets!
