The most historically significant car in the 422
stable is the Norristown Ford "Thunderbolt." Originally campaigned
by
Rich LaMont, Larry Bloomer and Dick Gehris, the "Bolt" is
the 73rd T-bolt built by Ford in 1964. The car was restored
in the 1990's
and has been run in Nostalgia Super Stock since then. The awesome car of
the 60's continues to please
crowds everywhere it
runs. Minor 2006 engine upgrades have pushed the "Bolt" to
9.62 @ 141.30 assuring it's
status as the Worlds Fastest Original Thunderbolt. We are anxiously awaiting the new '08
engine.

INQUIRIES
Complete Vehicle, includes spare C-4
transmission.
Originally located in Texas as a fairly solid example
of a 63 1/2 Galaxie, this car was constructed from the ground
up by team fabricator
"Dink" Bishop. The Galaxie's trademark launch with wheels in
the air is well known in the
Nostalgia
Superstock ranks. This car has
raced at numerous tracks east of the Mississippi and is a crowd pleaser
wherever
it races. This car has been campaigned by 422 team driver Frank Pellegrini for many years. Since
Frank has
started to drive the "Dearborn
Thunder" Falcon, the Galaxie is used primarily as a back-up car.
Best ever ET for the Galaxie is 9.57 at 137
mph.
This team car is a Nicholson authorized clone of
Dyno Don's 1964 Comet.
As many of you know, "Dyno" was a
great friend of the 422
Motorsports
team. After being raced for many years by "Fast" Fred Henderson, the Comet
was
totally rebuilt in
early 2005. The car in now owned by "Dangerous" Dave
Powers, and driven by Ed Youmans .
Powered by one
of Rich LaMont's Shelby aluminum "FE" motors using Hilborn injection this car
has found its
way to an 8.81 @ 153 and the team looks for more big numbers to be posted
in the future. E-Z Ed has driven
this car
to the NSCA championship runner-up spot twice!
After running on a limited basis with the fabled 427
SOHC "cammer", the "Dearborn Thunder"
'65 Falcon has been
fitted with a new Rich LaMont built Shelby aluminum 427 engine. Backed by
a Jericho 4-speed and shifted by the
capable
hands of Frank Pellegrini, the
car ran a best of 8.41 @ 159
mph. This earns the title of "Worlds
Fastest Nostalgia
Super Stocker." The team knows that this car still holds plenty of untapped potential and we
fully expect consistent
record breaking performances
in 2008.
An interesting addition to the 422 Motorsports stable is
another officially authorized clone, this one being of
Dyno
Don Nicholson's 1964 Comet wagon. This car was
also refered to as the Ugly Duckling. Owned
by "The
Flyin' Hawaiian" Bill Asamura
and driven by Jay Zolko the car has clicked off an
8.82 at 152 MPH.
As
the car is
tweaked further we expect even more incredible time slips will
be added to Jays Portfolio. Jays driving
talent
has earned him the NSCA points championship with this car, his
next challenge will be the All Star Shootout.
The lone Mopar out of the 422 Motorsports stable is a
1964 Plymouth Belvedere. The car is a clone of Jack Werst's
"Fast" Fred Henderson has
come out in his long awaited clone of his own
'64 Thunderbolt
SHAZAM.
In typical Fred style no half passes, on his maiden voyage, he recorded a 10.19 @ 132.
Fred has since
recorded a
