Last Weekend at The Nostalgia Fall Classic at Brainerd Motorsports Park in Ringgold, GA, DragCoverage photographer Cole Thomas had the opportunity to do a feature on Mike Johnson’s 1963 Mercury Comet named “Cometkaze” and Man.. this thing is rowdy and full of character!!
After his shoot, he sat sat down with Mike and gathered some info about the car.
