It's kinda neat how each of the manufactures approached and excecuted its drag cars.

COPO Parts are on the way... I've been told, they should be in the next catalog.

Jack, of all of the things that I've heard you called (and called you) over the years, "tease" isn't one of them.

Ed - Miss it ? You bet I do - that GTO was probably one of the best if not the best race car I've ever had - I was the biggest problem by not driving it to wins ............

Bo, not to get too off-topic, but unless something has changed, Pittsburgh doesn't have scales. For the IHRA Pro-Ams, they had the drive-on/drive-off temporary scales that weighed one axle at a time. Weigh the front tires, then weigh the back tires, and add them up to get weight.

I don't know what the air was when Jim B ran at PRP. I was working at Quaker City (two hours or so away) and it was overcast, cool (chilly, compared to most of the summer) with a pretty good breeze.
