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.

What is the shipping weight of the new COPO's? The DragPak is 3,200; the CobraJet is betwen 2,980 and 3,280, depending on engine; the 2010 Camaro (376 cid motor) is listed at 3,780 or 3,849, depending on transmission type. How much lighter are the race-only COPO's?
