Re: Are COPO's, CJ's and Drag Packs good for our sport?
I was parked next to a 2012 Mustang CobraJet SS car at E-Town....
I met the owner and his crew and also worked on the car a little on Sunday when they had some trouble.
The owner is a very accomplished and successful business man and those business's were all aftermarket automotive products most any car guy has bought and used. We could hardly have raced without most of them. The man has quite a life story and he shared some of it with me and I was very impressed.....and he also is and was always a huge supporter of the Sportsman racers in general..
This was my first hands on experience with one of these cars and trust me when I say they are pretty awesome in looks and build quality and the performance out on the racetrack. I have also seen a COPO up close and personal and up on a lift.......Nice...
The Mustang drew a lot of attention is all I can say and a lot of people took pictures and really seemed to be attracted to it especially on Sunday......
Although I lost early in S/C on Saturday.......... overall I enjoyed the heck out of meeting the owner and working on his car a little and the race was a great one to me because of it....
It definitely is a good thing that these cars are out there for the added shot of enthusiasm they bring.
I love '69 Camaro's......Always have....always will....but we need to see something new and adjust as needed to make it work....
