One race lease lol

Re: Fletcher/COPO
 

It's quite common in the car sales business to put a car out for a weekend test drive with a promising prospect. Who knows, he just might like it and sign the deal papers on Monday.

Does it have a dealer plate on it?

Re: Fletcher/COPO
 

He got beat HEADS UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! by a car over 40 years old.Think he will sign the papers and buy it anyways?

Re: Fletcher/COPO
 

According to the announcer I was listening to on the audiocast, Dan was driving the COPO owned by Dave Bridgewater. The car that beat him was also owned by Mr.Bridgewater.

Anyone know what Dan had for lunch ? LMAO

Re: Fletcher/COPO
 

Wow, that says a lot... about todays NHRA. It used to be that was what it was about...

Re: Fletcher/COPO
 

Yep Dick, NHRA has stock in Kiwi.....it's a shoe polish festivus!

Re: Fletcher/COPO
 

^^ lol

Re: Fletcher/COPO
 

Fletch can't pay the bills with class wallys. If they meet in elims, might be a different behind the scenes deal.....

Re: Fletcher/COPO
 

I know Chevy wants to make money by selling the COPO's, and good for them, but if anyone deserved to get a COPO based on winning races in a Camaro, it's Dan.

Re: Fletcher/COPO
 

Putting one in the winner circle at a/or major event(s) would surely suit GM and Dan is a good bet to do just that.

It's like peanut butter & jam…Fletcher & COPO another combination that would work. But again in a NHRA "Factory Muscle Class" to help promote new car sales and crowd attention...MB.

Re: Fletcher/COPO
 

I'm not sure that Fletcher cares to dial-in race much with EFI. Contrary to the popular belief, they are pretty darn tricky to make them as consistent as carb cars.

Are you on drugs??

Re: Fletcher/COPO
 

I just remember Fletch with the efi firebird several years back and in talking to him, he wasn't a fan of the efi. I'm pretty certain Peter Biondo has also noted in the past (when we could monitor everyones runs through I-card) the consistency advantage of a carb over efi in stock. Another big time racer who chooses to race a carb. But hey, what do I know, maybe someone slipped me some drugs without me knowing.

Re: Fletcher/COPO
 

yea ok.

Re: Fletcher/COPO
 

Another friendly racer is correct, when I had my fuel injected pos (as my friend Bernie C and I affectionately referred to it), I never really got along with it. That's why we pulled my old Camaro out of the barn and made it into a stocker. But lets face it, that was then and this is now. I'm no genius, but the whole efi deal has come a long ways since then. Bridgewater's COPO was badass! The only thing that messed me up was my own poor evaluation of the tail wind's effect on a swoopy hot rod Sunday am.

I was feeling pretty good about the COPO's chances, and I actually thought I might be the lucky recipient of Pete's *** kicking in the final. Thanks again to Big Dave for the opportunity!

Re: Fletcher/COPO
 

I have run both, and if the EFI is tuned correctly, there is no difference.

Re: Fletcher/COPO
 

Hi Dan. I have a 37 Olds to run if you have time.
