I hear you, Mike,, but I seem to remember an article in Super Stock & Drag Illustrated many years ago, where team Jenkins had the '69 car up on jackstands, swapping out the stick box and converting to an automatic during a race.. I don't recall if it was Indy or perhaps the World Finals(Dallas?), but something happened that made them do the swap,, so it isn't an unprecedented thing. I'm sure some old timer can set me straight on this.
This new COPO is certainly impressive,, I'm hoping it gets mentioned on the TV coverage, or perhaps a Best Appearing award this weekend.
