I'm afraid that many were just investors that never had racing intentions.
The Drag Pak and Cobra Jet are no different. You really don't see a lot of those cars racing compared to how many were built. The manufacturer has no control of where a car goes once they sell it. Heck, I have a Drag Pak that has hardly seen the light of day!

This is also the first full season for the COPO. You have to keep in mind that the deliveries didn't start until late last year. Not a lot of time to dial in a new combination. I think you will see a lot more racing as the year goes on.
