Re: Golf & Drag Racing
He was talking about it in his champion interview.
The full question and his response from the USGA transcript:
Q. Kenny, after you and Michael took divergent paths after Hole No. 13, I asked him what the conversation turned to, and he said he started talking to you about some hot new car you have coming in. You want to tell us about that?
KENNY PERRY: GM makes what they call a COPO Camaro. This is a factory drag race car. You can't even license it for the road, and it's made from GM. They only made 69 of them last year and 67 of them this year.
I actually knew the right people to where I could get my hands on one, where I could buy one. So I got to go up there next week and pick it up. I love to drag race. I got a lot of real fast cars. I like to go 200 miles an hour in a quarter of a mile. It's very thrilling.
It's so different from golf. This is slow pace. And when you're in a race car running that hard, it scares the life out of you, but I like it. I like speed. So that's kind of what I like to do.
