Are COPO's, CJ's and Drag Packs good for our sport?

A great thing for Drag Racing. Only weak link is like carb/charger/turbo cars should be in separate classes. Cannot judge Supercharged versus carb versus injected any more than old Injected motors versus carb motors....

Good point..

Over the next few years it will get sorted out...

Like the Turbo Buick V6's.

Which still impress !

I have to say it was very refreshing to see all the new cars at Indy battling it out and everyone so happy to be there doing it.

My next goal is to get more involved with the other brands, hint, hint.

David, does that hint hint mean you have the desire to flog a Cobra Jet ? If I remember you might have mentioned it sometime in past.

someone brought a dark colored COPO to the local car show in Franklin Square by my house yesterday. I was getting chinese food and I heard the most beautiful thunder,,,,,,
went out to see this. Got a lot of attention. No track on Long Island.

Was this driven to a cruise night or trailered to a show?

It would be easy to add the Charger if the other thing gets the feet it deserves. And the Southern Hot Rod, is that the New Orleans Southern Hot Rod. We have a customer with a Challenger, 426, 4L Whipple, makes 900 at the rear wheels. Course you can't hardlly drive the thing. Will spin the tires at 80. A/C still cold, nice stereo, and that is a major change from the old 426 cars.

It was trailered in.
glad people got to see it. Fans and future ones need to see these new cars.
I was there as they were getting ready to put it back in trailer. Don't know who it was.
