Looking to Spank some DPA Racing 302 COPO
So since Charlie has Daren Poole-Adams distracted trying to join the GPA client list I will slip this in here tonight.
We had some lively exchanges last year about his 302 COPO with a the same 350 NHRA Horsepower rating hanging with my Cobra-Jet Mustang. I disagreed. Life got in the way last year but the time has come to lay out a plan to get this done. NMRA/NMCA May 4-7 Madison Illinois Best out of 3 on Saturday. I have arranged it with Rollie at NMCA. Let's Rock!

Re: Looking to Spank some DPA Racing 302 COPO
Anybody know where the cheapest place to buy lead is?
I guess I'll need new spark plugs too....

Old wheel weights at your local tire store. Then you might want to cook them down and skim off the steel. Then pour them up in a mold, my favorite is the old cast iron cornbread muffin pans. The pan that makes the part look like an ear of corn is way kool.

Sorry to tell you all this but now most wheel weights are now made of zinc. Some states have already outlawed the stuff. Hoard what you can. Happy new year. Tom

Re: Looking to Spank some DPA Racing 302 COPO
I call 100% BS on this one!!!
I know DPA fairly well and I have met Mr. Lawrence on a couple of occasions, both top notch gents. If ya gonna for real do it……do it an NHRA event, with tear down for both, if ya got it where it counts!!!! Believe me….this is not a NHRA promotion, but then nobody has any rights to the bitchin’ and complainin’ that is done incessantly on this here forum!!! With that, I leave it to these here 2 fellas and Mr. Yo Ken to continue this here “rumble in the jungle”. Out!
