[COPO PETE]

Been watching this post for dayz!!!!! I can hardly find time to catch up on the reading. I feel there is a place in this world for both types. I know some people think I'm out of my mind racing my cars, especially when they see them in person. Some just can't believe it, and that's OK. There is a place for the museum cars, and I don't hold a grudge against those that do that. Some limp off the trailer, and that's fine too. Everyone is differnet. For those that race em occationally [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img] For those that just show them [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img] If I just paid someone $60,000+ to restore, I would likely not want to race them either. It's your car, and you should do what your comfortable with. I hav'nt had my original cars to the track in a couple of years. I did have my orange car out Friday night, and had to take it to 6 grand a couple of times.... just to make it happy to be out! That is why I built up my white COPO car....to have some fun, and see how fast I could really get it to go. Some think I'm nuts, and some have a lot of respect for me. Just don't look down on me, cause I'm liking it and it keeps bringing up the COPO name in these pure stock drag races. Just trying to keep the spirit alive.

These guys know what a 69 Camaro is, and want one, and I think that is important for the future of the hobby!
