Re: Pure Stock drags Sept 16-17
Yes, Congrats to Dan and Bob for yet another outstanding event. I let my oldest son (22) drive my COPO for the week-end. Ran a best of 11.64 @ over 120 mph! He was pumped. Quite a bit different than running 13.5's with a Monte Carlo. Last three rounds, he stayed calm and cool and pulled off a .00 reaction time, a .04 and then a .02 reaction time. I'd say he was quite comfortable in the seat!
Owen ran the 1970 COPO LT-1 Nova and nailed a new best for the car with a 12.73 @ 109.89. The boy can shift!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Proud day for the old man! Peter

Re: Pure Stock drags Sept 16-17
I guess he was taking it easy on me when he passed me at 1000' after I put a hole shot on him! 12.73---- That is screamin!
