OK,who has ran thier car at the track?no BS lets see some time slips

This is great stuff!! I'm glad to hear COPO Pete races his cars. That is what they are made for.

I'm going to direct my buddy (Buick guy) to this thread for some interesting reading. I can not wait to the Pure Stock Drags next year. COPO Pete, PLEASE dismantle some Buicks for me!!!

Mike:

Just curious...does your "friend" frequent the Buick GSCA site? If so, he has probably ran across Pete and I there.

As far as Pete dismantling (sp?) some Buicks...unfortunately, comparing the Buicks to Petes cars is like comparing apples to oranges. While Pete does more than his share of clock cleaning at the PSMCDR, those Buicks seem to abide by a different set of rules. Those Buicks at the top of the heap are built for the "Stock Appearing" class at the GS Nats, which is a WHOLE OTHER ball game compared to the majority of the cars at the PSMCDR! Pete's going to certify his cars this year...but where are the Buicks?

But, like I said above, Pete does more than his share of "dismantling"!

I'll be glad to try to dismantle any one of them...as long as they get certified.
Randy Miller was not asked to not bring his Yenko back. Dan did suggest that his kind of car was not the type of car they were trying to attract. His NHRA cam was a little on the lumpy side and his mufflers were a little loud. Randy, being the gentleman he is, decided on his own not to bring the Camaro and bring the LS-6 instead.It was dropped after that. No name calling, no tempers, just "ok. if thats what you want". A true gentleman, just like all supercar owners eh!

Thanks for the info, Pete. I went back and checked some of my emails from Dan a while back, and he said something about the kind of mufflers they would rather have, and he stated some examples. I kind of figured it must not have been too big of a deal, as Randy was back next year with that SWEET LS-6 (hasn't he owned it since new?) and he spoke real highly of the event. I wish he had been there last year...must have been busy at work or something.

Ditto on the Buick certification thing...but I wouldn't hold your breath .

[MikeA]

I'm not sure if he visits the GSCA site or not. We have this Chevy vs Buick debate everytime MCR prints the Pure Stock Drag issue. He claims "his" Buicks are "stock" and we argue about that all the time.

We finally decided that a if certified stock Chevy goes againist a certified Buick that the results may end the debate. However, It is my opinion that there will not be too many certified GSs and GSXs there.

Pete, I agree as long as they get certified.

Pete;
I believe Neal will not bring his '68 L89 car back, Brewer's 'stock appearing' car kind of puts a damper on things.

As for Randy's car, you are correct. Pure Stock noticed the front springs, mufflers, cheetah shifter, cam, and his 12.0 times at the NMCA events and made some suggestions towards bringing the LS6 car. Randy's a cool guy, and lucky for him has a rare car set up for each event! It was cool to see the HO COPO a/t and the HO Yenko a/t go down the track, I videotaped it.

M:

So, any chance of me FINALLY meeting you in person this year...like at the Reunion or the PSMCDR? Will Neal be bringing anything to PSMCDR? I think I met him n '99(?), but I didn't realize who it was until AFTER the event, and you said something about his car! Wish I would have known!!

Pete:

Seems like I remember you saying you WOULD NOT be in Ohio this year? I have thought about going IF we have the Camaro back together, but I would rather support Bob/Dan's event FULLY, as it was kind of his "brainchild" in the first place. I guess I will see you at certification, though! What day will you be there?
