Default Re: COPO Chevelle?

Canuck; If I won the lottery and could retire tomorrow, I'd dedicate all my time to the Canadian Motorsports Hall of Fame. I was there this winter when it was at the CNE grounds and was very disappointed. I'm a Drag Racing collector, and there was very little there on the sport in Canada. Two of the biggest Canadian CHEVY drag racer's from the 60's weren't even mentioned in the museum or their book. Attached are photos of Lance Hill (Toronto) and Buck Kinney from Vancouver. These guys ran the and won with bowtie cars when both Ford and Mopar in Canada were heavily financing their own teams (John Phillipps Titanic Ford Team and John Petrie's Mopar High Performance Clinic). Lance Hill was teamed up with Dick Arons (Booth-Arons Fame)and was a corespondent for Wheelspin News and National Dragster. These were both 396 cars. Both photos from Wheelspin. ...............Bill
