Dave, What could NHRA possibly have thrown together, so as to try to have something compelling for the fans to get excited about (NOT!!!).

My friends at Hancock & Lane Racing (Div 6 Sportsman) recently contracted with GM to build the first eCOPO all electric Camaro drag car. This car was revealed at SEMA and will have exhibition runs at the Winternationals in two weeks.
They tested last weekend at Phoenix and ran a 10.08......at not full power

As a result of of building this "concept" eCOPO, Lane would up with a NEW 2018 427 COPO Camaro which he will race in Stock Eliminator (I think). Pretty sure this BLACK (painted) gas COPO spent time at Richard Freeman's Shop...but I dont know the details.

If this web site had usable resizng software I would post pics..............

I would love to see an ECopo run in Factory stock. Can you imagine the torque that car has!

NHRA has to do something fast as the ship is sinking in prostock.

They are running mountain motor prostocks at a few races this year.

Bring the scoop back!! They need to make the cars tuneable again and make them look like a

real car and the driver must drive more.

Richard Freeman has allot going on at his shop and all the other things that company does.

Del Worsham is back at Kalitta motorsports as a tunner and co crew cheif.

And...what happen here?

Lots of shake ups at NHRA but, nothing that would bring more fans to the stands.

Good luck with your team this year and the new Copo!

Dave
