COPO Pete Runs 11.96 at Gateway!
 

There were a lot of spectacular passes made at the Supercar Reunion today at Gateway, including a huge wheelstand from Ken Barnhardt's car, but the best for me was seeing COPO Pete make not one, but TWO 11.96 passes today following a 12 flat. Here are some pics of his first 11.96..

Way to go Pete, Congrats on the times and great to see you again.

Congrads Pete! I see that the run came with a half tenth slower 60 foot than your best. Looks to me that you might get in the 80's yet. Any report on a silver L-88 Corvette? I'm just wondering if Jim Johnson make the trip and laid down some ets? I wanted to make the event as a spectator but just got home yesterday.

Jim was here with the silver vette, not sure of his exact times but he was definitely running low to mid 11's. There was also a cool '63 409 with aluminum fenders and dual Carters, running low 12's and maybe one high eleven.

BTW, I just read in the new Hot Rod that someone went 10.99 on belted tires with a stock (appearing) '68-'69 427 Corvette. Holy shneikies!

The Canadians again are holding up the Bowtie banner when it comes to the PSMCDRs. CHEERS to that!!!!!!

The Blue FAST Corvette just had posted on the YEARONE board a 10.76 at 130mph this evening. It's the same car that is in the inside cover of MuscleCar Enth.
