Got an email from Schony this evening of a really cool picture with a time slip attached! It's a picture of Jon Cronkleton's Deuce doin' it's thing at the track. Not sure when this was taken (Schony?) but that's a pretty salty time for a small block!

I know some of the members here have uncovered time slips while digging through their cars...come on fellas, post 'em!

So, Schony, in what state of tune was this car when it ran the 12.9@106? Probably wouldn't take much more than slicks/headers, if that much.

Just talked to Jon, that picture was taken in about 81, or 82 at Cordova dragstrip in Cordova ILL. during Octoberfest. Went to the quater finals and broke out. [The air got better]Still won some money. The motor was pretty much a stock LT1, 30 over, Crane blue print solid lifter cam, 71, Z28 intake,Holley 850 double pumper. Was running to tall slicks on 7in. rim, killed the gear, and had to leave at 6-6500. Did'nt break anything that night, but did go through a couple M22s.The white stripes had cracked on the car, so they used to color in the cracks with white shoe polish. Looked really good till it rained. Schonye

P.S. I think Gary Holub told us once he had video of the car at Cordova.

Clill,
Who has that Silver COPO now?

**Charley Lillard** · #9 08-07-2002, 09:31 PM

I dunno. I traded it toward a ZL1 and that Guy sold it. I think it was at a Dealer in Oklahoma or Texas awhile back for about 65K.

Charlie, I remember seeing those slips and pictures of the car when it was new. I remember the car ran in the 11's or low 12's.
