Default Eddyville BOP Saturday

Hey Everybody,
Anyone going the BOP at Eddyville in Iowa?
The Coopers are set to appear - Bob, Brian and Kenny!
We have been looking forward to this for years.
unfortunately, I couldn't get the car ready in time and health issues are keeping us from coming.
I hope that others can cheer on the Coopers.
Good luck guys!
Take Care, Craig

Default SINCE WE HAVENT HAD A CALL OUT IN A WHILE

Since we haven’t had a call out in a while.

Danny Estep I’m calling you and your fire breathing Dragster out! 500 to the winner!

I think my old mans goat could probably whoop ya or whomp ya or both!






Disclaimer: 500 pennies because that should be enough to buy a hot dog from the concession stand.

Sadly it'll just be my dad. Hopefully they have it again next year.

Fun times Saturday. It was great to see Arnie and talk with him a bit. Wish I could have seen Brian and Danny there as well. All in all it was a great weekend.
Thanks to everyone that stopped by to say hi.

Thanks Brian! Unfortunately I had to race your Dad 2nd round of mod. He took it easy on me though and went red. I hope they hold it there again next year. It’s one of my favorite tracks.

I used to go to Eddyville back in the day and definitely remember Robert Cooper, man what a dandy of a Guy! I took my old Firebird up there for a Nostalgia Drag and was having trouble with it cutting out at above 5500 RPM and he came over and helped me get it timed right.

Back then he had a 65ish GTO that he flat toed behind a Burgundy 75 Firebird and he raced both cars.

I also remember always seeing a 70 GTO campaigned by Milligan's?

Some of my favorite memories in my life include Bob, his family and the Milligan's.
Take Good Care Everybody,
Craig

Wow that goes way back. But he never towed with the 75bird. That was his daily driver for quite a few years. He towed with El Camino that he put a 389 in, then a green 69 GP that i believe he bought from Milligan (not 100% sure on that) then a burgundy 69 GP. The GTO, burgundy GP, and Firebird are still in the family
