Re: COPO Pete Simpson 1962 - 1-23-2013
Well done Dan:-)
I was a big fan of Pete's and we met a few times but I would have loved to really gotten to know him. By all accounts we lost one heck of a great Canadian right there!!!!!!

Wow. It was that long ago. One of the best in the hobby. Wish I could have gotten to know him better.

Remembering our friend again today... he really was a great guy and always ready to lend a hand, here we are loading up my car after I had some engine trouble, our whole convoy pulled over somewhere in MI on the side of I-69 in '97 I think it was, we were all on our way to the Pure Stock Drags.
Pete's in the shorts. And while I moved away twenty years ago, we always picked up where we left off with any conversation. Missing COPO Pete still, a good friend to all he met and always fun to be around. Anthony |

His window sticker rides with me every day. It is great that the boys still race the car every year, well except 2020, I though maybe Bruno could find a way across the border.
Btw, the car is faster than it ever was

His experience of when his Copo Camaro was stolen was legendary.
