I was looking thru an old Mopar Action mag and seen Tony Scopa's Lime Green 70 RR. I remember him selling it and then thought,what ever happened to some of the KOS cars??
I know Leon still ahs his,I think Daurty still has his HEMI Cuda and Fred has the old Chapman 69 Super Bee. Anyone know any info about some of the KOS cars??
Out of all the KOS cars,I would want Chapmans old 69 Super Bee and Leons Valiant.

My pops hemicuda is sitting in the garage at the house. Hasn't run or moved under its own power in 11 years now. Bill's old 71 RR is hopefully gonna be running some next year.


One day I will have something cool here.

Daurty's HEMI CUDA was Top Dog for a LONG time!!!!! Loved watching it run at Englishtown and talking with him in the pits.
One of my favorites was May's Hemi Orange 71 RR!!!!! Anyone have any pics??

I love that car and it ran awsome!I saw it run at norwalk and later got to meet Tony through Koffels working on the dragster. The engine was a Phoenix W/B1 heads i believe.

What did that car ever run? I never really remember him running good at any KOS events. There was a duster that was like an aqua color that raced a few times with a nitrous hemi also. I don't remember that guys name either. I built my Duster because I loved Roger Laudy's purple Duster back in the day. He still has it also.


One day I will have something cool here.

LOL The plates were good back in the day. But like anything else, alot better options out there now. Richard comes by the shop occasionally to borrow money, ask for parts for his truck, want me to charge parts for his truck and pay me back when he gets his next check. He is a really smart guy but has no drive, or good money/business sense.

Well that explains why I didn't see it my pops had quit racing by the time anybody had went that fast. The last race I remember my pops going to was bristol in 01 or 02 I can't remember. I do remember Bill had just put the 600" motor in the avenger. I'll have to call and see if he remembers when that was.

2005 was when Markuwics ran St. Louis. Prock and Monty were tuning. Monte had the chassis working really well. Bill ran Bristol with the 600" the last year O'mally was involved, 03', I think. Let's see Dale ran the deal in 05' the last year of it. Dan Dye 04'. Hit and miss in 03' believe that was the year at Bristol.
