R.I.P. Bob Kopachko. That is sad news. Last we talked was back in Oct. Prayers go out to his family and close friends.
Here is what I have of him at Dragway 42. 2021. I'll get the video up asap. He had the front wheels about 2 inches off the ground or better on launch and after a slow start won this race on the big end.
Bob comes to the line at the 5min mark. Wheels up at 5:17, comes around at the big end to win.
I am still shocked to hear this news, I was just at his shop with him less than a week ago. He was always so welcoming to show his collection and share his knowledge with anyone. I feel like I have lost a member of my family. I will miss him a great deal.

Bob was a true gentleman and never had a bad word to say. He will be missed by all. Condolences to his family.
Just figured this out. I can make a photo a video and post it on Youtube. Here is the link. BE SURE TO PAUSE THE VIDEO RIGHT AWAY. That way you can look around. Its only 5seconds long but should be enough time to get down to the lower left hand corner to hit PAUSE. Then take your mouse and drag the image around to see the interior of Bob's 62'.

It was fun watching you two duke it out racing at Dragway 42. You had him at the 60ft but he reeled you in by a hair.
I chatted with Lorie. She says the wake will be Saturday at Brunners in Mentor from 3 to 6. Mass and cemetery will be Monday at St. John Vianney at 9:30am.
Thanks Ricky
