Default Danny Popp

Can't believe nobody is posting about this here in C3.

Danny Popp just won the Duel in the Desert Shootout in Scottsdale this past weekend in his '72.

And who came in second? Mike "Junior" Johnson in his C3!




























Danny is not only a great competitor; he's a great guy. A few weeks ago I contacted him with some questions about the installation of a Rancho front sway bar and he responded immediately with helpful information.

Very That would have been fun to watch. Scottsdale is a great town too with plenty to do. Do you know anything about the red Vette at the right edge of the top photo? I can't tell for sure but it may be the old Larry Park car. I can't remember who runs it now but it's been repainted in the last 1-2 years and runs really well.

That is Brian Hobaugh's car.

I would have loved to be out there with those guys! I wish some of these events came even remotely near Atlanta or at least the Southeast!

While we're at it Danny Popp has also won OUSCI for the 3rd time which is always against very formidable competition.
