Copeland/Sirois Breakup????
 

Why did long time, friends Al Copeland and Bill Sirois stop teaming together? They were together for years with the Popeyes team and I think Bill Sirois had a lot to do with the new 50ft popyes, and all its innovations. What ever happened to that Popeyes boat I think it only raced 1 full year?

Re: Copeland/Sirois Breakup????
 

Al quit racing after a serious snowmobile accident that almost took his life,I do believe that the 50 footer is at Lightning Jacks Marina having turbines installed in it,Al still has some serious play toys though.

Re: Copeland/Sirois Breakup????
 

Jacks has the original 50 cat, not the Goetz cat with the canopy.

Re: Copeland/Sirois Breakup????
 

I know that they stoped racing together before Al's back problems, because Al used Bob Idonie and Bill raced with Don Johnson in the Gentry and won the worlds against Al and Popeyes

Re: Copeland/Sirois Breakup????
 

I belive it was Richie Powers that was with Johnson.

Re: Copeland/Sirois Breakup????
 

No it was Bill Sirois that was with Don Johnson, I was there. I think Bill and Al broke up either over safety or engines they were using.

you are correct in that reply some of these people have too much time on their hands and ask dumb things hope all is well in la.

Re: Copeland/Sirois Breakup????
 

What difference does it make?

Because i have the right to ask, i have been a Popeyes fan since i was a kid and i have heard all the rumors about why they stopped racing together, and would like to know what really happened.

Re: Copeland/Sirois Breakup????
