Wish me luck guys. I was invited to bring my Cobra up to Long Beach tomorrow and park it in the Mother's Exotic Car Paddock at the Toyota Grand Prix (what us older guys still call the Long Beach Grand Prix). Of the 250 cars in the paddock, they're inviting 50 of them to drive the course for a lap before the race. I spent the day checking the brakes, lubing the suspension, changing the
oil, checking the timing, etc. to get ready for the drive up and (hopefully) a drive around the track.
What's better than this? My father, who helped me build the car 15 years ago, flew out from DC to make the trip with me. We considered towing the car up from San Diego, but decided to man up and drive. Before the day is out, we'll stink of 91 octane, our faces will be burned from the sun, ears will be ringing and we'll feel beaten by wind and adrenaline overdose.
Can't wait.
