Earl--

Thanks for getting back to me. My car seems to be able to run with the Cobras pretty well. We did that last week at Roebling with the Willis Woerhide group and had a ball (though those big v-8's sure out-powered us on the straights). I run 1:59-2:00's at CMP and if the cobras are a bit faster, I'll stay out of their way. I'll try to clear my calendar this this weekend so that I can register. If the event fills up and a cobra wants in, I'll move aside since I know that the opportunities for Cobras to get out and hit the tracks are more limited than for the Porsche guys.

As a plug to the Cobra owners, CMP is a great cobra track. I couple of good straights and some technical areas that will really show you your cars abilities and limits. I had tons of fun with my unique at CMP. Make sure your brake pads are in good shape and the tires are fresh. At cobra speeds these items get used up pretty quickly!
