Thanks for the new info Dick. I built my Cobra to drive and drive it I do. If there is an award for rock chips I might win it. On the drive home after the Cobra was painted a rock hit it, and again the next day - since then I made the decision that mine is not a show car. On the track other Cobras have kicked up stones that have landed on top of the driver's side fenders, and the nose looks like it has almost 30,000 miles ( which it has ) of road wear. The gravel does not bother me, however, I respect any Cober owner who does not what to drive on gravel. I do have EFI and regularly drive above 5,000 feet around Arizona. Tucson's elevation is 2,700 feet. I am definately planing to make the trip up the mountain on my way to DVSF V in June. Perhaps we could coordinate a Cobra breakfast in Colorado Springs and then those of us that want to drive the mountain can go from there OR meet and drive up and then have a Cobra lunch. ??? John
