Kit Car show in Carlisle, PA

Well, I made it to the show on Saturday. It really is a serious event. Lots of interesting automotive experiments and legacy works of art. The Unique team was getting a lot of attention. I even saw one of the Atlanta-built Serpent Express trailers there along the with the owner, Mr. Larry Adams of Ohio. I suppose there were 40 or 50 Cobras in the snake pit along with I'm sure a thousand or more others including a vast contingent of British sports cars. I was particularly interested in a little Lotus-7 look alike out of Canada. It sports a 250 HP motorcycle engine and weighs less than 1,000 lbs. And a truly nice piece of workmanship. The ERA GT 40 is absolutely beautiful. The SPF version looked nice as you would expect. Interestingly enough, I didn't see any high performance engine vendors at the event. Bill, you might look at this in the future. Most of the known Cobra kit manufacturers were there in force. Anyway, it was a nice day for the event and I'm sorry to say, I didn't have a camera with me.

Friday was miserable -- cold and rainy. Engine //performance vendors were at the Good Guys Rod and custom show in Hershey on Saturday --- thousands of cars. The first time for that event and it apparently hurt the attendance at the Carlisle Show -- I understand that some of the FFR people had to split their time between the events because Ford wanted them at the performance engine tent in Hershey. I came back to Carlisle on Sunday -- quiet again and heard a rumor that somebody with a cobra replica blew their engine on the dyno when the kids running the machine over reved the engine. did you witness that excitement???
