Hillbank Bra

[twobjshelbys]

My bra was supposed to ship almost two weeks ago. I got a call last Wednesday saying that was manufactured for a SPF instead of a Shelby and that it would not ship until late this coming week. Sigh...

The purpose was to protect the front of the car from road stuff while towing it to Phoenix. The lack of the bra was one of the contributing factors but ultimately the weather prevented me from bringing it down to some warm weather for a week. It was cold when I left Friday with high cross winds from Denver to Colorado Springs, and the drive on Saturday down the rest of Colorado and across New Mexico was equally windy. If I'd had the car I probably would have turned around and brought it back.

The good part is that I report at 08:00 tomorrow to the Bondurant track for the 4 day High Performance Driving class. Ought to be fun and not having the Cobra will be less of a distraction I guess. I'll keep telling myself that

Hi Tony, I would be very much appreciative if after you have taken this course could you send me a pm and let me know your opinion. I plan an taking this course after the Cobra is delivered, so your timing is great. Cheers, John AKA, tin-man

I'll try to post some pictures next week but if you do it do nothing less than the 4 day Grand Prix Road Racing class. The first 3 days are in Corvettes, which are nice cars but have too many helpers - ABS, traction and stability control so while you can figure out what you did to get the Nanny to help, you don't get to do anything to react to whatever might have happened (usually, oversteer events).

The last day is in these awesome little Mazda Forumla cars.



Non Nanny helpers here, and definitely more applicable to the Cobra (and probably the FGT too, according to one of the instructors.)

The biggest thrill was a hot lap with Bob Bondurant in his ZR1. The ZR1 is miles above the Vettes we drove in speed and handling, and the driver topped it all off...
