Are any original Shelby employees there to support them?
Of course I realize it's 40-plus years later but would love to hear if any of the original racing mechanics, or racers made it back there for the event. also I wonder if the CSX4000 cars would be legal to run in an event like the 12 hours of Sebring or 24 Hours of Daytona today? I don't know if they would if they are sold as uncompleted cars but aren't Lotus 7s or their copies sold as uncompleted cars too?
It would be interesting if they could compete in modern racing because
basically the CSX4000 cars are simple cars and longevity is what these races are all about, and the less parts you have the less there is to break....

This Cheesehead is here at Road America. . . . and enjoying every second of it. Anything in particular you would like pictures of??? I will post what I have after the weekend. The "orange" Tom Barnard car is fast!! Had him at 164mph at the Start/Finish line yesterday. It was not the most accurate reading because of where I was at. (Up on the bridge that crosses that straight-a-way).
Met A.C. D'Augustine, another one of the CSX4000 drivers. What a super nice guy! Saw Bill Murray, Dave Murray (with his red 289 car), Alden Rix (with CSX3017).

mschjone:
The event your attending is sanctioned by the SVRA as: No SVRA Series points. Do not know the sanctioning org for the Lime Rock Rolex Vintage Special , 29 Aug-1 Sept. Has there been any mention of the CSX 4000 Cobras going to Lime Rock, or could you ask ?
.................thanks

Don,
I asked Tom Barnard (driver of the orange CSX4000 series car), he said they were not going to Lime Rock. The next track they will be at is tentatively Miller Motorsports Park in September, he thought.

Thanks for asking regarding Lime Rock ........could not find the race results on either Road America or SVRA web sites, how did the Cobra's do ?
The Lime Rock event is sponsored by BMW, and Ford was the sponsor at Road America, speculation , might influence where the CSX 4000 series are entered ?

With the Mustang events, a good opportuniy to have the CSX 4000 Cobras at the event:
" Another series making its first appearance at Miller Motorsports Park is the all-new Ford Racing Mustang Challenge for the Miller Cup. This series is an outgrowth of the Mustang Challenge class that was developed as part of the Ford Racing High Performance Driving School and Miller Park Racing Association here at Miller Motorsports Park. MMP owns and operates the series, which is contesting eight rounds in its inaugural season, with the final round this weekend. The series utilizes the 2008 Ford Mustang FR500S, the first racing car to be built on a production line in the long history of Ford Motor Company. The identically-prepared cars have 4.6-liter, 24-valve V8 engines producing 325hp that are dyno-tested and sealed by Roush Engineering, and provide an affordable venue for competitors looking to go racing in a professional series with a V8-powered, rear-wheel-drive car.
