Can I go just to watch and talk with some of the cobra guys, and where is the track located, and the time it starts, I just got mine done, someday I would like to run it on the track.

Ron
We are planning to leave around 7:00 stopping for breakfast in Tehachapi. Would be great to get together and caravan up. I live on the east side by the old Mesa Marin. How about meeting at the chevron station at 178 and Niles. We can be flexible on leave time if that works for you

I hope you guys had a good day at the track. For a last-minute, thrown together, track day, it came off very well. I’m sorry I was not more available. I was having a meltdown with my car. It was running flawless at the dyno 3 days prior but for some reason ran like a pos at the track. Worked on it till 1am Friday night and threw in the towel Saturday at noon. So car never left the pits.

The good news is I drove the last 2 sessions in Karen’s spec racer and identified a problem with my car before Thunderhill in 2 weeks. Also got to visit with friends a little. Only wish I had more time to visit with the other cobra folks that came out. I saw you guys out there looking good. All and all, it was a pretty cool event.

Hope all went well for you guys and talk soon, John :-)

Here's Andy and I, stumped!

Hey Mike,

Thanks and glad you had a great time. Actually, it worked out ok for me. Car is going to the tuner first thing Friday and we will find the problem before Thill on the 23rd & 24th. Had I not gone to Willow I would have been SOL. Also got to drive Karen's car which got me on the track in the afternoon. That's the good news. Long drive, short trip, but glad to be there. Good group of folks and a must do again.

Talk soon, John
