Engine sounds from Arizona Cobras Anniversary Party

[gotzoom]

I am sorry I couldn't make it to the party. I had every intention of being there, but I have a good excuse. I broke mine that afternoon at Arizona Motorsport Park. Nothing that money can't fix and as I told my wife, who was convinced I would be hysterical, "At least it's not on fire".

I had a great time putting in some track time. I was running in a HPDE1 group with 5 brand new Porsches and the Cobra was certainly keeping pace and holding the corners like glue. As I finally got waved past the Porsche in front of me and started making my way by him it all stopped. No throttle at all and then POP. It turns out that I sucked some wire from the oil pickup screen into my oil pump, the pump seized, the distibutor shaft stopped, and the distributor gear sheered.

Did I mention it wasn't on fire? Sorry I missed the party.

By the way, I pick it up from B&R Automotive on Monday. I must thank you all for the recommendation. I have had to have it there twice and they have been professional and competent. I almost don't mind spending the money when I know the work has been done right and fair.

Sorry for the non-sequitir.
