Getting Ready for ShelbyFest 2011
Hi All,
I have been a spectator for the last 2 years at ShelbyFest and have taken the plunge and am competing for the first time this year. Been doing a couple of upgrades to the Cobra lately (safety than performance). Got my helmet and gloves. Havenet gone for a suit yet. Put in a Battery isolator and a 4 point harness. Picture below. The new CR Chassis has all of the mounting points for a 4 point harness so it was pretty easy. Also with the quick release fittings it can be easily removed from the car when not in use. Anyway just a quick request if anyone has a "ShelbyFest Checklist" of the necesary things/tools etc to bring along. I will be driving my Cobra there and back so no trailer. Have Total Care in case I get stranded. I am thinking things like the following: - tool box with most tools - Spare Coolant - Spare Oil? - Jack (and stands?) - Tyre Pressure guage (I assuming I can borrow someones pump) - Car Cover - Chock for wheels so I dont put handbrake on when brakes are hot - ext lead and lead light - multimeter - cable ties - window cleaner/chamois Anything else? thanks regards Gregghttp://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d..._Harness_2.jpg http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...ra_Harness.jpg |
Spare undies.
Do you have someone else going that can take all the bits and pieces for you? If so then your list looks pretty good, if not then maybe ditch the jack and stands as you should be able to beg, steal and borrow if you need them. Only thing I would add is with your helmet, if it is full face get a decent tinted lens. Also proper shoes are good, narrower toe and thin sole so you can "feel" the pedals and pedal pressure better. You will have a ball Gregg. |
Unless you ara having a really big go it is unlikely you will need much tools, as Boxhead mentioned there is always some one around who can help.
I drove down from Sydney last year with just a jack, socket set, screwdrivers and cable ties. You will love giving your car a decent rev! Ben |
thanks for the tips re the jack and stands, especially the tinted visor. Mine is clear.
I am really looking forward to it. Just wanna have some fun on the track and socialise with the lads. Rgds Gregg |
ShelbyFest is perfect for that, Enjoy the Toy.

Hey Rohan, do you guys normally go up in a group on the Friday AM etc? Rgds Gregg |
Convoy
Gregg,
Normally yes, it depends on the weather and work. I trailer the car up in case I/others have an issue and bring the esky's and tools. STIFFY |
Hey there Guys and Gals.
I wanted to bring this up to the front page and wish all attending a great weekend. hope your travels to and from are un eventful. Keep the shiney side up (except in your case Gav, yours is like mine and probably shinier underneath than on top) For the people like myself who missed out on attending this year I will add, we like pictures, so dont be shy with the camera, Iphone, photobucket, links :) I am jealous and kicking myself I am not there, but I really wanted to run up here in the Drags on Saturday night. It will be close between FantaBoy and Mr Bunnings. |
Hi,
Are vistors allowed to come and look for inspiration? Nathan |
Certainly are.
Saturday is at the track, Sunday is at Wangaratta saleyards Cheers |
How many cars have entered and the mix - Cobras, GT40's, Mustangs etc. etc...:confused:
|
it's predominantly Cobra's (95+%) with a GT40 or two usually.
|
Looking forward to my first ShelbyFest - only a spectator this year - so I can pick everyones brains some more.....
|
for those of us who aren't going
some pics from last year (higher quality available from youtube) ta LoBelly |
I will head up Saturday. Less the GT40. Was looking forward to a GT40 drive but still doing a total rebuild..
Leaving Hume highway Campbellfield about 0830. More than likely in the Mustang Convertible as the weather looks good - overcast 21. :MECOOL: Probably from Maccas Campbellfield about 0830 |
