It was a pretty good day today at the track, not too cold (for long periods atleast).
Rain held off for the best part, and most Cobras stayed on the track.
Having a ball and looking forward to tomorrows action.

Not sure what the final count was, probably about 45 to 55, well short of the 80 or so booked in. I think the weather forecast probably put quite a few off. It was ok till about 10am Saturday (when I left), Friday was freezing.
Thank you to all involved for a great event, had a great time. Sunday was a bit of a let down, had a oil leak that got continually worse. (but I managed to drive it home ok)
When I got home had a bitmore time to find the problem and it turns out I forgot to put the O ring on the new distributor Hmmm . Bit of a shame because the car was running well and was looking forward to the sprints.
Thanks Tenrocca I am very happy how its turned out, I have plans to redo the engine bay this year and definately replace my tyres that are over 5years old not much grip.

Cheers for the pics and link to times.
I did not see my times in run 3 and thought I had gone slower so I did not chase it up for a look.
But I can see I picked up about .3 of a second.
Thanks to the NSW club for a well run event, Had a ball and loved the Lumley Lap, only 1 go to get it right really does put pressure on.
Already planning for holidays next year.
Does anyone have a number for the photographer, I kept missing him all weekend.
My Cobra is now safely locked away in Aussie Mikes shed.

Hi Dave,
How did the Thermo Fans go? Did they make any difference to your engine temps?

Hi there Baz, on Saturday I ran with them turned off, Never got any hotter than normal, Sunday I ran with them on, and engine was about 20 F cooler.
I did not really need them for extra cooling, but was happy to see they did not make it run hotter (I did not have them wired up on Saturday), Sunday morning I rewired the spotlight relay to run the fans

That's great news Dave. Besides doing their job, they look great too.

A bit of a quick video of a few spins and clips from the event. I'll be uploading more across the next week. Just gotta sort through about 2 hours and 30 minutes of footage and render it all. This one is a music clip but all the rest will be raw sound as people want to hear the cars.
