Cobras wanted for V8 Supercars Drivers Parade at Homebush.

I do speak the truth.

Apparently someone made a point of letting the wrong people know that there "ford" cobra had a Holden motor in it. I am only responding to the official word from our president Mark Hudson, who was advised by the promoters.

We will actually even have fake "Ford" number plates on our cars.

I just hope that people who are not happy with the way this has gone, respect that there is nothing underhanded going on and insinuating something has is just disappointing

Sorry Phil....
I just made a phone call to the promoter and confirmed that they are in fact ONLY using Cobras powered by Ford.

Arrrrrrrrrrggggggghhhh!

I told him exactly what I thought of this stupid decision...and not to ever call me again when they want any favours.

I apologize to any LS powered Cobras that will miss out...

Ian ( The Promoter) said that they ( V8 Supercars) had raised this topic after the last time we were part of the Indy/600 event, but since we haven't been needed in that event since, it was never brought up.

And it seems that someone had simply pointed out that there were some of the Cobras in the group that had Chevvy/GMH engines, ( Nothing nasty )..
and this then suddenly became an issue.

I'm sorry if there are any disappointed members because of this,

Hopefully the Ford powered Cobras will still enjoy the day....

Cheers,
Warren

Phil,

If you are insinuating that my enquiry to Wazza was for underhanded purposes, you are so far off the mark that it's laughable.

Of course I am upset at being culled, but that's the decision of the promoters, whether it be right or wrong.

My enquiry to Wazza was simply to establish if the same criteria applied for the Indy Parade and that's all.
