21st Cobra Nationals

[Kimbo]

Definitely get your entries in - we are pretty short at the moment - Thanks Gav...

It might even be an idea to invite your (non Cobra) friends to enter as well.

I had planned that I might be able to sneak away and be a marshal for the event but unfortunately a customer has informed me that I will be elsewhere working for the long weekend.
Not being able to go is really disappointing, its a great weekend away with plenty of laughs.

Ill have the chariot back together for next year I'm sure.

Bloody customers - life would be so much easier without them

Sorry to hear you're not coming along with or without your chariot.

Maybe Tenrocca and I can race for the fastest CR award -

Watch out Andrew I found an extra 20% power. Cheapest 20% ever

[Gav]

Did you adjust the hand brake Greg?

[David Hodgson]

Got his old 70's platform shoes out of the cupboard.

[Tenrocca]

Energy Polarizer?

Dont worry Gregg, Ill raise the white flag now. Old hard tyres, cars still not back together, wont even have time to run the brillo pad over her, been taking driving tips off Gav. Im no chance.

[Gav]

Being told to 'f$$k off' is not considered a driving tip Andy

Close - found out my Accel pedal was hitting the side louvre protrusion into the footwell. Was only ever at 80%, feels a lot better now I have WOT :-) (Had to put in a led shift thingy as it was hitting rev limiter much faster now)

Andrew - old tyres, excuses excuses.

Looking forward to it. Cheers Gregg

Hi Folks, I just joined the site. I take it anyone can rock up at the Nationals and check out the vehicles and talk to owners about their build experiences? I can probably only make the Saturday. I'm just starting the journey and have been trolling through this website and others for info. Will there be any manufacturers at the nationals?

[400TT]

Auswallaby, hi and welcome to the site.

Yes, anyone can attend the Nationals, it is free to get in.

Absolute Pace will have a large display again this year.

Hi ozwallaby welcome. Yes you certainly can see the sights and talk to all at the nats. A friendly smile and handshake is always welcome as we all enjoy talking about our cars.

AP cars will be there from Qld with a display. Ask for Craig. Superformance have started a new franchise and may be there. Ask for John aka LJ. There are many others like FFR, CR, Cobra kits,Drb, Python, ByDesign and apparently even Backdraft now but in my experience don't always represent their product at the Nationals. In the past Classic Revival, ByDesign, Drb and Cobra kits have but don't know about this year.

Turn up say hi. Theres lots to see and we're all pretty friendly.

Hi Spook

I sent my entry about 1 hour ago

All I need is the rego approval for the car

Excellent. Will be great to have you along this year. So many are keen to see your car in the flesh fully rego'd. A milestone for you and a significant one for Craig @ AP also. To see Craig's idea hatch to what we see in the flesh in your build pics is outstanding. Not much good said these days about Australian manufacturing and its so good to see there are still a few choosing and proving it can be done here with great success.

Don't worry about QLD Transport.....We approve!

Brad,

As a scrutineer I can tell you that the car does not necessarily need to be registered but it needs to be 'registerable'. For the street classes it needs to have all things that a registered street car would have. working lights, full windscreen, full exhaust, legal tyres etc etc. Your car should pass even if technically it is not registered. Andrew's (Tenrocca) car has passed this test in the past when he was proudly unregistered....

[Tenrocca]

Yup, Ive done 3 nats in a street class and this is my first one actually registered.

This bloody clutch is slowing me down more than any number plate....



Unfortunately this is not the "before" photo of tonights work. I was supposed to be driving this weekend but couldnt get the clutch to disengage so pulled the engine out again.
