No, but I could have
The speed trials is where I first saw a Cobra and said I've got to have one of those
Cheers,

No Cameron it wasn't that one. From memory I think it was blue and it would have been over 20 years ago.
PS It looks like the word Parsons at the top of the windscreen. Wouldn't be you would it?

Cameron

Mmmm yes I was there. Saw the Dutton silver bullet run also.

The Geelong Speed trials have been suspended for sometime due to Council inability to keep the Ritchie Blvd. open.

Gary Grant (CAMS Vic) has organised the event for many years and has tried hard to resurrect the event.

Bryan think you and I were there about 5 years ago with Lowndes and again trying to get it up and running. Took the Mustang along that day and you had the Cobra there.
