Dragonsnake Cobra Pilot Breakfast?

[SCOBRAC]

Is there any interest in having a breakfast in the North Bay, Napa or Sonoma area in which we get an original Dragonsnake Team Pilot to tell all? Here's the story...

I was sitting in the grandstand on Sunday watching a cadre of over carburated Cobras try to run the quarter mile and feeling slightly ashamed and embarassed by a certain yellow Cobra posting a speed in the lights of between 50 an 64 mph when the announcer broadcast the return of an original Dragonsnake team driver would take the newly restored team car for a run down memory lane.

As it happens I spent 10 years living across the street from this guy. I knew he worked for Shelby before going to Vietnam building 289's for the Sunbeam Tiger and the early Cobras. I had no idea he was an original Vette killing Dragonsnake pilot. He was just the really interesting mechanic guy living across the street who helped me make my 289 GT Mustang go really fast... Who knew. Anyway, It isn't Ralph Falconer or Jere Kirkpatrick.

I'm not using his name because I haven't asked him if he will even talk about the old days. I thought I would see if there was any interest. Anyone?

I for one would pay to hear the stories but how does this work? He would probably do it for free if we do it near his home and buy his breakfast. If there is a significant interest I will go see him and ask him. No promises but I am sure he would be happy to do it.

Please send me an e-mail at the link below. If we get enough I will bring them to him in a few days or a week and see what we can do.
