pro driver at Gainesville
 
Just heard from Dennis Oltoff today and he is going to the June 8th event at Gainesville, FL. This is a big plus for all going as he has indicated he will give any interested parties pointers on driving a Cobra on a road course.
This makes two Superformance Cobras to beat Dennis Oltoff and Ken Collett. I wish I could be there but I will be kicking it on a big dingy in the Gulf.

Chris Allen and Engineer ED will be there to keep up FFR's Honor the rest of you FFR guys should be ashamed for not showing up. Just think two famous Cobra Guys at one event(Engineer Ed and Dennis Oltoff) get your autographed pictures made with the great ones ;)


Good luck guys and have a great time

P.S. Someone please get this on video tape and send me a copy.

I wonder if Dennis O can keep up with Jason??? :o hahhahha dino

aumoore 05-29-2002 10:09 PM

Opps sorry I forgot about Jason and Dino. I gave my list to Jerry Rowley this weekend. I guess that makes 4 FFR's

Good luck guys

Ruble...if I remember correctly..Jason, with his 608 flywheel Hp'd Screaming Yellow Zonker kicked everybody's butt the first event. The second event was dominated by a Z06 vette...but Ed did hang tough for 3rd. My car, on the other hand, puked and died at the second event...and even running perfectly...I don't think Dennis O has anything to worry about with me!! :( dino

Dino
the Vette kicked everybody's but both times. Jason did have a couple of fast laps but was not very consistant. Something about having drag radials on te rear and too much power.

Dennis has a pretty fast small block Superformance with a Roush Motor in it. I think over 400 hp in a 302.

Watch out for Dennis O.

At VIR, he was seen doing in excess of 160 MPH on the straights.

In addition, he was casually doing 'donut's in a number of turns just for fun.

I was behind him at VIR and watched him setup for the turns. He kicks the a$$ end of the car out and goes thru most turns side ways.

An amazing driver.

Have fun and be safe!!!

Keith...why don't you post the WHOLE thing??? That is VERY out of context..I guess you just didn't see it. dino

Hey Guys,

Let me clear something up :)

I am an amateur with a capitol "A"

The first time I was EVER on a road course was the first Gainesville trip and I have not been back since due to work. Im sure with everybody practicing I will be at the BACK of the pack.
I never did get my new brakes installed so I will be running on stock disk/drum setup.

Im sure I will see the tail lights of most there.

My car makes decent power but will be pullied down to make less boost/power.

Jason

d boothe 05-31-2002 12:10 PM

Jason...don't do it!!! If you can't win...at least you can have the biggest one there!!!! :o I mean, the car with the most HP, of course!!! It's really too bad we can't have a two day event...one day for drag racing, and one for the track. Of course, I guess Run and Gun does that...but not in FLORIDA!!! dino

Gatorac 05-31-2002 04:15 PM

Someone posted on the Corral that they were having a Fun Ford deally at the drag strip that weekend.

I'm something else with a capital "A" :JEKYLHYDE :LOL:

aumoore 05-31-2002 10:32 PM

You guys should crash the Fun Ford Weekend and get a few runs on the strip.

Jason might do pretty good there as it is all straight running

d boothe 06-01-2002 11:42 AM

Ruble...are you implying that Jason doesn't know how to brake and turn???? :) dino

jason 06-01-2002 12:08 PM

I can brake and turn, I just need brakes TO turn :)

d boothe 06-01-2002 02:34 PM

Jason...you don't need more go..just a tad more whoa!!! :) dino

jerry rowley 06-02-2002 03:36 PM

I'm looking forward to seeing you all on Friday night. Try to make it for dinner at 7PM. Joe Smith has something arranged for us. Don't forget we have a 9PM meeting that is MANDATORY (for Dino, that means you can't miss it Dino!). I got your check for the "second driver" Is this a ringer? Hummmmmmmmmmmmmm!
Ed, watch out! He's after you now!

Jerry

P.S.. Pray for COOOOOOOOOL weather, please!

d boothe 06-02-2002 04:13 PM

Jerry..maybe he's a "mandatory ringer"...you know, somebody you bring along when you think you might get your ass whipped!!! :) Well...I just pulled my back out..can't hardly walk..and have new brake lines, shoes, fluid, serpentine belt, Alternator brackets, plugs, oil, filter, fire estinguisher, valve cover gaskets, all new...all ready to install before "THE DAY"...and all I can do is look at the stuff. Tried to work on THE BEAST earlier today...lasted all of 3 minutes. Hope my chiropractor can help me tomarrow...or I'll be running her as she sits!! :( dino

jerry rowley 06-03-2002 10:40 AM

Ed, he's not even there yet, and ALREADY come the excuses! What do you think of that?

Jerry

Dino, sorry about your back, I hope the bone crusher helps!

CobraDan 06-03-2002 11:00 AM

KEEP COOL!

Dan

d boothe 06-03-2002 12:23 PM
