What a great day here in St. Louis. The weather was gorgeous and the hospitality of the Gateway Cobra Club was fantastic. Lots of 100+ mph speeds down the back straightaway and only a couple of breakdowns. The weather tomorrow could be very wet, so stay tuned as we try to stay dry.

Well, you're missed it today. I logged 54 miles on the 1.6 mile road course today. Lot's of fun.
The day started with an instructional class presented by Don Barnes With Texas Driving Experience - http://www.texasdrivingexperience.com/default.aspx http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q...G/P1060630.jpg A driver's meeting was then completed that covered track rules, flag meanings and questions answered. I didn't take many photo's since I was driving today, but here are a few below. http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q...G/P1060631.jpg The only incident today involved the Orange Backdraft above. It was backed in to the tire barrier coming out of turn 7 onto the Oval damaging the rear passenger fender and taking out the taillights. Participants: http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q...G/P1060632.jpg A new member our club 'recruited' today: http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q...G/P1060635.jpg |
Non participants, wonder if they planned it this way:

I think I turned the slowest at 1:30 on my street tires. Was searching all day for the best way to handle turn 1 and turn 7. May get another chance Friday as tomorrow looks to be a complete wash out. |
Thanks! Love the pic's. Keep 'em coming!

Great Pictures! ' wish we could have made it this year. Rain??? No problem. There are some great casinos just waiting to turn over some of their cash, and over by Collinsville there are some "clubs" that display some real racy high octane models that will get your minds off of the weather...hehehehe. Have fun and stay safe.

Drizzle, pour, stop, repeat - all day long. Was very wet today, but we, well 14 of us, ran autocross in the swamps of GIR today. I didn't get any pics as I was participating, hopefully, someone did and will post them. Seeing Cobra's and other race cars drive through 3" deep puddles with water washing over the top was kinda neat. I got drenched and I learned to put your sunvisors down so the inside of your roadster's windshield doesn't get water all over it. By my last run, it was raining so hard that I had to turn off and not get a third time. By the time I made it back to the garage, I was even more soaked, I narrowly missed some concrete bollards since I couldn't see and had a blast doing it :D My only pic, the aftermath:

Is that a blue coupe I see down the way? http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q...G/P1060645.jpg |
Thursday - Rain Day
Not much racing today except for the Autocross. The local SCCA club did a great job, especially in the rain.http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...m/IMG_9961.jpg

Great, keep the pics coming.
Thanks Dwight |
Gregg,
Thanks for the pictures! Have you seen Hershal Byrd and his GT40? tell him I said HI! |
Hey Sammy, I think I saw a 'Vette in front of you in one of the pics from Greg.
Musta been photoshopped in there :-) Good luck and hope the rain stops.... it came a monsoon here in Dallas all night. |

The weather has been extra gross .. the Autocross was a submarine race. We did a new event this year I'll have to tell all about later called the "Barrel Race." Yes, same concept as the famous rodeo sport and it was a riot. We ran it in the rain and you can imagine all the spin outs. I call it the Barrel of Laughs .. or Barrel of Monkeys, as the sessions wore on :rolleyes: Today was road course day and it was raining all day. I ran a 1:42 .. compared to an unofficial 1:16 in the dry on Test N Tune day. No grip, even when I changed to the Billboards. Gotta go, big party .. :D Sam |
Hi all
Did Hershal make it to the Run N Gun..:confused: |
Yes, he did. He had a friend with him that drove his car for some of the events. He took a trophy(plaque) or two home.
|
Purple Venom, Thanks for the update. The other driver may have been Mike from Tucson.
|
I think the other driver was Andrew from Australia a RF GT40 builder and competition driver.
Bernie |
Hi Bernie, yes , I am sure that you are correct. Thanks.
