I emailed TV Channels 7, 8, 24, 36, and 42 with the following press release - media announcement. I'll report back if anyone responds.

Press Release - Media Announcement
Introduction: In the early 1960's, a brash Texan by the name of Carroll Shelby envisioned an automotive marriage between a European sports car & the American V-8. By dropping a lightweight small-block Ford V-8 engine into the chassis & aluminum body of a British AC Ace 2-seat roadster, Shelby created a car that would dominate the racing circuits of the era & change the face of automotive history forever. In it's heyday a Shelby Cobra had no equal on the track. This early 289 FIA Cobra was refined & evolved throughout the 60's & the final version was a thundering, fire breathing, take-no-prisoners, flare fendered, big block 427 S/C Cobra roadster, which is today regarded as the very essence of brute automotive power. The 427 Cobra S/C is still considered to be the fastest production street car ever sold in America.
Today, the Texas Cobra Club (TCC) celebrates the spirit of the Shelby Cobra by sharing a passion for this legendary race car. Club members from all across Texas build, customize, race & drive Shelby Cobra replicas from one of several replica manufacturers.
Several times a year, area & statewide events are hosted to get together & raise the hoods, check out the newest additions, talk shop & generally share the fun & fellowship of other Cobra enthusiasts. It's also a real kick to watch the heads turn & the jaws drop when 50 or 60 Cobras rumble down the road. For more information on the Texas Cobra Club, feel free to follow the links on the web site to view photos & learn more about past gatherings, upcoming events, current members & their Cobras.
