Drew,
I guess that frown is a result of my normal state of confusion.

Looking forward to seeing the new business.

Heard that Woodard is giving out cash awards at the car show.

That is great news Jim !

Now I understand why you are giving $ 100 each to the top 25
Cobras.

I don't care what everyone says about you, you're alright.

Hey guys. Noticed a post at ffcobra.com about y'all meeting at On the Border. I drove by on the way in to do some work. Didn't have time to stop but everyone there has some outstanding looking cars. Shame I was so pressed for time the meeting being so close to me and all.

Wow,
What a day!!!! We had at least a dozen Cobras at OTB, and about 50,000 droolers in the parking lot. I think OTB was not exactly ready for us, but Vicki came to the rescue of the wait staff, she rightly should have gotten at least half of all the tips. We then snaked over to Drew's new shop- Keith Craft Motorsports 1611 North Central expressway, Plano, Texas 75075...972-578-3554, which was only about 150 yards away. VERY NICE!!
We watched 2 Cobras run on the Dynojet
with Greg first up! If memory serves, Greg's second run produced 364 rwhp, but also showed a lean condition which negated a third pull. Then Alan put his 418 Keith Craft stroker up to raise the bar to 432 rwhp and a highly restrictive exhaust. Alas, John jr. & I had to hop in the Honda & head for home, and miss the rest of the fun.
Fred, thanks for the tip on the liquid filled fuel pressure gauge- you were correct, and a ice cold rag brought the pressure up from 0 to 3# and climbing.
Now, I just have a little more carb tweaking to do, but Mary & I put about 15 miles on it yesterday, and it was FUN!!!
Thanks Drew for a great day, and to all of my Cobra family for sharing their Saturday with us.
John & John jr. Russell

Sounds like we missed a great time.

We planned on being there but our refigerator went out (for the third time in a month) on Thursday and the IDIOTS from Maytag service sent their "emergency" service out on Saturday (emergency = two days later??) during the meeting.

Congratulations on a great opening weekend, Drew.

I DO GET A LITTLE NERVOUS TRYING TO RUN SOMEONE ELSES MOTOR UP TO 7,000 RPM'S

ESPECIALLY WHEN THE TACK DROPS OFF LIKE 3,000 RPM'S IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RUN

Jay, how in the world do you expect to give us fodder for ribbing if you insist on following the rules!!!!! I told you about the tach and to ignore it and you still used common sense!!! How can we make fun of anything if you insist on doing the right thing?????
