First time at Hallet out of about 12 total days there I have had a transponder. Worked my way down to 1:30.4 Sunday am (clockwise). That was the fastest Cobra time as of noon sunday when I left. Don't know what happened later, but I was pretty pleased to be 1 sec faster than Dave Williams

How hot was it? 112 Friday when I dropped the trailer off at 3 pm. About like that Saturday. You had to drink constantly and stay in the shade of the Raceports. I brought a barrel fan that helped.

No more than 5 cars on the track at the time .. insurance rule, I guess. Got lots of clean laps, but missed the sensation of racing and passing other cars. The only real race I had either day was me and Wild Bill and we had a lot of fun. Sure wish he'd been in the blue Daytona ...

I did get to go head to head in a drag race up the hill from turn 3 with the Z06. I was passing him and he yielded, but he 'forgot' to lift I stayed with him at WOT till he let up for turn 1. Always wondered how my Cobra would do against a Z06 .. I'd say it was an even race.














I will have some great in car video later .. that takes a while ...
