Default When to change the oil

One more opinion question since I'm getting the Cobra ready for the driving season.

I changed my oil just before the Route 66 run which I believe was back in April so I'm coming up on six months since an oil change. I've only put about 2000 miles on it (which isn't much as far as oil goes) since the Route 66 run because of the hot weather here in the summer. Do I go by miles, time or both when determining when to change the oil? Changing the oil ain't cheap so I don't want to do it more than I need to. The oil looks clean on the dip stick and I'm using conventional Valvoline VR1 Racing Oil. The owner's manual I got with the engine is silent on how often to change the oil.

Not that I'm sensitive to oil issues or anything.
