We are running the car at GoodGuys in Pleasanton this weekend and will be going to Scottsdale if it is still good to go after Pleasanton. We were told last night that the Cobra will not be allowed at 2018 GoodGuys events because they are initiating a 3200 pound minimum weight rule. We could never add 850 pounds safely so I guess we are out. Really too bad, because that leaves Ford out of the fight with Corvette. I am really disappointed that GoodGuys caved to the complaints from Corvette owners about the Cobra's light weight. My new engine, rear end ratio and rear suspension design changes were all for GoodGuys competition. I know the crowds love to see the car run. I hope they tell GoodGuys officials how much they miss the little Ford. I guess we will take it back to SCCA CAM-S. People do not realize how much effort goes into making a car fast, it isn't the light weight it is hours of testing and changing set ups to make it fast. Having the best autox driver in the country wheeling it is also a big factor.
Stop by and say hi if you are at Scottsdale GoodGuys.
