A Miata Cobra!! I agree; seemed like a poor turn-out, but it was the same as last year. Why is this event BOTH days of the weekend? Even JBL gave this show a pass, as they went to the Long Beach Grand Prix! (I guess they only have one car, and one person who knows anything!!) lol!!
Well Edley,

JBL gave the show a pass because they had customers that needed real support at the LBGP and the Kit Car folks changed the date.. SK/JBL builds many components for the CART teams and this had to take precedence over the Knott’s show. (I hope you understand “CASH FLOW”)

I do wonder why you say that JBL has only one car and one person who “knows” anything. Have you read about John Marsey, Scott and Jay Torburg, Tom Wolfe, David Beale, and of course everyone’s favorite, the Butcher. How does these folks equate to one car? Have you spoken with JBL Dave? Have you spoken with me about technical stuff? Do you have an agenda here? If so, please elaborate so that JBL can respond with some semblance of reality.

Of course, your statement is probably just a bit of levity. And in good sport. At least that is the way I am taking it.

It would have been nice to go to this club based show once again. We would of seen a lot of our friends and talked to many folks who do not have a clue, but certainly have opinions. Like, “why don’t you have dropped footboxes”, what donor car do you use, where did you get those valve covers, what are the funny round things on the suspension, they will never work, what do you mean by “anti-roll bars, and finally, My cousin has a real one, therefore I know everything about all cars.

Edley. Please note that I have once again had a few adult beverages and anything said above I will feel bad about tomorrow. (At least until the hangover goes away)
