[Jim Maxwell]

You guys are entirely too kind. I showed this thread to my wife and she said, " Who is this Jim Maxwell they are talking about?"!!!!
I had an absolute ball at SAAC-28. We put over 1000 miles each on CSX 2401 and CSX 2490. Unfortunately, 2149 doesn't run yet, or we would have driven it there too! I confess that I towed 3288 in a trailer and I feel guilty about it. But the weak excuses are that I almost always break something and its nice to have a way to get the remains home. Also, the 40 year old top for the 289 has a huge rip in it I just recently discovered. I was going to drive 3288 home and follow with the empty trailer, but it rained for 8 straight hours on the trip home, so I chickened out.
Rob Cotter drove 2401 over and back with help from my brother-in-law, Paul Albert, two major motorheads.
Rob made the comment at the end of the tripo that he suspects that he has now driven an original Cobra for more miles and more hours than almost all current owners of original cars, and I think he's right! I'm sure he has the record for driving them in the rain---all the way there and back with NO wipers! But a big bottle of Rain-X.
David, Thanks so much for the round of drinks. I apologize for not thanking you earlier, but after 4 beers, I barely made it to the Shelby evening program!
I got to meet Ron Richards (Computerworks) too. What a great guy! He obviously had fun, always with a huge smile on his face as he looked over the many Cobras at the meet.
The group of Unique Cobras was incredible, and they drove the heck out of them out on the track. Good for them!!!!
I'll post some pictures as soon as I get them back from processing.
I have to admit that I like to watch others enjoy my cars. I would be standing around talking at a remote site at the track and one of my cars would go cruising by, usually with my brother at the wheel. His son's boss doesn't believe his uncle has a couple of real Cobras, so he now has photos of himself at the wheel driving to show him. He is so excited!!
