Grumpy,

It is my thinking that there would be only one driver for the track driving part.

I really do not care who that driver is as long as they are not a factory (read COBRA manufacturer) associated driver.

It would be a good idea that the driver has some reasonable level of experience, maybe a pro driver like John Morton. He has a bunch of Cobra experience and would certainly be able to wring out the best in each car.

Rick,

I think that there should be a separate Coupe division. Aero means a bunch. There are quite a few coupe manufacturers now and I think that a head to head run of them would be cool as well. Same rules as for the roadsters.

Once again, I do not care who the driver is, as long as they are not associated with any manufacturer.

I think that the COCOA event at Willow would be a very good place for this. This event could be run on Friday during the test day and would be a great lead in to the weekend. (The Vegas thing that they do might work as well. But I do not know if the track is available on Friday prior to the event.)

I hope that all the manufacturers will step up to the plate.

It would great fun and one could probably get the magazines and maybe even speedvision(Speed TV)/Tommy Kendal to cover the event. After all, this would be just as popular as the Porsche owners club thing that they broadcast every year. (Actually more so in my opinion.)
