I will start by saying I have a Superformance Cobra and love it.
Now, having said that, I had a recent experience at the Reptile Roundup II where my car would not start for the track sessions on Friday. Everyone around was very helpful to try to rectify the problem, but the ones that stand out most were the guys from Backdraft. I had at least 2 or 3 helping try to find the problem, changing coils, main MSD box, you name it. This went on for most of the day until Dennis Olhoft informed us that the problem was a common one in the MSD distributor, which he ulitmately replaced for me at his shop.
My point here is that Tony Martin, Reg and his whole crew had nothing to gain from helping me, and especially a SFP car.
Tony even offered me the drivers seat in the Run & Gun Cobra, which I declined (as hard as it was) seeing as how I was not a potential buyer for one of their cars. However, Eng. Ed took him up on the offer and turned in some pretty remarkable times in the car. I can only imagine how well they treat their REAL customers. I know several of them, and all say very good things.
I would like to THANK ALL who were around to try to help in my day of need and despair - But A SPECIAL THANKS TO TONY AND REG, AND ALL THE GUYS at Backdraft.
I would be remiss if I also didn't say a good word about Dennis Olhoft, who took my car back to his shop and replaced the distributor (at no cost - I bought my car from Doug Reed) and also gave the car a complete going over and tighting of any loose fittings, shift lever, valve covers, etc. He only charged me for the alum catch can I requested that he install.
This is just another example, of how I have found the Cobra community to work - it is one of the most enjoyable experiences in my life.
To Dennis and Tony: You guys put on a hell of a "track show" for all of us that will not be forgotten soon.
Thanks to all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And Happy Holidays to everyone here on CC.
