Hey Ron,
We meet once a month for the NorCal Cobras group, 3rd Saturday of every month; but this is mostly street guys and Cobras. See the NorCal forum here on CC. Most of the full on track guys, shop owners, and ongoing builders around here meet at the monthly River City Shelby Club group meeting on the 1st Wednesday of every month, after work, or just at various shops as we all seem to run into each other shooting the shi%. As for Thursday afternoon at WSCB, that's when all the major Tech inpsection is going on and getting wrapped up for Friday; so that's probably not a good time. Maybe we could set something up down the road where a group just gets together here in CA and does some comparable evaluation backroad driving. For me, it takes more than just a quick run on a track to evaluate something; I like to try varying conditions based on how the car is used 75% or more of the time. i.e. For example, my own car would behave much differently if I had it set up for the track tires/springs/adjustments vs. street use. If you want to do a track-only evaluation, we could possibly set something up with one of the instructors at the Bash, on a private basis, late in the afternoon on Friday. There are two or three instructors we could work on with this. Between them on the track and myself more so on the street applications, we've all probably driven at least 30 different type Cobra replica makes, and including originals, etc.
