AND, this year...I am going to try and get a 'track day' set up for those who want to take a spin, at 'Driveway Austin' this March. If anyone appropriate from the 'Austin Cobra Club' reads this, would you give me a contact name/email etc., and we can start to plan this NOW.

'Driveway Austin' will be a 2.5 mile road track (NOT AN OVAL) with some fun elevation changes and corners (e.g. one that we are designing is the exact mirror of 'The Corkscrew' at Laguna Seca), just down 183 near the Austin airport. It is currently being 'graded' and then 'paved' ready for a formal opening of the full track on December 9th, and we have substantial construction plans for private garages, pool, clubhouse and commercial facilities all through 2008. Not sure exactly what buildings will be up by by March, but I will post a track layout on my picture page as soon as I can and let everyone know. The 34' wide track will be cut through the trees in about 90 acres of land between a loop of the Colorado river just 5 minutes from downtown Austin. We are modelling the look & feel on some European tracks, and the closeness of the trees will lend an air of enhanced 'speed perception' as you roar down the back straight. The first four pictures on 'my page' show just a little bit of what the current 3/4 mile track looks like, although this will be the ONLY part of the track that isn't cut through the trees.

Should be a fun circuit, and as I am on the board of directors of Driveway Austin, I would LOVE to help host those Cobra owners who would like to 'stretch' their cars for a day! Perhaps not for everyone, but perhaps an option for some on the Saturday or Sunday!
