Requested and received a copy for my 61st birthday, July 13th. Read it in a couple days, found hard to set aside.
Was part of Hal Keck's Cobra team in the mid 60's to early 70's, he started with a 289 model (CSX2127) and then the "427" (CSX3008). We thought we were a big fish in the Northeast SCCA region. Won the A/P SCCA Nationals in 1965 for Archway Ford and Shelby. Raced at Sebring with success.Hal was also the co-driver with Jo Schlesser when he won the GT class in the Daytona cpe at Daytona. Went on to win several races in the Northeast US until Scca did away with A/P.
After reading your book, I realize, we were just a small fish in a much larger Ocean. Thanks for the book, enjoyed every chapter and all the information, knew a little about this story, but now I know the rest.
