I don't know when "SAAC-37" is. I am an old fellow, who most likely has very slow reflexes. The unit is specific built for the track. Here in Canada, I will only be allowed to drive the unit on the street, and track days, if I belong to a club. I have wanted this unit since I was 20. This summer I will be 62. 87 % of the car is hand manufactured, to race specs. SunDude, I think you live in Ottawa. Thats a good six hours from me. I could send you answers to specific questions by P.M. I am just a guy who did not have the ability to build the car myself. I had it built by a master machinest who has built over 40 custom cars. BRM is a one man opperation. He has the experience, and knowledge to build a very nice car. The car is inspected by the DOT and comes licenced and insurable. These were important to me. The car is too expensive to take the unit to the drags, or street race it.

SAAC-37 is the 37th annual convention of the Shelby American Automobile Club, which is taking place Jun 7-9 at Watkins Glen race track. The convention is a mix of car show, vendor stalls, social gatherings and optional track time. I put together a summary of the event over at the FFR forum if you want more info. It'll be my first time going.

I am familiar with BRM and had contacted them back when I was shopping for my Cobra replica. And I once met a guy from Hawkesbury who built his own BRM.

I know what it's like to yearn for one of these wonderful beasts. My wait took about 33 years, but it was worth it. I used to wonder if the reality of owning a Cobra could ever live up to the fantasy of it. But the good news is: It does!!
