Hey Jim:
You've done it again! Do you guy ever have an event when it's not a Skip Barber Race Weekend? Is Nick still doing Saturdays at the Snakepit?

Hey Bob...not to worry...hopefully we can meet again with the group at Port Jeff real soon ? That is always a fun day. There is also new shop in Port Jeff called Powersurge Performance who has been inviting us and will soon have a chassis dyno. We'll give you the heads up on that one !
Maxrpm.....So...You're the guy we all saw on the video over the winter !!!! Nice photo !

Yeah that was me, but please don't hold that against me. I had nothing to do with the soundtrack or music video, I dont' wear my hat sideways or have my underwear hanging outta my pants. I just went there for the "legal" streetracing. There was another Cobra there too (green/white stripes) but I didn't get to race him. I think it was an ERA but I'm not sure. I will check out your buddy Nicks shop this weekend, it's conveniently located at the shutdown area of Edison...

Jim,
I will be there. Did you know that my Snake was the 2nd one that Nick powered up 3 years ago ??? He is truly a master mechanic. He is currently doing a Paxton install on a 351/385 crate and I want to see the dyno results before I jump. You guys coming to the OPEN HOUSE this Saturday will get the oppurtinity to talk to one of the best Cobra mechanics around and see his work in progress. He does installs and modification and he doesn't just work on Snakes. He also does work on all domestic and foreign cars, and he treats all vehicles like they are his own. I am hoping to see a great turnout for his OPEN HOUSE this Saturday (May 15th).

Later..............John

Had a terrific time at the OPEN HOUSE Saturday. Met a lot of new faces and answered a lot of questions. Chris has to be the best detailer I have ever seen. He makes the Snakes shed there skins and look re-born. He has developed a technique that's all his own and you can see that he takes a lot of pride in his profession. Nick has him detailing every new Cobra upon completion of his install. The new owner is presented with a Cobra with a superior install and shining like a jewel. It all starts at Snakepit Automotive in Freeport, New York. The owner is Bill Ostrower and he is the guy that will put you in the drivers seat. Call him to set up an appointment (516-379-1300 EXT 104 or 516-771-8090) or drop in on any Saturday and view the Daytona Coupes and 427SC roadsters that he has in stock. He carries a large inventory in many different colors and you could be driving your own in less than a month. Drop in on a Saturday and have breakfast with Bill and other Cobral owners.
