I do have a question though, what is the best way to de-bug a Cobra radiator???? I was thinking of leaving the sprinkler on it for 20 mins and using a soft brush?
The best stuff....... everyday dishwashing liquid. Just soak, for a while and then wash off with hose.

my lack of ability on the hill climb would have boosted your spirits though!

What a cool weekend! Had so much fun! Well done to John White on King Cobra, absolutely dominant this weekend! Also a well done to all the class winners, times and records were smashed by a lot of people this year.

Thanks to the Cobra clubs from around Australia for supporting the event, NSW club for organising it and also all the volunteers for their help so we can go racing.

Great to catch up with everyone again, always a fantastic weekend filled with fun and laughs.

Lastly, thanks to Dad for giving me a steer. I know i'm hard on the equipment and to be honest i'm not sure how the car stands up to the double punishment that we both give it!

Here are some videos...

Here's a little video compilation of the various events from me.

Nice little spin on the fish hook when I got 5th instead of 3rd and broke my concentration. Also missed getting into 2nd on the Slalom.

Apologies for some of the audio - I didn't tape down the ext mic cable well enough.

All good fun.

cheers

I try not to! Either way, he is used to it now and the 2 second margin has become the new benchmark for him!

Your times are steadily improving so if he's maintaining the same margin that means he's improving too.

I think it's awesome that you both can share the fun.

Cheers

Exactly our logic. We're both improving at a steady rate and if one us improves it motivates the other to push a bit harder. Without both of us driving, neither of us would be doing the lap times we do in my opinion.

It is great sharing the fun as father and son for sure!

..........So I had a dream last night. I was on a track with evil spirits chasing me. I was thinking, if only I was as fast as Madison I could outrun this evil force........

They are normally not released. I know the top 4 off the top of my head:

1st Ron's FFR Daytona (QLD) Dark Grey/Light Grey Stripes
2nd Warren's Harrison (QLD) Dark Grey/Light Grey
3rd Alan's PACE 427 (QLD) (Mid Blue/Silver)
4th John's PACE 427 (QLD) (Mid Blue/White)

If you check out the show and shine photos, these cars were all on the front row of the grid by pure coincidence.

Thanks Craig, was Marks Pace in show and shine, if so do you know where Shelby 2 came.

Unfortunately we got there just as it was finishing.

Yes Mark's PACE 427 was in the show and I have asked my team to see if they can find out which place he came. Even if we cannot make it public knowledge, it will help our understanding of show and shine judging this year and assist us helping our customers to produce better performing show cars.

Mark's is a killer car and will be a force next year. I assume it just wasn't finished enough to score high enough to get a trophy this year. You really have to finish every area to a consistent standard.

I expect that even though it was unfinished, it still scored very well.

Mark decided to go with our fully polished 18" Halibrand Pin Drive Wheel upgrade and I reckon they look absolutely killer with his body colour choice. Plus he has our matching big brake upgrade, so that completes the look.
