The action shots are NOT the best; sorry, my lens isn't that fast (still eyeing Dave's ).

But here they are anyway; I have to say this was an enjoyable day and the Trans-AM races were great to watch.

Pictures posted in the order they were taken:

Good to see a couple of the cars from the Shelby American Collection there, and especially #98 (Miles car) on the track.

I'm sure that the Daytona Coupe #13 is from Larry H. Miller's collection. It rotates between Salt Lake and Boulder. It's great to see it up close.

My throttle linkage broke on the track. I made a temp repair using my shoe string to get back to the garage. A permanent fix was made in short order and I was back on the track for the next session. Great fun, I had a blast.

Great Pics from the #23 Blue SPF. Thank You!

Does anyone recognize who is driving the Red with White stripped SPF Cobra (15" GY GTS's) above? He is from the Sacramento area. I met him in on the pre-grid for the parade lap and I need to contact him.

It would be great to get his club cobra handle.

Thanks,
Dan

Dan,

That would be Ed. His handle here is "Pooreds".

Great pics Herman.

Wow! Awesome pictures.
I'm trying to decide if I could have one, what car would I pick?

Great pics Herman!!

It was great being able to wander around on pit row during the Trans Am events....felt like I was transported back in time.

I was up on Saturday as well with Herman and a few of the local CC guys. Also got a chance to meet some fellow 'on line' Club Cobra members in person for the first time, which was very cool and there was no end to the great cars

Enjoy !

Tim, nice in-car photos!!! Wish I hooked up with someone; would have lent out my Countour HD to stick on a windshield.

SFM5R002
Save that GT350.....
Can only be original once. Ok, maybe it does need a little.

Hans Schmidt was a local (Buffalo boy, actually "Lakeshore" and where did his money come from?) and a cousin of one of my good, younger days friends. I assure you, the lettering on "El Cid" was not that good circa 1965!

And who knows about the the long term "bath" the car took and at who's hands it was at?

I know Lynn and I know he is enjoying the car.....

SFM5R002 is a permanent resident at the Shelby American Collection near Boulder, CO. The "restoration to being any day now" has been there since I can recall. I hope they leave it alone.

289FIA Cobra,

Thanks for the pics. If you should have anymore of the #15 Grabber Blue 70 Boss 302 I would really appreciate it if you would send them to me. That is my car and we forgot to bring a camera to the event. macoffman1975@att.net

Thanks, FIA Mike
