I've been looking around but can't seem to locate a club in WNY. Anyone on here had the same issue or maybe found one?

Not sure that there is a cobra car club in Western NY per se. I am in the Rochester area. There are several people with cobras, mostly Superformance, in the Buffalo area. Mark IV (Rick Muck) is the dealer in that area. Welcome on board. There is some good Knowledge in this area.

Just saw a fluorescent green/ black striped cobra on rte. 104 in Ontario today. I'm further out , 1/2 way to Syracuse.

I have seen that one in the Rochester area last year. Not sure who it is. I had mine out for a cruise today. The weather was great. Getting it ready for the spring, just ordered a new Optima redtop, the old one just wasn't holding a charge anymore, and changed the fuel filter. Wolcott is not that far away.

IT was a great day today. I drove mine to get the initial inspection and drop of the new Mickey Thompsons to get installed on saturday. Damn you folks were right about the BFG's, rear end broke loose (minor) a few times on the way there and back.

Those BFG's are the quickest way to an early grave

You will definitely notice the difference with the new tires. But still, be careful! Any tire has the potential to brake loose with the power and light rear-ends that these cars have. Remember, no traction control, only your quick and hopefully accurate responses

Keep in mind we do laps at the Watkins Glen Vintage Grand Prix every year during the lunch break. There is no cost for this above your admission however you must register with us to do so.

While we do this for our Superformance customers, we do allow some "brand X" cars like 1795's ERA to join in.

Being that I will be racing at the Vintage Race at Watkins Glen this year, unless I do something stupid with the race car beforehand

, there should be an open slot for another brand "X" car. You should check it out. It is a bast going around the track at Watkins Glen and it is what got me to go out and get my SCCA race license.
