Guy,
I have sold my Cobra made the deal today on the sale. I well have it for while tell its paid for. Lets get out this year and run our Cobra or what ever you have. I"m glad its a new year and all that has happen here in the NW with the loss of Steve and the police officer and Jim selling his Cobra its time to enjoy what we have family, friends , our faith in the human race. The weather well be getting better so let me know when someone wants to go for spin.

Hey Andy-how about some kinda overnight or longer trips this summer. I'll finally be on the road and have the time-where could we go? maybe Montana. anyone got any ideas-suggestions-dates? now would be a good time to start dreaming and planning.

Bob,
The run to the Sun Dale McBain run is always a great over night trip. I havent gone as I have always been out of town. I know all that have gone have had a great time. Also the Oregon club is trying to plan some trips.

Took the Cobra out today it was cool the roads where dry. Cobra ran good. Got lots of high fives. New clutch works great.

I got out for a little while also yesterday. I'm trying to get a few miles on the new shocks and springs so I can do the final adjustments.

It was a little cool, but it was still better than working.

Mine is still in refurbish stage, track take a toll on things, had to get heads redone as valve springs were @ 50% of the desired strength and was getting valve float, replacing some of the aluminum and all the insulation, next its the dash (going to have a modular one made) and then the fuel cell will be final. Need to get all this done by Feb for yearly race inspection.

I just moved here from Texas, so was running NASA FFR Class, now here I will run IRDC Conference (have to apply for licence), so there are 12 races in 2010, so it will be PIR, PR, ORP, BC (some track in BC) and 1 other place. So this refurbish is first since it was built in 2004/5, still same engine but 3rd transmission and other parts. May also be time for paint but will have to see how the budget holds out and if there are reasonable painters up here.
