Well folks,
Here we are a week away from the run to the mountain. As of right now, it looks like the weather is going to be great! If I have counted my list right we will have 11 cobras. For those of you who are still thinking about doing the trip and have not yet RSVP'd, now is the time.

G.R.,
Sorry to hear you will not be able to make it. Also, for those of you who are going to do the trip, remember to bring cash to get into the Nationional Park. Depending on time...we may try to hit Sunrise on the back side of the mountain as well.
P.S. The weather is still looking like Sun and high 70's

Jake,
My wife and I will be there, driving Mark Bridgwater's FFR. I think we will be driving down from Renton with Dave Lowell (and wife?) and Wayne (and wife).

Well Jake, I was holding on till the bitter end but looks like it will be a 3473 mile trip (one way) for me so I will have to pass. You can have our weather though, hot and humid with the temps approaching 100 degree plus. Hey wheres the AC switch for my Cobra ? Oh I forgot, that was an option I didn't order. Anyhow, sorry to miss the run, I am sure you guys will have a great time. Take care and have fun

Keith,
It is good to see you are still out there. I can't believe you are going to let a few miles stop you from coming this year . I hope all is good with you and you family.

Jake,
I am picking up my rider at the Cheveron on Meridian and the old Kapowson HYW. What time do you think you can meet us up there. I was planing on being there at 0945 just to be on the safe side.
Sound good to you.
Oh yeah motors done installed and ready to be started in the AM by the builder. It is going to be a fun run for me this year.
Later
Matt

Tom builds one hella-fine motor based on a Y block. He can also 'trick' it out pretty good!
Check my photo gallery for some of Tom's handiwork!
66' 427fe side oiler, bored & stroked to 474ci. Alum. heads w/stage III port job, roller cam, Erson roller rockers, 850 Demon carb on a Edelbrock RPM Performer intake manifold, Aviaid oil pan. 10.2 compression, runs on pump gas. Balanced & Blueprinted 600hp/600tq!

P.S. You can also see it on Tom's web page, or at his shop, where it waits for my car to be delivered!
