Default Mothers day at Willow Springs open track

Not sure if you can still enter a car but here is the place to see real Cobras, replica Cobras, Shelbys, GT40s and whatnot all there at the same time on the same track where the original Cobras were first tested.
Here's the whole news release--I'll be there with some art and hoping to get a good photo with good old fashioned film....

COCOA Open Track at Willow Springs #76
May 8th & 9th, 2010

Entries must be in by May 1st.


Entry Form Link

Follow link to an introduction to the fun and requirements of Open Track.

The following is from Lynn Park who can be reached at
818 790-0427. Call him with any questions that you may have. Print the entry form, fill it in and send it to Lynn along with check and a photo of your car.


May is almost upon us and so is another fun-filled weekend at Willow Springs International Raceway with the Cobra Owners Club.

The event is open to all years of Ford powered performance cars. We will accept early cars first, and then fill available spots with late model cars (1980 and later). So... all you late model owners who want to run should get your entries in right away.

Remember, this is not a race and there are no awards. We go to Willow Springs to have a fun, safe weekend with our cars.

You do not need a racecar to participate; most of the entries are street driven vehicles. The whole idea of this event is to offer an opportunity to drive our high performance cars as they were intended to be driven.

Cars will be teched at the track, but make sure your car is ready before you come out... good brakes and tires, no leaks, battery fastened down, wheels on tight, two throttle return springs, no loose junk in the trunk or back seat. Requirements are: COMMON SENSE, SNELL SA 2000 HELMET, seat belts (lap belts OK), fire extinguisher - which must be mounted with a METAL bracket.

We will be using the Oxford Suites again located at the 14 Freeway & Ave. K:

Oxford Suites
1651 West Avenue K
Lancaster
800 522-3050

Breakfast is included in the rate. Mention the Cobra Owners Club when you make your reservation. There isn't a spot for a banquet, so we are on our own for dinner Saturday evening. There is a Marie Calendar's next door to the Oxford Suites.

There are no confirmations sent out for this event I'll call you if you're not accepted. If you don't hear from me, just show up Saturday May 8th, BY 9 AM FOR THE MANDATORY DRIVERS MEETING.

This event will also include the annual Shelby American Employee reunion. There will be opportunities for you to give rides to the former SA employees as well as a chance some of us to attend the special lunch for the former employees.

For those of you who want to give rides, just have your passenger seat ready - make sure there is a seat belt.

For those of you that want to attend the lunch, contact Bob Shaw 714-9621776 to make arrangements.

Thanks Jamo... Still learning a lot and still turning in a bit too early on 1, 5 and 9. Got better tires (Nitto NT05's) and added a degree of negative camber all the way round - big improvement! Now need better brakes (pads may be enough) so I can feel confident staying on the gas longer down the straights. Bigger balls wouldn't hurt either...
