EXTRA TRACK DAY before/after event?
Sent an email to ET to see if she was having any "track days" before or after the Bash. She said that if we could get 10-12 cars she would consider it. Anyone else interested in EXTRA TRACK TIME, or if the Track Day event fills up ... this could be an alternative (although more $$$). Will start another thread to get a head count and interest level. Let me know

Ron,
You might chat with LamaLuv, he did this last year and might be doing it again; not sure. Note, HMSA is running their vintage historics and practice on Saturday and Sunday are their official races so the track will be unavailable those days (some of us are going to stay and spectate on Sunday to see the races) but you might see about Thursday the 16th or Monday 21st after that Bash. Pro Control Driving Academy is doing our instruction this year / FYI

Extra Track day
Count me in on an extra track day, preferably Monday, but Wed would also work. I am planning on staying over to watch the race on Sunday anyway, so that would work for me..but if everyone else want to do it on Wed, that works also.
I'm in!!

Folks,
Please post questions and comments regarding "extra track day" to Ron's / SF_SN888KE thread: http://www.clubcobra.com/forums/show...035#post689035
Help us keep the confusion to a minimum. The WSCB is May 17-20, 2007.
Thank you, John

Duane, John and volunteers,
I'm available to help clean up after Sat/Sunday (assuming there is an Extra Track Day Monday). Post what needs to be "cleaned up" and do a sign up list for extra volunteers. We can clean the trash and leaves with our side exhaust!

News Update: Notification to WSCB 2007 Attendees
UPDATE - The Historics Motor Sports Association (HMSA) decided to postpone their race car event at the Fernley Raceway on Saturday and Sunday, and will not be holding it on the same weekend as WSCB.
A this point it appears we'll be getting the entire track to ourselves on Friday, just like last year. We are working on seeing if a 4th rungroup can be added in place of the test/tune group HMSA was going to run. We'll have even more car/trailer parking at the hotel facility and more private track time now as a result. If you by chance have any questions, concerns, or issues with this change by HMSA not being there the same weekend as WSCB, please contact me with your questions or concerns before December 25th, 2006. So far, the response I've received from the few people that know about this already is they are cool with this and very much looking forward to WSCB regardless. I hope you all feel the same way.

thats cool. It would have been interesting but does this mean we can fit more people in for track day? Either way, we're planning on having a blast just fine whether the "other guys" were there or not. its cool.
I am still interested in an extra track day, so I go find the appropriate thread to put that in!!

Status Update on WSCB Track Day
WSCB Track Day is full.
If you want to get on the waiting list should anything change (not sure how), or if we somehow come up with another run group I'll put you on the waiting list. Email wscb@comcast.net to get on the waiting list.
Thanks, DC

WSCB Registration Update
We still have six months to go until WSCB and more than 1/2 of the WSCB registrations and hotel rooms are gone already.
With coverage in January 2007 Kit Car magazine getting around now, I am seeing seeing a 50% increase in hits on the WSCB website, so I wanted to let people know on Clubcobra so they have a chance to sign up before we fill up on registrations too. Hard to say what's going to happen, but it all looks good for now thanks to everyone for your continued interest in support of WSCB. Thank You.

Will be interesting to see... there are a few others from Eastern US sending emails pondering the trip now too. Got one from Hawaii registered now. Sun Coast Cobras / Backdraft trailered last year, but they came all the way from Southern Florida which was a nice suprise.

Man, I'd like to go. I have to check my wife's calendar; I'm not even sure my car is up to muster on such a long trip; I only have about 450 miles on the new engine/build.
I'll have to play this one by ear but keeping my fingers crossed.

Determination is the key.
289_FIA,
Hehehehehehe.... well now that you mention it...Just to give you a quick heads up on this particular topic of interest, you are engaging yourself here into possible exciting discussion with a few or more attendees if you are concerned about only driving only 450 miles, with a car that has already been on the road at least 200+ miles
We had at least 10 people last year with last minute cars who arrived after doing final construction/assembly THE DAY and NIGHT BEFORE THE COBRA BASH, and some driving upwards of 2,000+ miles to get there. I'm in complete awe of some of these people and their tenacity.
The passion of some of these people and their determinination to finish their cars, or upgrades, and drive their cars to WSCB is approaching the Sturgess level now. To me, this is one of the most exciting aspects about the WSCB people, and their focus and determination to attend - no matter the gamble.
The happy end to the story is they all made it.

85 miles.....
Hi,
I swapped out my big 460 / C6 combo for a home rebuild of a '88 302 mustang engine and a brand new PA AOD with 2,400 stall,new shortened driveshaft and home made headers,etc.
I had only run it in the garage until 2 weeks before the event,then got insurance and took it for a drive. pinged badly so my new distributor was pulled and recurved,got it back 1 week to go and took some short trips around home. So we loaded up with 85 miles on her and a fresh oil change and hit the road for a 2,000 mile round trip to WSCB 06.
We blew a trans line 4 miles out of Susanville in the dark. So the 1st parts guy gave me gas line instead of hi pressure trans line. No matter ,we were on our way again thanks to a couple of great people in Susanville and made the Nugget the next morning.
Had to change the motor out with the small block and overdrive as the MRS refused to go that far with a BELLOWING big block revving in our ears,we were deaf for 2 days after last year, hehe.....
She was ever so pleased with the overdrive and 2 1/2 times the gas mileage.
Too much FUN, EH?
Perry
Hey Tim,just your loop to the east will be more than me, John, I think you are 70 miles farther than me
Hope to see you Guys there.
Perry.
