GN Spyder is there on its maiden voyage. I'm in about the middle of the building with the black Buick's.
Friday: 3 PM to 10:30 PM
Saturday 10 AM to 11 PM
Sunday 10 AM to 7 PM
Stop by and check out the street stuff. Maybe next year we'll get into the show with a Cobra Club presence. Not too many Cobra's there so it'd be a hit.

what was the deal with the two seats? Both of them were mounted crooked, looked like there wasn't enough room for the seat backs or something. What's it like to drive when your spine is twisted away from the pedals? It's not like it's a pure design where they couldn't leave enough room for the seats, is it?
Nice Cheetah there too. Seats looked more comfortable  |

Seats:
That's how they fit, FFR designed it that way. Actually I think they designed the cockpit and thought about seats later. But, the pedals are in the same plane, so you actually sit straight in the "skewed" position. I struggled with the seats and that was the best it would fit. Hey, if you don't want to carry on a conversation with the passenger, it's a perfect excuse!
I know it looks odd, but there's really no way to fix it unless I reconstuct the trans tunnel, then it would weaken the frame connection. I tried different seats, same problem. There's not a lot of room to place the tracks.
<Doh! Stupid design flaw!>
