DesertFox Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 I have been invited to the race and am planning on attending. Although I'm a traitor and now drive a FFR AC Cobra Roadster, I did own a 64 Stingray and 67 Stingray in my younger days. So, perhaps I can be partially accepted. If this is the car I'm thinking of (saw you at the Tour Event in San Diego) This thing is a freaking beast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CobraVern Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 I was in San Diego, running last in my class, as usual. The car has a small block ford (302) stroked to a 347, T5 Trans, 8.8 rear end with Torsen 2tr, Ohlin TTX shocks, aerospace 4 piston calipers, 315 front 335 rear tires, blah blah blah and all my money. Thanks for the replies. This probably the first time I've ever posted something and it was hard for me to figure out how to reply. I am a member of FFCARS.com and a local Utah Cobra Club, but have never been to an event because our SCCA season is always conflicting with their schedule. I sold my 64 Stingray for $900 to buy and Opel Station Wagon per wife's instructions that I had to become a family man. The 67 with a big block (427 bored to 454) was stolen. I wish I had the insight to have kept the 64. I would have been a winner on all accounts: I would have the 64 and wouldn't have the wife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest badbobs95 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 If I can still walk, I'm goin! I learned how to drift the hard way, in the snow and ice. What a blast. I've been told how incredibly stupid it would be for me to do this. Normally that would be right up my alley but this time I'd better listen. Maybe I'll just come out and watch everybody have a blast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krome Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Great!! I invited Vern to come along, and I see that he already introduced himself. His car is completely bad-ass and lust worthy. ;) I did want to mention that I may not be able to join in, my shoulder is messed up and there is a chance I will be going under the knife. In return for my potential absence, I have fronted not one replacement, but TWO, as my husband will also be attending to tune several cars. Is this where I put in their sandwich orders?

Desertdawg Posted October 31, 2013 Author Share Posted October 31, 2013 Is this where I put in their sandwich orders? If your sending your husband then you should make his sammies before you go to the doctors... make extra's for us to Wow, so my licensed 17 year old can't come? That blows.Sorry Sean, I don't know if this is an insurance issue or what... Elliot, just bring the rice and the red head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glennhl Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Please count me in. I'll have to knock the rust off to run though. The Corvette is not rusty, just me, I haven't run a Solo 2 event in a few years. Looking forward to the autocross.Thanks,Glenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigfoot Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 My attendance is now in jeopardy. I have an idler pulley screaming like crazy and I can't drive the car like this. I'm going to try and get it replaced this week...but it's a serious pain in the ass to replace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chameleon Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Dawg, are we going to be able to extend the course to the west onto the skid pad area? I thought that was mentioned at some point as a possibility. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim, if it's the coolant reservoir tank, it's an easy R&R. Problem would be finding one. When I got mine yesterday, they said it was the only one in town and would take until Tuesday to ship in.

I thought that was mentioned at some point as a possibility. . . Yes, the plan all along has been to extend Bondurants course out around the skidpad.I have a couple of ideas to look at when I set it up. DanC, heres a link to a view of the track that we will use. http://goo.gl/maps/zBjHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
