Fall Classic at Summit Point

Talk about frustrating.  After numerous problems with the Cobra engine over the last month, we picked up the car (with yet another rebuild) on Friday and headed to the track.  Let's make a long story short:  the engine failed on the first lap.  A new engine arrived sometime after midnight on Saturday.  We put it in and promptly blew it up on the first lap of qualifying.  Noooooot fun!  Four blown engines in just four weeks.  Grrr.  The good news is that Bobbie drove her pink car very well.  She got her solo endorsement and had a fun time playing.

Later, Dan took the pink car out and got a hard-fought win against Jim Thill.

We weren't the only ones having trouble:  Ed from Orlando took his beautiful Cobra out, but ended up in the trees while Harry was playing instructor.  Miraculously, the car was not seriously hurt (and neither were the occupants).  Fellow Cobra-owner Terry Shank brought out some amazing new fiberglass repair kit and basically put the car together in no time.  Rob Mau had brake problems and nearly set his car on fire.
