That 1967 Shelby Cobra is sweet. Imagine all that visibility at the tree and during the run.

On another note, one of the nicest race cars I've ever seen is here, John Stock's new '67 Cobra GT/CA built by PK racecars. I'm sure it will be fast with Patterson Power too! Here are a few pics I took. Make sure to go look at it person if you're here, there are a ton of details that you don't notice in the pics.

Edit: for some reason my phone is only letting me upload 1 pic. I'm going to try to get them all

I think it really looks cool. But I do have a question. Don't you have to have a top on the car? I believe that some cobra's have a optional top?

Apparently it's not required because it was a special order option to get a top.

I'm a diehard Ford guy but that "Cobra" is making S/S look like a joke. I don't like it. My opinion.

Whups, meant Friday... got my days mixed up.

Sorry no reports from me today. Couldn't get the car started. Changed starter, changed battery, then eventually discovered that I had an injector hung open that flooded the #2 cylinder. Got it out and soaking in mineral spirits now, suggested by the guys at the FAST trailer. Gotta put it back together in the morning, change the oil just to be on the safe side, and putter around a bit to make sure that ring reseats well. Ugh. What a day.

On a much more pleasant note, got to sit and chat with Leo in the tower for a little bit this morning.
