It's back!

been spending alot of time in my garage working on my FFR Cobra. All new suspension, trans rebuilt, getting it ready for hopefully a fun season on the track & road

We're back to our original time of year, provide a day to pull your ride out of the garage, dust it off, and have some fun.

Again, 9AM to Noon in the rear lot, plenty of parking, just show up and have fun!

More details as we work on it.  Still in the development stage

Working on putting together an open track event for Shelby, Mustangs, and Fords. Would be at Pocono Raceway, North Course. Guessing at $250-300 per car. Two Shelby only run groups, beginner and advanced. 4 or 5 20 minute sessions and class for novices. Working on possible instructors. Will also have a morning and afternoon touring session, paced, like lunch laps. Small cost. Working out the details, but want to gauge interest. We need 40 cars to make it fly.

With the national convention still in question (if at all), and rumored to be out west, here's a chance for the East Coast to get together, have a low-key day at the track. You could even just be there and be social.

So, right now wanting to see if there's enough interest. Please respond either saying a hearty "YES!!!" and you would sign up, "Yes, maybe", "Yes, I'd like to do the touring laps", or "No, how dare you want me to run my precious car on the track!!!".

Many thanks and looking forwards to hearing your answers, comments, suggestions.

Looking at the stripes on the hood. Do they taper like they are supposed to?
Brake pedal - did Shelby's have the disc pad on the pedal?

Agreed in downsizing to a smaller venue with a fun track. I have always been a huge proponent in finding a good club track, such at the Autobahn in Chicago, and build  a fun event around that.

I've got this wonderful bridge for sale. Lots of stone work, easy access, used gently....

I had good experiences with a clutch Kit by ZOOM on my 68 SB and 69 SCJ. But a heavier pedal. 3- finger.  I run a kit by SPEC in the Cobra, very durable after all the track abuse. Good pedal, not hard. Diaphragm style. I tried the Ford Motorsports King Cobra clutch, the clutch disc did not hold up. But then again, I was doing 7ooo RPM downshifts on the track, and that clutch is not designed for higher RPM.

Many will chime in, many great choices. Listen and digest, ask questions.

There is a voltage regulator for the gauges behind the dash. Also the Ammeter? I'd also look at the voltage regulator up front

A very deep source oh knowledge gone silent.

Condolences to all

Spent many years working on points cars in the shop. We were a dealer for Standard Ignition Products, and thier top line parts were the "Blue Streak" parts. Back then, one of the best replacement parts. Been many years, have forgotten the part numbers.

BTW - a few years back I gave Bill Collins a box full of Ford Points. Single, dual, and Accel parts.

If you like that, then be part of the 2021 North east Regional Shelby meet!

Only those who register for the full weekend will be part of this fun. We'll have a competition for the best thrower, winner gets a special engraved axe. Special Go-Kart run groups for Shelby drivers (Cash for laps, but reduced rates).

More details to come.....
