:D :rotf:

[97whitevert]

Hey! i try to please! See ya there Stylin' !!!:D

[cobrabitn]

Sorry about the thread Steve. I have been ultra busy this week and I have a ton of pictures and video to give to Rich for the website. I also heard several people said they were going to the drag day when we were out at the Autofair.

Let the racing commence! :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[97whitevert]

Tony- not to worry, its a TEAM effort! why don't ya call me sometime? :rotf:

See everyone at the strip!!:bounce:

[Shon Herron]

If nothing happens I will be there with the PPMPOS ready to eat some snake meat!!!

Ya'll go ahead and get all fat b/c I am hungry!

Cant wait and love to talk smack....

[redsnake99]

I plan to attend, 99 Cobra, "Whistler".

:bounce: :bounce:

[03Venom]

Ill be there! Looking for 11's

[firebirdls1us]

I'll also be there and lets all pray for some great weather this time!

[JT COBRA]

sorry not going to make it . it is the same weekend as world ford
challenge in st louis MO . going to miss seeing you guys.

are you having a fall drag day ???

see ya Jeff

ps the mach ran 12.01@113.65 with bolt ons

[cobrabitn]

Jeff,

Hate you cannot make it. We have a Fall drag day on November 8, 2003 so you should be able to make that one. ;) Have a good time at the WFC in St Louis!:bounce:

[firebirdls1us]

Hey JT,
How is the Cobra running these days? I finally got around to the H/C on mine but can't find a good place to have it tuned like it should be.There is a place in Orlando that can do it but I can't get the time off of work to make the trip.

Later, Robert

[JT COBRA]

havnt had it to the track yet but made 520rwhp without the spray

and it has that too i think it has a high 10 in it if i can hook it

want to try to on radials ( who knows ) the dragway tells all
probably wont get it to track until next weekend i will let you
know planning on the fall event though

thanks Jeff
:cool:

[firebirdls1us]

that sounds good about the 03,I was hoping mine would do better than it has with the H/C but I know it's my tuning it's hard to find someone around here to tune mine.If I wasn't so computer dumb I would buy ls-1 edit and give it a shot.I tried some of those Nitto's and I couldn't get my car too hook up with them like yours did.The best I could get with them was 1.80

[smashedheadcat]

I won't be making this event. I'll be overseas most likely. If I get back (doubtful) I'll be there. I'll make the next drag day hopefully. Heck, i'll make an event sometime hopefully.

[Ken 01-Cobra]

Well Josh, if you DO get back to the world, you WILL be expected to be there. ;) Otherwise, we have one in November, I think. Hopefully you can make that one.

[smashedheadcat]

Believe me, you won't have to twist my arm to get me to a drag day:D. If i'm around, even if my car isn't tuned yet, i'll go, but won't run. If it's tuned, the drag radials will get a workout;)!!

[sn8kbit]

Gonna try not to make promises on this, but as of now, myself, my dad, his friend Gary, and another gentleman named Geoff will be there. Should have my car back end of this week.

1 99 cobra
1 03 Mach
1 01 Bullit
1 02 GT

My father's neighbor expressed an interest a while back, he has what I believe is an 87-88 LX coupe.

[cobrabitn]

Hope y'all can make it Steve. We already have 31 people preregistered and a buttload that say they are coming from the GA F-body club. Should be a fun event! :bounce:

[97whitevert]

That would be great Steve!!! (psst, don't tell tony but for the right $$$ i'll just give you a trophy... ;) ):rotf:

[White Venom]

i'll be their with 3 guests and their car's.

[smashedheadcat]

I heard a rumor of us getting outta here in a few weeks:doubt:.......... just a rumor though. That'd make it close. BTW. Cobra just got it's 315/35 nitto drag radials on... so it's getting ready :D

[Big Daddy]

Now how did you put tires on your Cobra from the Sandbox??? THAT is a NEAT TRICK! :D :D ;) ;)

[Ken 01-Cobra]

Well, I guess everyone knows I will be there. ;)

Josh...it would be overly cool if you could make it! I hope that things work out so you can get home in time. :D

[smashedheadcat]

:D:D:D Very very sneaky;). I ordered them from www.onlinetires.com and had them sent to the house. My roommate is still there, so he took the liberty of putting them on. I trust him with my car. He knows better than to beat on it........... I hope;)

I'm hoping, but i'm not sure if it's doable. There are a few things working in my favor, but there are also somethings against me. I guess CNN called it a victory??? That's what I heard anyway. I just wish they'd keep their mouth shut (news). I wonder how they'd feel if their young son was on the front lines? "So Sadaam, how surprised will you be on April 16th, at 4:52pm, when the 3rd Marine Infantry division comes to your house and walks through your front door??"

That is the price we pay for a "free" press, unfortunately. You see, the conspiracy theorists are everywhere, and if there ain't reporters reporting what is "really" going on, then these people are free to come up with all kinds of crap. Unfortunately, the reporters are the best intelligence service for the enemy that has ever been. :( I personally think it is bull, but nobody asks me my opinions. ;)

[2KWhiteSnake]

Ken,
Quick Question. So the 03 Half-Shafts WILL work in my 01? I heard people say yes, and others say no. What's the straight truth with respect to the 03 half shafts?

Thanks,
Craig

[Ken 01-Cobra]

They dropped right in. As far as I know, there were no issues at all with them. (the work was done at a Ford dealership...long story) I hope to get the car to the track soon and test the theory that they can take more punishment than the 01's could! ;)

And if it means anything, I had an SVT engineer confirm that the 2003 halfshafts were a direct drop in replacement for the 2001 shafts. I figure that he should know, so I went with what he said. :D

[smashedheadcat]

That's the press for ya I guess. I guess we just have to live with it ya know. It'd make it harder for them if we didn't offer them rides everywhere, or give them food and water everyday. But, they are pretty cool. Really gutsy, but they seem to put theirselves in harms way for wrong reasons if you ask me. Nobody asks for my opinions either though Ken;).

[smashedheadcat]

Well, it looks like I'm going to be there as well. I'm gonna be back from the sand in time. Just need to get my tune, and I'm searching for a 6pt cage. Anyone know what the rules are for verts? Is it 13.99 for verts with no roll bar? If I get my 6-pt cage in, do I need the harnesses? Driveshaft Safetly loop requirements? ETC.

[Big Daddy]

All verts must have a rollbar. Beyond that I'm not sure what else. Maybe Tony will grace us with his vast knowledge! ;) ;)

I'm glad you'll be back in time it will be good to see you again! :D :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

I hope I can get one in there then. Thanks for the info Greg and it would be great to see you again too. I may be able to get a cage but I don't want to rush it. I can hold off and get the cage I want if it comes to that. I'd love to run at least once and then get sidelined. :D

[timz06]

Why would verts need a rollbar, normally if you run 14.0 or slower verts can run.?? Same goes for 11.0 or slower for fixed roof cars?

[Big Daddy]

Those are the track rules. NO VERTS AT ALL without a rollball. They own the track they make the rules!

[Shon Herron]

Head gasket takes me out of the show. Very strange happenings, it is leaking but no ill effects except the leaking. Enough that it is unsafe to take it down the strip. I will not have time to fix it before the 17th. Ya'll have fun and burn 'em off for me. I will probably be under the hood that day removing the head(s) so it will be fun!!

2 in a row sucks since I was really looking forward to it, guess my Bday weekend will be spent down there with you...depending on alot of things of course....

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You talk all that trash, then say your "head gasket is leaking". SURRRRRREEEEEE... ;)

Hope you can make the one in the fall!

Trust me, I would much rather come down there and feast on some of the Fords but I dont think the track would even let me make a pass, there is a ton of coolant pumping out. BUT I will be back for more!!!

[cobrabitn]

Hate you cannot make it Shon and I hope you get the General fixed. See you in the Fall. :thumbsup:

Hey Shon...I was just jerking your chain some. From the sounds of it, I am glad I have my nice, reliable Ford that I can drive to the track, beat on all day, and drive home. ;) That beastie of yours seems to be a rather problematical and tempermental beastie, to say the least. ;)

[timz06]

hey ken, are you a death dealer fan? I read all of those books,

tim

[timz06]

too bad about the verts, I was thinking about bringing my 68 firebird convertible, that has a 455 which I built, not real excited about running the vette, since I have a pretty good idea what it can do.

I am actually a Frazetta fan. But yes, I read a lot of SF and fantasy. They've always been my favorite genres.

HA!! Tempremental yes but dang its fast!! Actually, I dont know how fast it is....never made it to a track with PHASE II, PHASE III will be even better!!
I keep hearing how well the Fords put up with the abuse....some how I just dont see my luck going that way...

[Ken 01-Cobra]

What, you mean you MIGHT get it to the track with Phase III? ;) Sorry, I couldn't resist! I know it was fast pre Stage anything.
I keep hearing how well the Fords put up with the abuse....some how I just dont see my luck going that way... Hey, that is why they make all the different types, so everyone can find at least one they like. I am a rather late Ford convert, owning my first one in 99. So far, I've had very good luck with them! Right now, we own 3.

HA!! The car has always performed very well. Now just have to keep it together...it is possible that Phase III will become way more than I expected and will take a while...

[Ken 01-Cobra]

It ALWAYS takes more time, money and patience than expected to make these things do what we want, doesn't it? At least, that has been MY experience!

no kidding...dang hobby...

[smashedheadcat]

I won't have my cage in by the drag day. :( But, i'll still go to meet everyone, and enjoy the smell of the rubber anyway! Looking forward to meeting all of you. My car will be tuned, but if they don't allow the running of the vert, then it'll stay on the side lines. I'll have fun either way.

[Ken 01-Cobra]

Man, that sucks...but you are welcome to drive mine if you want. It ain't as fast as yours, but she should do ok. ;) See ya there, and glad to hear you are back in the world!

[Big Daddy]

Well I'll still be running the 7.5 cyl engine in mine for drag day. TB is taking mine back to Raleigh after the event and putting the new engine in...:D So I guess I'll have to suffer with the current 500 rwhp for the day. ;) ;) ;)

[flynfink]

If my son's soccer team get's knocked out of the running for the state cup this weekend in Raleigh, we'll bring the 94 down and see if we can't destroy the clutch. If they happen to win, we play on Greensboro on Drag Day.

BTW, we put the Steeda quadrant, fire wall adj. and adj. cable in last night. pretty clean install and clutch feels better, but I see a clutch this summer.:( :( Hey Thomas B., who did yours?

It's braket racing anyway...

We took the car over to Banana Motorsports and did the install ourselves. :banana:

Hey Jeff, you can have the clutch out of my car. With what I have now, I made it cry uncle at 4500 RPMs. I have a HD Motorsport pressure plate and McLeod dual performance disk on the way. The current clutch only has about 25K miles on it. There's nothing wrong with it, but it's only rated for 400 hp and I'm making 550 hp. As they say, I have found the weak link.

Hey Finkster, glad you can make it down and you got the clutch quadrant setup. I'm in the same boat as you, clutch is about gone, so I may be limping it back home. :D

:mad: :cussing: :firebounc :bs:

[stylin99]

Well, it's really too soon to judge the weather but that is something of a negative weather report we're looking at. I've seen the weather turn around 100% but at the same time it could rain.

We drove 3.5 hrs each way last March and we got rained out. That was a long way to drive for no track action. I'm really hoping we get a dry track this weekend.

Is there such a thing as a rain date for a rain date? :D

[67Camaro]

I'm bad about remembering....what time do the gates open and what time does the racing start?

Looking forward to it. You guys always put on a great event.

-gw

[Ken 01-Cobra]

Yeah, my only issue is that last time the forecast looked almost EXACTLY LIKE THIS! Even on the day when it was pouring it down, the forecast looked like this up until early afternoon I think! :(

Gates open at 10, racing starts at 11, IIRC.

[smashedheadcat]

Terrible forcast if I may say. :(

[98banana]

Originally posted by smashedheadcat

Actually, if the weather channel says rain this early before the actual date, then that means it'll be sunny.

Plus, I may bring the Focus out to spank a few Cobras. :D

[redsnake99]

Tom, I'm bringing my Focus.

[flynfink]

Looks like we'll be there w/ the 94'. Yeah..

OK, who's the weather god this weekend??? Tony???

[cobrabitn]

Please, please, please y'all bring your Foci! I'm dying to watch y'all in the rear view. :rotf:

[2KWhiteSnake]

Tony....Richburg exit again? What time? And will you be in a hurry again?:o

Craig

[cobrabitn]

Richburg again, I'm leaving at 7:15am and I am setting the cruise. If you miss us then you'll have to put the hammer down but I'm setting the cruise control to 70 mph and will be leaving at 7:15 sharp, no exceptions this time. I put unnecessary pressure on myself last time and I won't be doing that again.

The only other stop I will make before the dragway will be at Exit 5 on I20 at the Speedway gas station.

See you there! :)

[2KWhiteSnake]

No pressure! Best bring a radar detector with you flyboy! Guess we'll have to get you one for Christmas.

See you at the McDonalds.

Craig;)

[redsnake99]

No, Tom, my Focus in not SVT, it is slow rental car. Cobra having transmission replaced after second failure. Not putting the same thing back in......have e-mailed MGW about bringing a new shifter knob to drag day, one with 6-speed pattern.

If any of you plan to modify your cars, don't buy the ESP warranty package. It's a crapshoot.....this time, not covered, last time, yes. Depends on your dealer's service advisor as well as the "inspector" that Ford sends in to make the determination of warranty coverage or not. I got two no's this time, cancellation of remainder of ESP and no help from Ford at all.

:mad:

[stylin99]

Tony, what ever became of that ticket from March 1st? Has that already been taken care of?

[cobrabitn]

reduced fine, reduced points....$50.00/ 2 points....whew! :eek:

same here but i had other problems too. one of my friends that came with me last time, his tranny blew about 25 min. from the track

[2KWhiteSnake]

If it was to rain it would be a quick passing thing IMO. This time of year we probably won't be seeing anymore of those 3-5 day pouring rains. At least I hope we don't this weekend :)

So you're getting a six speed but which tranny? Who's doing the work for you?? Why did Ford say no to the replacement the engine mods?? Inquiring minds want to know! :D :D ;)

See you there! :) will meet you all at the track!! we may be in a v6 mustang.... NO not running that! not even against dave's mighty focus!:rotf: :rotf: :rotf: we have had our fun though , havent' we dave?!? (who's bringing the virgins?):eek: :rotf:

[redsnake99]

I plan to be the brackets champion......no, I wouldn't want that to happen to you guys. That would be worse than losing to an old pickup truck!

My original Ford dealer in Raleigh, Capital Ford, said no to the warranty coverage on repair of reverse gear in my 99. I pitched a fit, call lots of numbers in Dearborn, got no relief. No only were they not going to cover the repair, but ESP inspector voided the remainder of the ESP contract, and Capital charged me $240 for pulling out the tranny, letting it sit for a week while they made up their minds how bad they wanted to hurt me.

So, the hell with them, True Blue is putting in a T-56, with some associated aluminum parts, new Steeda Tri-ax.

Just urge anyone contemplating purchase of the extended warranty to NOT DO IT if they have any inkling of adding mods to their car. What I did to the car had nothing to do with reverse gear, but hard-headed For had a differing opinion. It's up to the car owner to prove the aftermarket stuff didn't cause the stock part failure, not the other way around.

So there, that's what the hell happened!!!
:mad: :mad: :moon:

[johnbasf]

Hey Dave, I wonder if they would honor my ESP??? :D

[BOSSMAN]

Dave,

My pickup truck is not old. It's a 95 model.:D Sorry to here about the cobra. I never get the esp.

[cobrabitn]

SCMC Drag Day participants...... True Blue will be bringing their True Blue SS/O car to our drag day this weekend so it should be an interesting weekend. I'm going to invite MV performance to see if we can get these guys under a little pressure....lol. =0)

Uh, Dave, if I was the ford rep looking at your car, I think I'd have to void the ESP too!:D

Your car is the poster child for why warranties shouldn't be honored. :rotf: You've got everything on that Cobra that would void a warranty. Now, lets face it....tranny probably went bad based on your extreme driving habits both drag racing AND road racing. ;)

Glad to see you went with the T56.

I won't be able to make drag day...family concerns are going to keep me from making it. I will keep in touch on here and let you know how the new motor install is going. True Blue is going to start on it the 23rd of this month. :D

[98banana]

Strike everything I said about drag day. I can't make it. :(

[Ken 01-Cobra]

Man...they are dropping like flies...but *I* still plan on being there, even if it DOES rain! :D ;)

Well there might be an OUTSIDE chance that I can still make the Drag Day but I won't know for sure until late Friday afternoon. I'm hoping that I can make it! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

The forecast ain't looking to hot! A day before, or a day after, and we might have been okay, but Sat. is looking damp!

Well I'm bringing some drag radials which should help some with traction...BUT I think if I'm going to get serious about Drag Racing I'm going to need slicks to stick! :D ;)

You got me, I did not reply in the appropriate way.:o

I hope it rains and I can bring my car on the next rain date, HA!

You should check it again, they dropped it to 30% now. :) Saturday is supposed to be the drier of the two days. Click here:

Heh...I think the weather channel forecast is actually a random number generator with a forecast stuck on the back of it! And if you remember, it was 30% March 1st too... :( But I will be there!

Yep you walked right into that one! ;) ;) :D I was hoping your Bow Tie would be down there so we could run...Hopefully this fall we can play! :D :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Ken...do you still have your 01 Half shafts in case I break one? Greg isn't bringing the trailer, and I'm running DR's on the back now. It's got me paranoid. Don't want to be walking home. :)

Craig,

I am bringing the trailer if I'm able to make it and it's about a 50-50 proposition right now. If I do come down True Blue will be driving the car back to the shop to change motors! :D :thumbsup:

[White Venom]

Craig...sorry but no I don't have them. I had no use for them. I don't think you'll have a problem with DR's. ;) I never got enough hook with them to worry about the halfshafts!

And the weather looks like we might luck out, IF the weather forecast is even close. (it wasn't on March 1st) But I am keeping my fingers crossed and looking forward to getting some runs in!

Looking like rain :(

[cobrabitn]

I guess I am not reading the same weather.com you guys are because I see scattered showers or partly sunny. Regardless, I'm going to go for it again because I think lady luck will be onour side.

Hey guys,you guys going to meet up at the McDonald's? I forgot where it's at. And what time will you all be leaving for the track?

[cobrabitn]

Jack,

I sent you an e-mail to the wingz and wheels addy. We are only stopping once and that will be at exit 5 on I20. We will be going by exit 61 around 8:00 am if you want to hook up with us there. Also, we have a member in Charleston if you want to run over with him to the Speedway gas station at exit 5? Let me know and I'll give you his e-mail address.

Tony

[Jack Messina]

Thanks Tony, I will try to hook up with you guys, if I can't I will see you there. Thanks for the e-mail .
