Woot Woot!!! We are not really sure what all we are bringing so the 85 may change to a 91 with my name on it by race day but we wanted to send in the funds to show our support for these guys asap since they do such a great job every year!

We are all looking forward to another great day at the track...

James is your clutch in yet or are you still trying to get time?

I haven't been to the track yet cuz within a 10 days I'd glazed the clutch over and need to get it replaced. Sticky track + more power = a tow home

Would you like me to bring my spare 1/2 shafts Sir? My Cobra has the GKN axles and it doesn't take much to swap them out if you break yours. Heck man we will have all Saturday night and Sunday to get it fixed before we have to be home.

Chris, it'd be much appreciated! The half-shafts have to wait until tax time for me, and I'm rollin' the dice right now.

Thanks for offering!
The Valeo King Cobra clutch/flywheel went in today over @ATS with Rick Erdman doing the honors

. Valeo is our OEM - it's a bit stronger than OEM w/ lighter pedal (like a DF) & I'll be taking it easy for a few days with a lot of city driving & hammer it a little on Saturday.

Yo James...

It would be well advised to have a spare half shaft at the track when you go down to Jackson next month. At the power you're making on the stock halfshafts its not a matter of "if" it will break but "when." I thought I could get away with "one more time" at the strip on the stockers making a tad over 600 at the tires... first pass out I didn't make it through the sixty foot beams and my day was done. Now that I've had the halfshafts out of my car about three or four times now it's not really all that hard to swap them out :P

Glad to hear you got a new clutch in your car... mine currently is up on jackstands in my garage getting a DFX disc, CFT pressure plate, Centerforce 0-balance aluminum flywheel, LDC cooling mod and Liberty 26 spline input shaft at the moment. All honors of this being done by ME

You need to know that my garage's toolbox is less than impressive - will work on rectifying that. Need to expand the garage first.

If I can talk one of my guys into pulling my car then we will be adding another Calhoun to the list.

If not then you guys are gonna just have to get your butts kicked by my girls.

James on the 1/2 shaft thing... I have seen Cobras run low 10's on factory ones and I have seen 12 second Cobras break coming out of the burnout box. Either way I will bring mine and a few air tools just in case we run into a little bad luck. And they are not that hard to replace... Just bring some rear end dope.

And just what in the world is this supposed to mean? I'd almost think of it as saying I was slow or something. Drag day isn't even for another three weeks almost... I could have my car back together by as early as this weekend if I wanted to. It really doesn't matter too much if it's running by this weekend or not... so I'd say it will definitely be done by next week. Still plenty enough time to get to Jackson.

You're right that I probably won't be there... as I really don't want to drive almost four hours to make maybe one single pass. If I were to "let it ride" on the first pass I'm sure I could get it close to a 10 second pass... any convertible at Jackson running 13.99 or quicker would need a cage of some sort. Don't really see the point in going for that and in trying to stay "legit" make a bunch of 1/2 track passes and hit the brakes. I can run 1/8th mile all day long that's much closer.

To each his own I guess.

I saw that you were on here yesterday when I posted that. I guess you didn't see it...............that's why it says I guess not. Just wondering who all is going to dragday. And yes there is 3 weeks until then and I've still got to get a few things done on my car too.

blk04cobra1 · 10-20-2005, 07:57 AM

my kit will be here on Tuesday

, but not sure if we'll be able to get her tuned by the 5th...but on the 12th, we are having some grudge matches at Rockingham during T&T if anyone wants to come

smashedheadcat · 10-20-2005, 10:03 AM

Here's my progress. It's a little further along than the pics show, but not much. I had some problems getting the spindles off the ctrl arms, but I'm past that now. Ended up getting a pickle fork to get them seperated. Now, just need to drop the k-member and start putting it back together with the new goodies.
