Not to prolong the discussion, but I now question whether or not this production chassis came built-up from the Cobra factory, or if it was assembled from chassis parts sold by Cobra. Any Cobra production chassis I've seen had the left rear corner radiused for frame rail clearance. The droparm on this chassis has both rear corners cut square. This tells me someone other than the factory probably built it. I tried enlarging the photo to see more chassis details, but the original is too small to clearly show anything when blown up.

My Cobra production chassis has both corners square, but the arm is shorter

My apologies if I mis-spelled any names, I was working off of a hand-written sheet and my handwriting is not the best...should have been a doctor!  LOL

[John Streisguth]

Got it Tony,  thanks!

[Kim Lander]

John... does that list include those that have purchased tickets or is it just donations?

[Noose]

That is the list that have bought tickets. I have your name Kim. 

[John Streisguth]

Kim:

 

Those are ticket purchases. I call them "donations" just to keep up the "Paypal Charade". There is a separate "GoFundMe" campaign.

 

Noose posted while I was typing...damn I'm slow!  LOL

[James Grandi]

VW, sent mine in

[John Streisguth]

Got it James, thanks!  So you're not going to be in attendance?  Shoot, if you and Gehrken won;t be there, I may have a shot at a podium!  

[James Grandi]

Even without Eric and myself I bet the field will still be extremely tight competition, you're gonna have to work hard for that podium! I truly wish I were able to attend, unfortunately I'll be in Pocono for the NASCAR races, splitting an RV with a bunch of friends. To be honest, I'd rather go to HVR

[Dominator]

James, I can pick you up in Worcester Friday morning if you change your mind .

Ok,ladies and germs  , just over 24 hours remaining to get your tickets. The cut off is tomorrow midnight.

Courtesy of google maps, HVR is approximately 2.5 hours from the racetrack - anyone feeling generous with their time? lol

Thank you all for your generosity and kindness. I am one of those people that enjoy slot cars and put them before alot of things I shouldnt. but its times like this that make it worth while. My family and I appreciate it very much.

[John Streisguth]

Aaaaannnddd...that's a wrap folks!  Ticket sales are now closed unlessyou are at the race or arrange with someone who is attending.  Thank you one and all for your generosity!!

Sorry guys but there are no plaques for this event. I do have 2 Concours box plaques I will give out. All race money is going to HVR for Trish.
