It’s Monday. I’ve been following the SRX races again this year and I love it. I’m really liking the format of several short heat races followed by the main feature. Where Nascar races can be 3 to 4 hours long, the SRX races are short, intense, and the entire event is over in just 2 hours. I still love Nascar, but the racing is just too drawn out. Oh, and the winner of Saturday night’s SRX race at the I-55 Raceway? My favorite driver, Tony Stewart!
Had a good weekend. We had some rain but in between the showers there was time to get out to my storage facility and wake the Corvette from its winter slumber. After charging the battery and getting the tires up to pressure, it’s now back home where it belongs. I’m looking forward to putting the top down and getting it out on the road.

Cobra
It’s Tuesday. The combination of a big-ass engine with a feather-light frame and body make for a car with killer speed. Carroll Shelby knew this better than anyone when he built the infamous AC Cobra. Originals can go for hundreds of thousands of dollars, but the Cobra also happens to be the most popular kit car on the market. That means you can build one of your own for thousands less. And if you’re not mechanically inclined, don’t sweat it because you can also buy a kit Cobra that someone else built.
One of my readers caught this Cobra at a farmer’s market in Louisiana. It’s most likely a kit, but I bet it’s just as fun as the originals, only without the crushing anxiety of driving an original! Thanks for taking the time send it in, Paul!

Keep, I have been a long time fan of your website. I was at the farmers market south Louisiana this past Saturday and ran across this fine specimen. I just took the pics with my phone. The car seemed spotless with some wear on the seats. Beautiful ride that sounded awesome! Didn’t get to talk to the owner so not sure if it’s real or kit. -Paul
