Friday, October 17 - Race Day! The alarm went off at 5:00am and I had already heard Ken and Michelle starting their cobra right under my hotel room window. Who needs alarm clocks?! :ROFLMAO: I arrived in my truck at the starting line on Hwy 285 at 5:59am just as the highway patrol was moving...

Friday, October 17 Today we check out of Desert Air Motel in Sanderson and drive up to Fort Stockton to check in at Holiday Inn Express. But first, we had a nice breakfast burrito at Ferguson Motors in Sanderson. Ferguson is an old Ford dealership turned in to coffee shop, bar, and event...

Thursday, October 16 Today was a quiet day for the most part. Ken and Michelle practiced some drives using their navigation app for the big race on Saturday. I took off to Fort Stockton to get a new trailer tire for the blow out I experienced Tuesday. I made the 60 mile drive to Weiss...

Wednesday, October 15 Cruise Directors Ken & Michelle planned a fun day going from Sanderson west on Hwy 90, to Marathon, then Alpine, Marfa, then north to Fort Davis, back to Alpine, Marathon, and finally back to Sanderson. Before leaving, when I started my cobra, I heard a nice new rattle...

Tuesday, October 14 I left around 11:00am from my home in north Texas, planning to drive the 430 miles down Hwy 67 across central Texas to Sonora, jump on I-10 to Sheffield then down to Sanderson. Before leaving home, I checked all the tires on my dad's old farm trailer, including the spare...

sorry i'm not allowed to attend this one.

Cool!! I'll look for him.

Roland, glad you found a source for your tonneau cover. Regarding titling and registering new cobras in Texas, that is a whole 'nother mess. You DO NOT need emissions testing in any county, IF you register as a "Custom Vehicle". You do NOT want to register as an antique, it is not a 25+...

are those the 289s? I would have thought they come with one.... do you already have the lift-a-dot pins for a soft top? I got a snapless tonneau that works great from piggyback covers ... https://piggybackcovers.com/ mine is the black #15 on the homepage of their website.

i'll post stories and pics here each day ... ;)

I am going to the Big Bend Open Road Race for the first time, this October. Not to race yet, just to check out the event and learn from others, and volunteer as a course worker. I'll take our cobra to run in the touring class in Fall of 2026. I plan on driving down early Wednesday...

Sorry I'll miss another one.... SWMBO sez we have too much work to do at home :/
