    I hear that the Cobras legal for Goodwood are hard to tune. We need experienced racers (i.e. Randy’s OGs… old guys) to share some wisdom on cars that have proved to be be dogs.

    IMHO – we should Not be listing legal cars if they are known by the OGs as P.O.S.
    Why list a technically legal car, if experience has clearly shown it is extremely difficult to setup and tune?  If the OGs want to spank the rest of us by turning a Dawg into a Sleeper – come one with it! But let’s help each other and ‘out’ the Dawgs – and better yet either not list them as a legal  model, or out them in an “advanced” section of the legal list.

    At 4-years old in Pensacola I repaired my steering linkage on my Ford Pedal-car. Dad later converted this car to a Blue Angel with ailerons and elevators with a working "stick/yoke"; the rudder was controlled by the steering wheel. I like all motorsports - I grew up going to a NASCAR Feeder track with Sportsman and Modified classes, and was lucky to attend drag races in 1970 at Orange County Raceway. My first solder-iron was a Christmas gift at 9yo; I modified T-Jets to be AFX spec before AFX Cars were in local stores. I rebuilt a few tractor & car (SIMCA) engines plus transmissions by 15yo (I still have my ring-compressor and valve spring tool) I am a former mountain and road bike geek & perennial sound engineer.
