Factory Five Racing Open House

This is why we came 2970 miles. Free hot dogs. And of course about 200 other Cobra people from the New England area and a few crazies, like us, from other places a long drive away. We did get an honorable mention in the "long distance drive category", which was very nice. Chris & Donna Mann from Corvallis, Oregon, yes, you heard correctly, drove almost 4000 miles and won top honors. There were lots of neat cars and neater people. It was a great experience and a lot of fun to meet some of the folks that we have talked to over the years, but never seen. To finally put a name and face together led to a lot of high fives and back slapping.



It was a great open house and we are very glad we made the trip. Dave Smith (President of Factory Five) is a very genuine guy and it is evident why this company is so successful. He really sounds like a fun person to be around. I'm happy to have been able to meet him.

Tomorrow a day to kick back on Cape Cod.

Bob & Peggy,

Thanks for sharing your trip with us. I think it is great that you had time to visit with Jamie and Garrett, I am sure they enjoyed seeing you. You have inspired me to visit Virginia and Kentucky sounds like a beautiful part of the world. Glad to hear you made it safely to Cape Cod. Enjoy Sandwich (my favorite town on the Cape).

Take care,

Matt Edwards

Bob & Peggy,

It looks like you are having a great trip so far! I have not read about too much rain. 200 Cobras - Bob must be in 7th heaven! I'm sorry you could not drive 4001 miles to win the longest trip? Peggy how is the "stability handle" holding up?

Continued Adventures - I will be watching,

Brian

P.S. Bob - I'm sure no one believes your "air conditioner" (6/14) story.
