Hello from St. Louis, MO

[STL Mark]

Hi Folks - Mark from St. Louis here.

I sold my Superformance MKIII a few weeks ago and really miss it. I owned it for 7 years (from new), put 25,000 miles on it, several track weekends, and really got the race bug thanks to Dean Lampe. BTW - I miss talking to you Dean - if you're reading this here. Give me a call sometime Bud.

Anyway, I'm the President of the Gateway Cobra Club, and I'm pretty sure they'll let me stay in the club when I tell the that I really want ..... A GT40 !

It will be a while before I'm able to step up for a purchase, but I'll be lurking around as long as you'll have me.

Welcome Mark!

Welcome to the forum Mark, enjoy!

Welcome Mark,

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one in St. Louis with GT40 "dreams". I'm planning a build, but still gathering parts at this point. I just hope I'm able to finish it while I can still enjoy it

BTW - this forum is awesome!
I've been reading all day. Lots of questions coming.

 

[Sam Watson]

Welcome, Mark! Good to see you here! I'm a little ahead of you in the transition from Cobras. A customer just picked up my ERA Cobra last week, but I went ahead and ordered a CAV GT last Nov. Looks like it will arrive in the USA in late May. Happy hunting!

I'm in south county. My family and I will be spending the day at the Easter show in Forest Park today. But I'll email you when I get a chance.

Joe

 

[STL Mark]

Joe - enjoy the show. It's a good one.
Sam - wow there you are. Glad to hear from you. I don't know anything about CAV. I'll start learning. Will it (and you) be at Hallett at some point?

[Sam Watson]

Mark, I am sure I will need to wring it out at Hallett at the earliest opportunity. Dean is working on a secret project that he wants to show off, so I'm looking forward to all of us getting together

Welcome to the forum and hope you enjoy it!

 

[STL Mark]

Thanks Ron - nice Forum.

Welcome aboard Mark!

I knew you sold your car but I didn't know you where interested in the GT40s. There is a lot of info here. Just jump in and meet the guys. I know you have a lot offer. Fran at RCR will let you build the car in stages. If you want to get started, you could give him a call. When I go to Detroit to get mine maybe you would like to ride along?

Sammy, I'm excited to see your car when it lands next month! I will concede that you will likely be running before me. I will keep you posted.

When I go to Detroit to get mine maybe you would like to ride along?

That's sounds like an awesome plan.

Mark:

I am about 120 miles away from you in Southern Illinois. I have a RCR GT40 which runs like a scalded cat. Come by and visit sometime. The build is thoroughly documented on this site.

I too started with a Cobra, then the GT40. Don't ask what comes next.

 

[STL Mark]

You must be spying on me.
I have been reading your build thread for the last 6 hours.
Made it to page 13.
I have a ton of questions and would love to see your shop and your car.

Count me in.
I'll contact you soon.

Thanks
Mark
