The trip to Knott\'s Berry Farm...
On Friday we were on our way by 8AM to the Knott's show from Phoenix. We met up with six Cobras at the rest stop. The trip was a fun drive that lasted about six hours. Lot's of thumbs up as we passed cars on the interstate. The RF GT40 ran flawlessly with good gas mileage around 18 gpm.
On Saturday I met up with Gordon and Robert Logan at the show and helped set up the dislay. It wasn't long before the place was full of people. From that point on it was non stop questions about the cars. There was my car and a deluxe kit on display. Many folks wanted to sit in them to see if they fit. We had one 6'4" tall guy try and he fit easily into the car. Then there was another fellow who was 6'2" and he had a tighter fit with a little less room. It seems that torso height is the most important aspect of fitting into these cars.
There was an F40 ferrari look alike there that was made in New Zealand and it was really neat. No Fiero rebody either it had a complete tube chassis.
A whole lot of 550 spyders, Cobras and Lambos. To me the show seemed larger than two years ago.
Sunday there was less there as the weatherman said it was supposed to rain so alot of folks left Saturday night. The day was still busy with many visiting the RF booth. They started handing out trophies at 1pm and I was lucky enough to take first place in my class.
On the way home we travelled alone as the others left earlier by an hour. The GT perform well all the way and I stayed on 80mph most of the time.
I can't say enough about the handling and the ride of this chassis. It is truly a pleasure to drive and ride in.
