Check out the video I made on YouTube from last Sunday as I take on the AutoX competition at the Texas A&M Sports Car Club’s 2nd race of the Spring semester!  Some of the turns were pretty tight but I managed to swing the old Cobra around and take away a trophy for 5th place out of 17 competitors in the Street Tire Mod (STM) class and was only 0.342 seconds from 4th.  I have the video’s from my 3 other runs from different camera angles so I may post those up later when I have time, but until then enjoy, and Gig’em Ags!

Here is another video from my first run as I am trying to figure out the course…

Stingray
So I went cruisin all around the shop the other day and snapped some pictures I thought I’d share with y’all.  I found some customers being helped up front in the showroom…I also ran into John (our Master Engine Builder) and  Tim (Lead Tech) pulling a small block out of a customers Buick GS.  Looked like they were getting ready to hoist it onto an engine stand so John and Aaron can disassemble it and begin a rebuild.  I found a few other mechanics doing some general maintanence as well as finding a Sprint Car set up for the street!  I think the sprint car was getting some dyno tuning done. A few more long term porjects were around too like the ‘68 Stingray and ‘56 Thunderbird.  Anyways, I just thought I’d show y’all whats going on at JBA!

Well I went down to the local 1/8 mile dragstrip just 20 minutes south of me and made a few passes in the old ‘69 Mach 1. I couldn’t get much traction but I plan on returning soon to hopefully hook up and make some clean runs, maybe even head a little farther south to the 1/4 Mile track in Sealy! For now I just made this short little video clip of the 1/8 mile run in Navasota,TX….Check it out and let me know what you think!!!
