Long shot.... but I am looking to contact an old friend from 20 years ago. His name is Todd Warner and used to live in Ohio. He had a red '93 he road raced.
Thanks.
Ran last weekend at the NMRA Gateway Rumble with the new 15:1 363. Had to work through a whole bunch of issues and only made two passes. 1st pass off the trailer 8.99 at 150.4, the next day went 8.97 at 151.1. Pissed off the starter in the video (apparently there are no across the line burnouts...
Doesn't even seem possible it has been almost 3 years since I got the car down the track. Got to an 1/8th mile track a couple of weeks ago. I got 3 runs in. Off the trailer it went 5.789 @ 121.93 and spun pretty bad with a 1.38 60-ft. Best one was the 2nd pass with a 5.654 @ 121.77 and a 1.273...
Go easy on my video editing skills folks.
I put together a couple minute summary of this year at the track.

Hope you enjoy it.

First full pass with the new GForce trans last Friday. Launched at 6,500. Shifted at 9,200.
Tires spun with a 1.38 60-ft but she went a 9.55 at 139.4.
I think there is 2, maybe 3 more tenths in here once I figure out the clutch.
Enjoy!

I thought I would share some video of first outing to track this year and an update to the Cobra I will be working on this weekend.
Went to the track for the first time on May 1st (Gateway Raceway Park). Here is a pic at launch.
This was only second time out with the new adjustable...
The Gateway International Raceway track photographer (Bret Kepner) sent me a disk from my track outings from 2008 and 2009.
The pics came out really, really nice, so I made a slideshow. Hope you all enjoy.
:burnout:

Got one good pass in at Gateway last Tuesday night. Took it easy first time out this year with a 6,500 rpm launch and struts set pretty stiff. Made a 9.78 @ 140.6 pass in 2,800 ft density altitude. 60-ft was a not-so-great 1.37 (1.30 is where should be), but didn't want to set it on stun first...
This came out pretty good, so I thought I would share. Caught second just as I was coming down from wheelie and front end popped up again. Speed is 10% of normal.

Can somebody tell me what part numbers correspond to my left and right cats and the donut style collector gaskets? Dynatech long-tube system for my 2001 L.

Some of you might have seen my compilation video from last season. If not, the link is http://www.the-arnolds.net/Cobra/2007-compilation.wmv
I am looking for ideas on some different camera angles for this year. What would be cool and different? I have capability to move the in-car camera...
I put together a slide show of 49 images of the Cobra from this season. I think it came out pretty good, so hope you enjoy.

Thought I would share the video my sons took of the '93 from KCIR last Saturday.
1st pass was a [email protected]. Spun on launch. View from inside car.

2nd pass had to pedal it in 1st gear (lowered tire pressure too much) and ran a [email protected]...
Did this twice before we figured out how to tame the Cobra down with the new stiff walled M/T tires. Here is the link to the video of the second pass: http://www.the-arnolds.net/Cobra/gir-26sep2007-2.wmv
Need to touch up the bottom of the rear valance - again.
Enjoy.
My first foray into assembling some of the video and photos from last season. For those who do not know my car, the motor is a n/a 14.3:1 359. I shift the TKO at 8,800.
Hope you enjoy. File is 39MB big :uh oh:

Hey guys, I wanted to share something with you. Over the years, my Cobra has seen a lot of changes. I have always strived to keep the value of your stock '93s as high as possible by modding the crap out of mine.
:lol:
So I got a call from somebody the other day asking about a certain...
Is it spring yet? I finally get the car running and the season ends.
I put up several hi-res pics of the 359 motor build up on my site for those interested.

Videos are from KCIR yesterday. It was unusually warm in the low 70's and the track was hooking good. I have a helmet cam mounted at the top of the roll bar behind my right shoulder. 9,000 rpm is at the top of the tack.
The first run I bogged off the line - you can see the rpms drop very...
The last T&T session at Gateway International was last night. I got one clean pass in, a 9.69 @ 140.5. Thought you guys would like to watch a few vids. The first one is the full pass, shifting the 347 at 8,500. The second pass would have been faster based on the 60 and 330 ft's but I got...
Thought I'd post my recent dyno results for you guys. Previous best with my '01 was 392/476 with the following mods: AFM Programmable Engine Management System (PMS), AFM Power Pipe, Accufab TB, Pro-M 92mm MAF, Auto Specialties 4-Lb Lower Pulley, Bassani Hi-Flow Cats, Cat-Back.
