I agree with you -- that's the baddddddddest Cobra I've ever seen. But I also agree with Charley -- me in an open car like that - might be a bad idea. HAHAHAHAHAHA

I say you go old school...

I was actually looking for the 66-7 corvette that's been sitting on CL for months. Flared wheel wells, no windshield needed work but nothing you couldn't handle. I'm thinking it was even in your neck of the woods,'Redmond or Bellevue.

I had one of those, and they're a great car. However, it'd be hard to hustle one around a road course at the limits, the short wheelbase and high power takes a high level of skill to not end up off track if you're pushing it.

After his recent 3 day Dirt Fish experience he's got what it takes to handle the snake.

We're not allowed to run open wheel cars at our Nor Cal Shelby events.... if we could -- I'd buy a Formula Mazda series car in a heartbeat. They have small easy to service motors -- and use front and rear downforce (which really works!).... and you can get some milage out of a set of tires.

For me - the actual track time is only part of the "deal".... like most car stuff -- it's more about the people and going out to dinner and all the other stuff that surrounds an event. We have a really great group that runs these Nor Cal Shelby events so I want to be able to continue to do them.
