Driving a cobra

[DanEC]

I have no track experience - well except for a foray to the drag strip about 48 years ago - no training and never was a roundy-round guy to begin with. After all, growing up with muscle cars, a lot of us were only impressed with acceleration and didn't care a lot if they could corner or stop. Watched a few gymkhana events in parking lots as a kid but preferred to go out and boil tires in a straight line. Loved to run down to Ward Parkway on a Sat night in Kansas City and be in the front row at a stop light with 3 or 4 more muscle cars all lined up and ready to drop the hammer when the light changed. And now - not sure I could even pull off a good power shift. So I drive nice and slow - but my ERA rides real nice as the scenery rolls by while I leisurely wind the motor out to 3500 in the gears while slow shifting and keeping a cautious eye out for the soccer moms on their cell phones and piloting their 3 ton SUVs.

Sorry - old peoples digressions. I believe these 90 inch WB cars do have a wicked side to them. So drive with care.
