It all started in London, Ohio in 2001 (I think) with Ed Combs and a few friends with Cobras. London has a Strawberry Festival the last week of June and Ed work with the city to let us join in as a car show. The second year I was there and the Cobra guys were giving rides down Main Street for a donation to Cystic Fibrosis. Ed pull up next to the Chief Of Police and asked if he could do a burn out. The Chief said yes. Ed's Cobra was powered with 500 hp Viper motor. The next guy did not ask. And so went the rest of the day. Next year we came back and there was three blocks of new asphalt, radar guns and 1/8 mile marked off. Speeds topped 100 mph.

And the rest is history.

my top speed was 101. A few hit 108. But they were Big Blocks
