...another thing you also need to know when you are with an instructor, is what 'line' you are taking.

The Cobra is very unforgiving at 90 inch WB and many times you will need to take a different line into a turn.

I learned the hard way with an instructor that drove a Busch North car.....told me I was not driving the Cobra right...for a couple of years, I had been driving the Cobra that way....he got behind the wheel proceeded to blast around Watkins Glen at about 130 with me.

.....and what he found out, the hard way (with me in the passenger seat) is that if you take a Cup Car line with a Cobra, you may go backwards thru the uphill esses at 100+ and almost put it into the armco.

Be careful out there and always ask questions.
