Hey Don,
Yep, it was just to highlight what the fully fledged HUGE $ race cars are doing. Time, $'s and practice will all make you faster.
In talking to Sam from WP, he's mighty impressed with what all the cobra guys are doing down there....
That said, a sub 1m time won't be me!
I lack the canastas, $'s, desire and most importantly "talent" factor required.
Personally, without the cars safety aspects improving I wouldn't want to see anyone going any faster.
Gary's car is an awesome car and there are quite a few QLD's who'd considered it. But I believe there was a very interested party from Melbourne last I heard at the Nats if you believe the talk in the paddock.
