Check out several neat things happening in the GT/TA race. A Boss 302 T/A car should be a lot faster than 4 year older GT350. And the T/A's driver, pro Boris Said. But it only managed a 3rd. I have spoken to Scott Hackenson about his race. Dan Luckow's car is about as far from a 65 car as you could imagine. As is Chuck Bentleys. Big motors WELL over 450HP, lots of modern chassis tech, pretty much state of the art "Vintage" cars. One of the only "original" R models in the field is Kopecs. How about car #92, 6th at the start, immediately to 24th and back to finish 7th. And car 981, 44 to 19th. But the times for the two fields are about equal, 10 seconds over the first 10 Cobras (of 16), and the first 21 GT's (of 45). And I would like to see the full times for the two pole sitters, probably a lot less than 1 second.

So Old Tek Cobras faired pretty well against some superior "vintage" Mustangs.
