I have been to all three Spring Fling events and this was the best one of all, thanks DV for a great weekend. Hell, the fact that Ohio had three days in a row without Rain was a feat in it’s self, since most people told me it was the first weekend since the beginning of the year without Rain. Lots of the people launching their cars came out sideways and most shifting seemed was done by those that have never driven a stick shift before, or that’s the impression one got from watching the driving. Jacks car always came out as straight as an arrow and he never missed a shift with that automatic transmission. Actually we should not allow Cobras to run with CHEVY engines, they just run much too hard.
The 1/8-mile drag strip course at the airport was about the same length as down town London, but without a shut off area other than the field. The small baby cones placed on the ground about mid way down the course telling the drivers it was time to let off were hardly visible. Later these cones were placed on hay bails bringing them three feet higher off the ground for better visibility. I know that people would not be coming from all corners of the earth to view a glorified Cobra car show.
