Cranky's correct, as of late there seems to be more incidents with Cobras on the street rather than the track. As a result, it has not been as difficult for racing organizations to get an insurance rider for these events, this eases the requirements on FPSBs.

Dependent on any track experience in your Cobra or otherwise will determine what group you'll run in. Probably end up in Novice.

Pointers:

- Leave yer testosterone at home.
- Be prepared to be passed by lesser VWs and Toyotas. Its a fact of life. Attend all classromm sessions.
- Have catch cans on all your fluids.
- Street tires are OK, just don't run too hard or deep into the corners.

BTW:

- My first track event was in 1997 at Watkins Glen in my first Cobra, a Unique 427SC with a 428CJ moder with street tires and brakes. Since I was just learning, I was not running very hard, but hard enough to learn a lot and occasionally scare myself.

Great event, with a great group running the event as well as participating.
