Change my mind about what? I'm not swallowing 215 or 222 in a Cheetah or even 198 in a Cobra at Daytona IN THE 60s. The only number I ever saw in actual print, 1960's print was the 185 at Road America, in the mid 60s, brake/areo/skinny tired/ hp challenged small block Cheetah. I can't find ANY records of a Cobra's, big or smallblock, numbers at that track, INTHE 60s. Today's numbers are a different story, with advanced tires, areo, suspension developement, and on and on. The fastest number accurately timed that I can find for a Cobra, is Gordon Levy's 187 at Pheonix, about 6-7 years ago. Now if you wanna brag, how 'bout i cobble one of my Cheetah bodys on one of our Chevy or Rodek powered Supers we run there .
