I've done a couple of track days now. One was pretty much all Cobras with a few Mustangs and GT40s. No real surprises the Cobras certainly seemed quick. Many were punted round quicker than the GT40 guys.

The 2nd go on the track was with a real big mix of cars and was a bit of a wake up call. Along the straights the Cobras and a couple of hot Porsche 911s were the quickest but round the tight twisty back section of the track it was the Lotus 7 replicas and new Minis that were quick. It was a bit of a laugh because the guys in their tricked out Minis with big brakes and such were shaking their fist at me as I held them up round the back section. They would get past OK only to be gobbled up and overtaken on the main straight again. I laughed all the way round.

It was this event that prompted me to put a lot of effort into redesigning the suspension and putting together a big brake package. The car has more HP than it needs. Serious performance gains will be in making it easier to drive, pull up and go round corners.

Cheers
