You're right. What could I have been thinking? Taking risks is what made America great. We shouldn't have to worry about those pesky rules, regulations and laws. What do they know anyway. |

I will never understand why it's OK for a guy in a leather suit on a crotch rocket can post 140 plus speeds but do it on 4 wheels and you're a huge risk.
Dave is cool. He loves his Cobra. When we were all at his business for the lunch he invited us to, I asked him a question. I asked if he could keep only one of these 200 cars in his place which would it be. He said without hesitation MY COBRA!.
Dave Congratulations and Thanks again for Putting up Mike's Cowboy collection.
Cheers,
Hersh  |

Well said Hersh! Just goes to show that common sense is actually quite uncommon!

Talk to Mark Williams
Hotfingrs Jack If you talk to Mark Willaims they will set you up with a set of axles that you will not break. I don't know what IRS you are using but if you go to a Quickchange or a Franklin, good for 800/750 HP and Torque. Endless gears changes too. The older vette rears are now 7.50 legal in NHRA with a custom 12 bolt setup inside the case. Have heard there is no problems but needs the stub shafts checked every 50 runs for twisting. Jag rearend is good to 600 hp + after some work with cap girdle and 30 spline axles.
Hope Dave puts a better rollbar or cage in the car if he is going to do this time and speed.  Rick L |

Those pesky rules, regulations and laws are arbitrary... Someone makes them up, doesn't make them right. Most of the time it's just about the money when you break them.
In any case, life is terminal 100% of the time. If I could chose when and where to go out I think that would be preferable to spending 5 years in bed drooling on my stained sheets. I look at life as being an adventure, not a scary place where I'm afraid to scuff my knee. Most regrets are from what you didn't do, not from what you did.
Each to their own. I won't tell you what to do, and I'd expect the same from everyone else... |

I'm not trying to tell anyone what to do. I only had an opinion about operating within the track rules. I'm not trying to take away the adventure. I think it's great that you guys have the knowledge, ability, talent and "cajones" to travel that fast.
Almost every Sunday, I play a sport in a competitive atmosphere. I've had at least a couple instances where body parts or life have been perilously close to harm, so I totally understand attempting to live life as an adventure.
Having said that, I do my best to play by the rules, even though I still vehemently argue with the referees about those "pesky" offside calls.

Yep, instead of the danger of banging gears and going fender-to-fender on Sundays, I like the danger of going shoulder-to-shoulder and banging bodies. I've been very fortunate on a couple occasions.
I've thought about taking the Cobra, but anytime I leave it unattended, it tends to draw a lot of attention. Plus, I would hate for a ball to hit it. Even with all the tall fences, they sometimes tend to hit cars. |

I agree, life must be a great adventure otherwise it does not worth living.
I break rules every time I can because rules are not usually logical but based on what fear people. Or made to have the less gifted ones to survive.

Higher insurance rates?!?!? Run, Chicken Little, run!!! The sky is falling!!! We're doomed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
That always cracks me up when someone automatically assumes the worst, and has to make sure they wag a finger of disapproval. I'm thinking the guy probably doesn't care what anyone thinks, and frankly, that's not the point. The point here is he has done an amazing thing that few people could ever do. I guess it's like a lot of things these days; If you understand, no explaination is necessary. If you don't understand, no explaination is possible.
Why don't we just try to stay positive, and keep the negative comments to ourselves?
Sorry for the rant...

That's not what I think I said, but who cares at this point. 
Also, your saying not to post any negative comments, when your comment is also negative. Further, if there were no negative posts on this or any Forum, then you probably wouldn't have many Forums. |

I thought two negatives made a positive! Oh, well. That's why you should ignor me and my stupid comments. I should know better, but it seems I don't.
Sorry.

No yet, Trying to talk him out of retirement
750HP Daves still is at 10.20. He has the car. Outside of needing a new set of slicks for the rearend, We are still waiting. Waiting for the days on the next R&G. I still think to date that no FE motor cobra without and power adders has gone 9.0's yet. I have to change 1st & 2nd gear in my trans before taking a shot a this. Will use the new motor, 498. will have the power, trick will be getting the first 60' time to run that fast before getting thrown off the track for not having a full cage. Rick L.
