Besides all the down sides of Dave breaking the 10.0 barrier in his lil ole stroked 302 Cobra, I want to say congrats to Dave for achieving his personal best. And a big thank you for all your support concerning Run N Gun. I don't have a comment on the insurance issue because I don't know anything along those lines as fact!

Not great pics of Dave's car, but here they are - First one is on the track Wednesday at RNG
This one was during the barrel race runs in the parking lot at Gateway. Dave thought a good burnout would be great entertainment, he was right 
Dave lives in a little town about 30 miles or more from Fastlane and I know he drives this car any day that he can. It's an Excalibur Replica. Used to be White/Red stripes, but I think he liked Sammy's paint job so much he duplicated it Congrats Dave! A pic from last night - http://www.racingperspectives.com/cg...-10-20_099.jpg

Jack,
I know how you got into the 9 second time slot and without the power adders of NOS, you are running with Chevy power

Missed seeing you in June Jay, Hope you make it next year. Don't know if you knew we built a new engine this spring. 454 small block, alll roller Dart iron eagle tall deck and 18 degree heads. 11:1 CR Next project is to put a solid axle in. I think I've found the limit on IRS. I keep blowing half shafts, they've all blown on the line, except the last one. It blew on the big end, somewhere over 130 mph. I was in the right lane then all of a sudden it was like I was on ice. Car headed to the right wall, I fought to get it back and then it headed for the left wall. Crossed center line in front of the other car. Then headed back right. I crossed the line sideways and still ran a 10.66
You don't want to know about the pucker factor. All I can say is thank God I didn't hit anything. That cornfield in London was a piece of cake compared to this.....

Come on Rodknock, We're buddies but if you are sticking to the letter of the laws and rules, I'm going to have to pass you and that beautiful car of yours as you put, put, put, down the highway at 55 mph!
I spoke to David again this morning and he was called to the tower (thats when he called me and thought he was getting tossed out) but as it turns out they asked him to come to the control room to give him a trophy for last years Run and Gun. They actually congratulated him on his time and he ran again, posting 9.75! This guy is a great driver who set a personal best during the last night of the season. Save the preaching about all these law breakers for the Model "A" forum and tip your hat to a guy who is getting it done!

Well said!!!
Being new to the hobby and this kind of car. I look forward to seeing what my car can do. At this point I have no clue what to expect, if by chance it makes it past certain barriers. I would be more than happy to be escorted off the track and then make whatever modifications needed to run again.

I wish David the best and I think it's wonderful that he broke the 10-second barrier with a Cobra. He's obviously a very talented driver as you are Dean.
Don't mean to pee on anyone's parade. Sometimes, I just seem to see things from a different perspective.

Rick
I'm running a C4 Corvette dana 44 setup. I think I've broken 3 half shafts in the last 2 summers. The U joints hold, but I break the ends off the shaft. I've also twisted the stub axles in half. Of course the 100+ dry hops a couple of weeks earlier at the Woodward Dream Cruise probably didn't help matters. I'll be building an 8.8 and installing it this winter.

You're right. Golf is much more manly.
Rugby? No, thanks, I like my teeth very much. Thank you.

Speaking of David's running the 9s... Did David Salkowski ever get a 9sec timeslip? His incredible black ERA with the 5 speed G Force trans ran 10.0 aspirated about 5 or 6 years ago, and remains my favourite ever Cobra.

I think I remember hearing on here he did it. I haven't been out for two years so no improvements lately. I have made a number of changes that should help quite a lot and can't wait to try them out. Tighter converter, higher gears, 120 more hp in the engine, and 100 more hp in each stage of nitrous.
