This is a great story. You sure did look and sound good. Reminds me of the old bull and young bull on a hill overlooking the herd. Good job.

GREAT THREAD, this is why many of us now own replicas!

Congratulations. I didn't know you were lurking here! Thanks for the first-hand account. This is just another example that you just can't beat the right tool in the hands of skilled craftsmen. It applies to wood working and fast cars! The 0-60-0 was the most impressive. Congrats again! |
Speed TV broadcast
Here is a link to the trailer for a SEMA video that will be broadcast on Speed TV January 30 and 31 for those of you that are interested. I don't know times yet, but assume Speed will post them.

Gentlemen,
You make us very proud. We all have heard it "They were fast back in the day, but they just can't compete with modern cars"... Well to that I say: You sissy, lace panty wearing, manicured, ABS reliant, techno-dependant, girly men can kiss my hairy man a$$! Properly set up and driven (Only those with large Testosterone factories and great skill need apply) Cobras aren’t competitive, they carry an unfair advantage and get asked to not return. So did they ask last years winner to not come back? Love that sound, like an angry old man! Jason |
Maybe next year you can park the trailer a couple/three miles from the track. Load up your tools and gear in a chase truck. Drive up to the event, check in, beat the snot out of everyone (AGAIN), place the trophy in the footwell and drive out the gate while waving the middle finger at everyone that is still not rubbing their foreheads wondering what the hell just spanked them. :D
Congrats, -Dean |
Great story, I will have to show this to my pu$$y friends that think the Cobras can't compete with modern technology.

Wow .. great story, gotta love it!
A impressive display both of the car and the driver. From back in the day ... to today ... and still dusting the competition! Kind of reminded me of seeing Bob Hoover years ago, flying a P51 :) |
Speed TV
Here are the scheduled times for the Speed TV broadcast of the Optima Challenge/ SEMA events for those of you who are interested.
Optima Street Car invitational on Speed Channel Jan. 30 @ 11:00 AM ET & Sun Jan. 31 @ 4:00 ET |
I just received my copy of Hot Rod Magazine yesterday and it has a nice picture of the Cobra and driver in it.
Line under the picture was, " The overall winner proved to be Bruce Cambern's entry, which is believed to be the last original-owner 427 Cobra other than Shelby's personal car. We love that he flogged it so hard and destroyed the muscle cars in on-track performance." Ron |
I'm still scratching my head over how he come he lost the "best looking" part of the contest. I mean just LOOK at it, is that a thing of beauty or what??? :)
|
Worth noting that I believe he did pull the original engine and but in an 800hp Shelby aluminum block. The original is crated and stored.
|
Doug, the dry sump, fuel injected all out race motor is the tip of the iceberg, we won't even go there as it concerns the suspension... :)
Anyway, how "stock" do you think the car's he was running against were? I rest my case!!! Modifications to the Cobra simply leveled the playing field. |

The show is on Speed on Saturday AM at 9:00AM MST. I don't know if Speed time shifts or if a simple time zone adjust will get it for the rest. |
Just finished watching the show. I was afraid they were not going to interview Bruce, but they did at the end.
Congratulations as others have stated. I liked it best when showcasing the roadcourse time trials, the announcer stated that there was one last car to run, and everyone was waiting for the cobra to run. Great job. You ought to bring it to run-n-gun. |
