How many guys are willing to visit LV to see this race?
Just curious, its been one hellova a ride so far, lots of enthusiasm, albeit with some rancor back and forth, but genuine interest nonetheless. I am of the opinion Keith put a decidedly different spin on this when he said he was asked not to discuss the engine details but he knew of the car, this statement alone made it even more compelling. So concluding we'll hear some further details from Tom moving forward, how many of the club members are prepared to see this smack down in person? And just so you know, providing we don't have a buy out along the way, I'm in, I need apologize to Tom in person anyway.
Cheers, John AKA, tin-man

Hey Tom Goldstein
Hello,
I live in the DC metro area and would like to meet with you if possible. I want to loan you a GoPro HD camera to use to film the race. Let me know if you are interested.

Tommy- I think it is fantastic that you are going to be enjoying your new toy and driving it the way it should be driven. To make things fair the Cobra should have at least some drag radial, then the race might get close.
Can you or the Cobra driver use a GoPro camera to film the event?
Thanks for bringing the topic to light on this forum and letting everyone banter back and forth about the race.
Justin

Keith Craft indicated that he knows the Cobra owner, and confirmed that the race is planned to take place.
Additionally, Tommy provided his real name.
Not sure there's too much to question...other than the outcome of the race.

13.4? Come on,,, I can run faster than that.
Maybe he's just giving Tommy some "hope", instilling over confidence.
Henrik, let it go,,, get a life on another forum might be a good start.

Unbelievable,,, so what Pat? What is lost one way or another? Are you doubters so insecure you can't stand the thought of being taken?
Man up, find some freakin' courage, it aint the end of the world one way or another. Get off the thread if you can't handle it.

I didn't read the previous 5 pages, but my mate did 10.6 with a 428cui in Germany, fuel injected and not too radical engine. Ever since he battles to do the same time, even though he has plenty of drag time. Under 11 often, but 10.5 not...
He uses slicks and is no stranger to high speed, even though we are looking at only 130mph top speed, or so.
I want to hear the result!

This is the 10.9, I can't find the 10.6 video (maybe on his website?)

If the guy’s running a 13.4 quarter, safety will be a big concern. Having put about 1500 miles on my KC powered SPF this past summer, I ‘m just scratching the surface on what it takes to drive one. There is obvious correlation between the distance the gas pedal is pressed, and the number of degrees the back end comes around  . Add adrenaline and pressure…hope the Cobra stays in it’s lane.

This has been one of the most entertaining threads I've ever read ! But remembering my days growing up in Detroit street racing , it seems like Tom has been baited and drawn in ! It happens quite often in high stakes street racing . The cobra driver has played it perfectly. All he needs is 1 win or fault on Tom's part and he wins . My side bet money would be on the cobra !

Hi David. I was just getting ready to say that I don't have the camera when I saw your message. Absolutely, PM me.
And all, my buddy has now seen the forum and is eating it up.
Thanks, Tom

Tom,
Like a lot of us here, I have been following this thread with great interest and want to wish both you and your buddy a safe and fun race. I was at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway recently for some drag races and it looks to be a great facility. Sounds like it will be quite a show, thanks for keeping us posted. Best of luck to you guys.
- Tim

I was planning a shopping/getaway trip to Miami but I just told Wifey I am seriously thinking of flying to Vegas instead to take in the race. Regardless of the outcome it could end up being a blast.
