The winner may then be thrown off the track and have to forfiet the last two races.
I wonder if Mr. Cobra already knows this.

Drag race - stock 458 Italia versus 65 Shelby
Hi all. I've booked a drag race against a friend who owns a reconditioned 65 Shelby Cobra. In a sense I hope it's Ferrari's revenge -- the Cobra was designed in part to defeat Ferrari. The race is discussed here (Drag race - Kirkham 65 side-oiler vs Ferrari 458 italia) on a Cobra forum, where I was trying to learn about what I am up against. I'm grateful for all thoughts and advice from the Ferrari side. Many thanks, Tom

By the way, it looks like Tom is an accomplished lawyer (and poker player); I hope he's not quite as successful with his entree into drag racing.

With 9700 views and 227 replies on this thread, Tommy Boy might have learned one thing so far...
Cobra owners can be far better friends than Ferrari owners.

this is one of the best threads ever
I check this thread every couple of hours and have read it though several times, I have great respect for Tommy in that he came to a camp with a different vehicle to ask about our cars, taking a chance he would be spurned and chastised. I think he found that cobra owners are a good group and willing to help each other and outsiders as well, we have a few naysayers and doubters but that is what gives the world flavor. I am looking forward to the video and the results, I hope Tommy will post it for our enjoyment. He may even get a cobra to see what it is like and how much fun we have.
Keep Safe
David

It is also the start of the F1 press season. All the mfg's are releasing their cars and so everyone is looking in the F1 racing forum. Send a note to Rob Lay or one of the moderators and see if they will move it.
