Awesome! :3DSMILE:
Congrats, Blitz!
You did make us proud.
Well played, indeed.
And good show. ;)

Buzz,

Great reporting, well said. Glad you were there to meet Tommy & Blitz and along with the other CC guys be a part of this notable event.

Brilliant! :3DSMILE:

I'm going to drive my Kirkham with just that extra bit of pride now. ;) :MECOOL:

Well done and thanks to Dan and Tommy, but especially Dan for helping to keep the legend alive.

Sweet story. So how many CC members showed up to the race?

I'm anxious to here from the players.

There's a video posted here:

vid does not come thru: not found. So the bet was US$400 large? tin-man

Gentlemen it was a great pleasure sharing this with you all. Your support and enthusiasm was definitely appreciated. These are the facts, when this bet was booked I had never raced a quarter mile in any way in my life. My first couple quarters were in the 13's and when I booked the bet I had not driven my car in a year more than 20 miles tops. The day I went to the track and Tommy asked my times, I told him the truth they were an 11.9 and the two other 12 second passes. Those runs were on a track that was prepped the day before, not that day, and I almost wrecked on each one(un-prepped tracks are way slicker than the regular road, and I didn't know this at the time), and I told tommy the track wasn't prepped and he assured me the prep lasts a few days. This has been a big rollercoaster for me, I had not driven in the last two weeks due to the track being closed for NASCAR, other than 3 passes I did yesterday with a prep(not as good a prep as we had today) and I ran a 11.25, 11.6, and an 11.2X. I went out there today knowing in my head I was going to win or wreck, losing was never gonna happen. I put the ****ing hammer down every run and it was an absolutely perfect day (75 sunny) and the car hooked like it was on super glue and pulled like a ****ing john deer tractor. I appreciate the support once again guys and Buzz it was great to meet you, I will post my professional video that was made of the race as soon as I get it.

Congrats Dan...

My hat's off to everyone, Dan, Tommy and all the Clubcobra "groupies". There was nothing but class acts at Vegas Speedway yesterday...

buzz
great job throughout and beautiful recap. thanks for everything.

blitz - simply stunning.

fastd

Well done.

Surely that video has to be worth a years marketing budget for Mr Kirkham. :D

Gettin' it done
 

Blitz,
Great job!!!:3DSMILE:

Works for me OK. :confused:

1st post ever here.

The video worked for me too. Kudos to both Blitz and Tommy. I have enjoyed following the story for the last month or so and predicted (well I went with my heart anyway) the correct outcome.

Not sure what the original bet was, but a friend of Dan's said he had a lot of side bets on this too...

Not only that, but I think it may make Dan's KMP a little more valuable today. What # is it?

Correct result. Who needs technology when you got serious grunt?

Kinda hoping that Tommy doesn't trade up to the new McLaren MP4-12C (nice name) as it has recorded a 0-186mph time of 24.5 seconds on Pirelli Corsa road tyres. Think about it. Who needs a 458 now?

Good job Blitz. I said the Cobra had more potential, it was just controlling the car and putting down a good run. It looks like Blitz came through. Great thread...

Well played Blitz......Tony R.

As much as I enjoy seeing the Cobra kick a Ferrari's butt, Kudos to both of them to be willing to not only put their money where their mouth was, but sharing it with the rest of us. Any street car that can do 11's is impressive and I applaud them both.

Was there a similar thread on the Ferarri forums? Would be a good read.
