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.

Ron (Computerworks) posted the Ferrari Forum thread earlier in this thread, but the Ferrari guys weren't too in to it. Drag racing is such blue collar sport you know.

Congrats to both. Provided a great mental vacation and also great to see that
there are still great sportsmen around. A class act, and Buzz - that was an
excellent narrative of the event - thanks. Looking forward to the video.

So funny how people say that. I mean how retarded are they, the bet was booked, Tommys practice had nothing to do with his runs at all, him being worried would only have helped me, his car had to be bone stock and there was no skill in driving it. Between his 500 a day **** talking texts I would of loved nothing more than to tell him he was ****ed and or bet him more. There is 0 chance either Tommy or myself would ever welch on a bet, and he OFFERED me another bet, if i lost i got a tattoo and if he lost i got his car, 100k to win 200k and i only booked 42 to win 85 and refused the tattoo bet, why would I not of taken all the action I could get if I knew for-sure I was gonna win, not to mention many of my other friends offered to buy action on Tom and I said no. |

I hear you. Laying down a 10 second run in a Cobra is not an easy task.

Eat crow guys, eat crow the Ferrari got beat by a grunt that has been around for over fifty years.
Kudos to Blitz for his driving skills, to the Tom Kirkham for building a world class car and to Kiethcraft for developing an awesome engine and finally to ol' Shell, for creating the legend.

I find it amusing that some of you find it gratifying that a NEW Cobra replica with a 500+ CI modern internal components engine and a prepped track beat the best Ferrari that Enzo has to offer.
No CSX in Carroll's stable, short of a dragon snake, would have won that race. I still think it's cool that a carb'd BB V8 in an original-like body and chassis beat the best, but ease up on the in-your-face, huh? |

The gratification came after reading the comments on the Ferrari boards... |
