twobjshelbys - I'm 64 years young, built my Cobra up from a body, frame and 14 boxes of parts. Also built the engine and rearend. Been on the track numerous times to include Thunderhill. I take offense at your blanket statement about old age being the problem. When haven't we all made mistakes ? I have to agree with the others, if you do NOT understand that these cars will kill you in a heartbeat, then you shouldn't be screwing around or they will bite back. This is just a tragedy, and we should all take it as a wakeup call the next time we want to grab some rubber or impress someone, especially on cold tires.

Beeing 60, I'm with u 100%. It's a tragedy and a wake up call, but not due to age.
