The "in car video" from a "what the heck" moment at Willow Springs this year

Watching it on TV isn't the same as doing it.

Eventually I will make the investment in time, money and plenty of schooling to race a car (Cobra or not), but I lost a lot of respect for the "rigorous tech inspection".

Be sure and get back to us when you do.

Hell, looks like the only one is going to do it is me.

And who did you think was going to do it?

I always thought Willow Springs to be some premier racing facility, what the hell was I thinking...

Willow Springs is a track; a chunk of pavement. It's quality is only as good as the users make it.

Also, to the racer guys; I have read on more then one post that a Cobra, with the aerodynamic profile of wood block and the open mouth of a gaping bass, will want to lift in the front-end of even a big block iron FE after 130mph with an "average" suspension stance with little to no down-force?

Remember that you're talking about the only American car to ever win the FIA world championship. The car that has been on race tracks around the world for 50 years. The most copied body style ever made.

Again, when you actually get out there and do it, then you can speak with authority. Until then, pull the lever on your barcolounger and crack open another beer.
