I've raced in vintage racing for 16years, and never dented mine or anyone else's fender. You can be careful, and still drive 9.8 to 9.9 We of course talk with each other, to say who we feel safe racing with, like anything else there is always the 1% that we don't trust out there, but we just give them a wide berth.

I have seen a vintage race on TV. Yes they ran them hard. No delusions there. My hat is off to them and you.

A wise man said "a man has got to know his limitations." I have no delusions there either. I'm not capable of handling a Cobra on a track in full out competition. When I was younger I had pretty good reaction time and natural abilities. With the proper training and practice, I might have been able to do it, but even that is a question.

I had a 1968 Dodge Charger, that was highly modified. It would top out at about 175 MPH. It had a lot longer wheel base though. It was my favorite of all the cars I owned until I got my Cobra. My Cobra handles like a dream to any car I ever owned, but I do not push it to the limits. I have pushed it a bit on autocross tracks. I definitely know it is capable of much more than I can handle.
