I too have also a story to tell about that visit, although it is vague. I used to work with a bloke (Tom Fraser) who told me that story when I was an apprentice years ago. He noticed pictures of Cobra's around my work area, started yapping and I was amazed.
He was there that day as a guest from a relevant sports car club and insists Ken Miles took him for a lap of Lakeside. It was an experience that frightened him and he maintains that car was by far the fastest thing he'd ever sat his bum in. One point he made was that this car has some sort of computer hooked up to it and they could actually deliver info to the US and wait for suggestions on what to "tweak" from either Shelby or Ford to make it a better thing to drive. There were other details also, but I can't recall them with enough accuracy.He did insist that Ken was an absolute gentleman and one hell of a driver, but I guess most on this forum allready know that.
