Cobra Chassis Race Challenge

[hottcobra]

Why not have every manufacturer enter a stock/standard car in the One Lap of America. That should show which chassis works best. I believe SPF did this a few times and did really well. Why not. What about Run and Gun? Why not have every manufacturer commit to enter a standard car with certain things like the diff ratios, standard crate motor with standard carb, same comparable tires. Everyone would have to put on a decal with the claiming price for that car, and anyone participating could buy that car for that price after the event. That would show what you get for your money, as far as performance goes. Of course the upper-end cars with leather and Smiths, and knock off's as standard would look bad even after winning. The cheaper kit cars like the FFR and Lonestar etc. with bolt on wheels, vinyl and the lesser cost items that have nothing to do with performance would probably look the best when comparing to a car with better standard equiptment. Maybe the price should have nothing to do with it. Just the performance stuff, like tires, ratio, and engine trans. No need to worry about a Tremec TKO vs a standard one as the 5th gear ratio would never be used. If you let each manufacturers get their own pro driver, then you wouldn't have to worry about anyone getting to the "chose" driver and him laying back or not driving each car to the fullest.

The engine could only be bought 30 days before the event with a receipt provided and an agreement that they be sealed by painting some bolts.

What do you think?
