Oh well I guess that sort of thing keeps the Cobra stories going?

Mike I talked to Smithy a dozen times about his record. It is fact and done. The small caught was that Ken Miles was behind him at over 200+ and coming. Just like nascar, drafting makes 2 cars go faster than 1. Joe B also built a 700+hp motor to push the cobra that fast and they dropped the front end 1" to stop the frontend lift at high speeds. He said that the frontend still was trying to lift and the tires where just touching the track at the 195 speed. Even with an iron motor, a cobra can be an airplane if going fast enought. Rick Lake
