More Fun for Some than Others

[Mike Brasfield]

Karl thanks for the post. Some many months ago the AZ Pantera club invited the AZ Cobra club to their "track day" on Firebird Main. I posted several time but only Will replied and joined in. The Pantera guys were really accommodating and we had lots of visitors to our paddock. One even said, "I own a Pantera, but always wanted a Cobra". We were invited back for next year.

Three classes (A,B & C) each with five 20-30 min. sessions. Only about 5-6 cars in each group which made it great for Will but it made me slow down some to wait for some Pantera's to play with. I have some great video (go pro) shot from many angles so I will try to put together a short summary of my Pantera hunt-and-destroy. On shot is me passing a white Pantera then him trying to catch me. I would slow dow and wait a little each time we entered the drag strip then blow him off. His last lap he was trying to catch me in the back turns and he lost it. He went rearend out 90 degrees to the left then 180 degrees to the right and nearly hit two walls. It was a climax to a great day for me. Can't wait until next year.

What did the track cost. I would guess 8-10K.

That sounds like a blast. Wish I could have been there, but just too far away this time. Cobra's and Pantera's on the same track, I would love to see that. I know a couple of Dallas guys were there with their Pantera's. Looking forward to talking to them about their experience.

Here's some pics of us at the track last Thursday and my car on Main St in Huntington Beach on Saturday. enjoy

Special 'THANKS' to Dave from mesa for loaning out his Serpent Express!

Thanks,
Will
