Backdraft Cobra AUS - The search for reliability

[spookypt]

Hey Andy, mate I love the top! Its benefits are its much cooler waiting in the staging areas, you feel much more snug and safe, it does get a bit fumey when Im stopped but Ive now got a little blower that pushes breeze down onto my helmet.

I particularly like the look of having the A pillars built in as part of the top rather than using a windscreen per say. It feels very stable at speed.

One of my reasons to come to this years Nats is that I can do a good comparison at a track Im reasonably familiar with. Although in years past notably on the wrong side of pit wall. Ive had lots of very positive feedback regarding its looks. If I did the whole car again from scratch I'd have made a cage that didnt require the hump. It adds some uniqueness but if it wasnt for CAMS making me keep that part of the structure I'd have made the cage and roof without the hump.

Access is more difficult in mine due to intrusion bars etc but really not an issue for a race car. Heaps of head room including helmet etc. I'd say it feels very similar to my Daytona for a comparison.

I am wheel spinning in all gears so there's argument to run a big wing but I dont really want to go that direction. I like its sort of classic look. If I went a big rear wing I may as well buy a Porky GT3.

But yes, so far I find it very hard to find a negative. As its going to be a logged book 2A car the diversity of that class probably suits it to be honest.
