Talking The Nationals are coming!!!!

HI guys just wanted to see whats been done to whos cobra since last years nationals . improvements / bigger engines/ wider tyres/ better shocks or bigger brakes.

Me well i have managed to stuff my second engine this year (bad fuel) and i am still trying to find some 18" x 12" or 11" rims for my slicks. so no improvements from last year.

i want to know who is going to step up to the plate.1.08.54 is the time to beat. and i am sure it will be beat.

oz.

1:08... Pah! I blow my nose at your 1:08... I fart in the general direction of your 1:08

Me and my LS1 powered bretherin will be smokin your "slow as watching paint dry 1:08" and probably won't even need to get out of 3rd gear.

Actually I'll just be happy to be able to drive arround the track never mind go very fast.

My car will have wheels on it and the engine will be running. That's a pretty vast improvement on last year.

I'm really looking forward to seeing that super sonic vacum cleaner of yours go round with some decent width tyres on it. Doing 1:08 on the skinny tyres you had last year was impressive. Imagine what it's going to be like with some traction??!!!

Cheers

Mike



May bring my ute.

Just had to go and buy a ute like you. We can do weddings now.



Will have it home soon just having the T50 exhaust sytem fitted.



Do you recal the ute at McDonald's Racing. Dark blue ute there.

Took it for a ride and enjoyed it. Saves me putting a roof on the Cobra if its raining. I will just drag it behind me on a trailer.

Not likely, just joking.



All going well will see you all at the Nationals.

Cheers

Bernie

Getting in and out of it is just like climbing on the Jungle Jim or the Monkey bars when you was a kid. The only thing you miss is being able to look up the girls dresses
