Exclamation PROBLEM with backdraftboys website

Currently there seems to be an possible infection when you access the backdraftboys forum site.

Best to not use it until this is sorted out.

*****http://www.back-xxxxx-draftboys.com/forum/default.asp*****

I'll keep you posted.

Geez...that's like putting up a Wet Paint sign.

I changed the URL in your post, if what you say is true... :-)

Got to hang out with Cashburn, BDR 1, and the rest of the guys from BDR today in Carlisle. Great talking with them.

I was very skeptical about "The Orange Car" until I saw it today. It's really a work of art. Different, but looks great in person.

Wow, that brings back fond memories. Many nights I watched Richie Evans best the field. Best modified driver ever IMO.

After seeing the colors in the background, I realize I'm not seeing the right color on the car. I saw a couple of orange mustangs at a show yesterday & IF that orange is the same as what is on this car, it's better than I thought. The Backdraft site is still #%&$@* up, spent an hour clearing viruses this AM I hope someone from Backdraft will let us know when the site is fixed.

Maybe if there wasn't soo much black. Hopefully I'll see it in London!

The backdraftboys.com administrator was able to find the little bugger that was causing all the problems, and nuke it. Our "home away from home" is now back safe and sound.

A big "Thank you!" to him from all of us.

I'm 6'1" and the seat is not all the way back. I did have a spacer for the steering wheel made to move it closer to me. Leg room is a non-issue.

I am 6'2 and about 250lbs no problem fitting and plenty of room. The foot wells are extremely deep.
Good Luck,

I'm a chubby 6'2" and my BDR is on the way for that very reason. I didn't fit in any of the others that I tried. Dave (ROUSHAC) was nice enough to let me try his car on for size at last year's LCS. If your interested in owning one of these puppies you may want to go to a Cobra meet or two and check a few out to see what you like. That's what I did.

BTW, welcome to the best Cobra board around, Steve
