Unique Cobra at Thunderhill Raceway - Dec 1, 2008

I took my recently acquired Unique Cobra 427 to Thunderhill Raceway (in northern California) yesterday, Dec 1, 2008 - I've posted a picture below.

the slideshow feature on flickr is pretty cool.

From a couple of the pictures, you can see I'm getting some body roll on the hard corners - more than I'd like. I'll be ordering the rear sway bar from Unique Motorcars to help with this.

I adjusted the tire pressure on the Hoosier Street TDs after each run to get the heat even across the tire surfaces. I ended up with 27 lbs in the rear tires and 29 lbs in the front tires (hot).

I'm surprised the tire pressures were that high as it seems that most recommendations are lower than that?

The front temperatures ended up being pretty even across the surface, while the rears were hottest on the inside of the tires, and got progressively cooler towards the outside.

Cheers,
Jim M
