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.
There are more pictures at http://www.flickr.com/photos/jmillin...7610655255432/ 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.

Jim that looks like you had a great time and the pics are great. My hat off to the photog. My favorite part? It's nice to see some of that high dollar iron BEHIND you!

Looks like you could use another mirror :p
Nice pic's. |
Hey!
Jim,
Got your note and glad it all worked out for you. Bob would be proud. I forwarded your pics so he could see what it looks like on the track! Man, didn't take you long to get right into the swing of things. Now if you start figuring out how to get it up on two wheels any time soon, be sure to send me a note and I'll bring the camera; or better yet, stay on four and keep the rubber side down - No knee slides allowed in Cobras now...hehehehe Looks like you are having fun there...! :D |
Jim, Great Pics!

Great slideshow Jim, thanks for posting them.
