				 Backdraft Cobra blitzes VIR - Great track video 
  Mike Skeen hits 140 MPH + on the straight, goes through the "S's" at 120mph.   Turning the wheel at 120 mph in these cars is scary, no matter how good you are. His BDR just tears up the most challenging road course in the USA (Virginia International Raceway).  You really see how the Backdraft independent suspension gobbles up the bumps, off camber turns and the rumple strips.  This guy can definitely drive and he has a lot of guts to do this at such high speeds...   
I recently found this video and thought I'd share:
