Doesn't look like it would be hard to run good at that track, it seems to go downhill.

Hey man nice run.

No offense or anything, but don't ya think its kindof ridiculous to be comparing a Vette to a rustang cobra? Even a stock vette should be able to smoke a cobra no prob.

Next, any cobra running the quarter in over 14 sec is either 1) a woman driver or 2) having some serious mechanical probs

So basically this post looks kindof silly with the focus being on your pounding of a crippled mustang. It's laughable actually. Please pick better victories to post next time k thx.

:rolleyes:

I ate a Cobra at Cali Speedway, the last time I ran with a 12.7, then they kicked me off the track.

Hey Bruce, I heard they might close Carlsbad in Feb, where are you going to run?????

But that's the problem (and the reason for this type of post)... the Mustang Cobra owners talk as if they are the King. So every now and then you have to put them in their place :)
