Since then I have became a much better driver and learned a lot about my self, my reactions, my ability to brake (brakes and tires are one of the most important aspects of putting your car on the track), as well as what my Cobra is capable of doing or not doing.

Definetly!!!!!!!!!!!!!
last september I was involved in an auto accident....1 ton flatbed truck came around a sharp/blind curve way to fast for the road conditions in MY lane. He made no attempt to get back in his lane of travel and I had only a few seconds to decide on my course of action to avoid a head-on collision which would have been fatal to me as I was driving my company car (Toyota)....
Little to no shoulder to my right and a very large deep ditch, more like a canal, not much of an option, so I hit the gas and turned left to go around the truck in what should have been his lane of travel, almost made it, he caught the passenger side of my car and basically went down the passenger side spinning me out in the process, I walked away with a few cuts from flying glass and a bruise or two.......
I truly believe had it not been for my open track/racing expirience as well as attended 2 different driving schools, I would not have re-acted the way I did and most likely would have ended up dead in a head on collision..............
