Tommy said he was out of town, so that may be the reason he hasn't posted in awhile.
On the otherhand, I'm starting to wonder about the legitimacy of this thread too.
I seem to recall early on in this discussion, Tommy saying he was posting with fellow Ferrari owners about the race. Now, recently he said he "just started" posting on a Ferrari forum.

Oh well.....................still a fun read!

RodKnock also made a good point on the previous page. If the Cobra driver is any good at all and gets down the 1/4 mile in a hurry, he may very well be kicked off the track. It depends on the track, but I know at Route66 outside of Chicago I was asked to leave (because of my speed thru the quarter) for lack of a full cage. I don't know if people remember Dave Rodak, but I remember him taking his 2nd SPF to Route66 (700hp Shelby block 527cu in KC build) and making a couple runs spinning his tires most of the way (mid 12's I think it was) to get a feel for the car. Then he made another pass and recorded a 10 sec et at nearly 140mph.
They kicked his ass off the track FAST. I don't think he was ever allowed back!
