jdean, Yep, it sure is tempting, fact is I had thought about that notion, ceptin' three points: 1) I have no track time experience, 2) I have a great deal of respect for the power my Cobra has and, 3) these two young Turks are
way outa my league. I am also mindful if I make one error, like popping a wheelie right outa the gate, as we saw in a recent post, due to the torque and drag radial combination I could crash and burn big time and that's not part of my life plan since I got one more factory to build in China and
then I retire.
That said, this notion is certainly compelling and perhaps there are several people on this site who would jump at the chance.
But such an idea while arguably taking this event to an absolute mind blowing conclusion would require the approval of the race sponsors, Tommy and Dan and I am not sure their egos could handle one of us working class stiffs from Club Cobra cleaning their clock and handing them their face. Chinese concept of
loss of face, i.e. when yer gets yer ass kicked big time an' there just ain't no place to go.
Well Tommy and Dan, games on?
Are you guys ready to see how its done, can yer take da heat when yer lose?
