Fatboy,

To answer your question about the 118 mpg rating of the Mickey S/T tires, I am getting older and the "Need for Speed" has diminished. When you get over 60, it's more of a fight with what you can do and what hurts too much. I play tennis at least one a week and work out to stay in shape so that I can drive the Cobra on 12 hour events. However, these events do not require high speeds and can be run at legal speed limits. Driving a Cobra at over 100 requires a lot of focus and is physically draining. So, I keep the speed down and focus on winning events with precise timing. We have a big rally coming up on March 17 from Riverside to Palm Springs. If you really want to have some fun with your car, join us. The rules have been changed to make the course very easy for beginners. See the information here: ITNRALLY.ORG.
