Thanks for the responses to my question guys.

Cranky, you've got a good point about instructors at Watkins Glen. I'll take your word for it that it is too fast for newbies to run without an instructor. If I go, I'd want an instructor with me, and I wouldn't ask them to get in the car w/out a roll bar.

Before I say this, let's NOT start another argument about open track days vs. "real" wheel to wheel racing. Dan, eventually I do want to try NASA racing. But probably not with the Cobra. If I do wheel to wheel racing, I'd probably by an old MR2 and use that. It would be a much easier pill to swallow if a had a minor race incident with the MR2 than the Cobra. I'm talking about making my Cobra into the best open track/autox car it can be. I have no idea what a well built FFR spec racer costs. How hard it is to make it also suitable for street use?
