Evan - Having just going thru the NHRA certification process and the matching licence I can tell you without provocation that the Cobra group does not want to go there. Period! While I agree with the NHRA's requirments they are not everyones cup of tea for a Cobra. Then there's politics with insurance companys for NHRA cars and street driving. BOO~HISSSSSS.
Ed- Does the hot rod industry have cars manufactured as turn key minnus or as pallet cars from a factory the same way that Kit cars are made? Or are they all hand built either in/shop or in/home as I suspect. I've been away from those guys for a while, to much billet you know.
My Opinion - I submitt that there ARE standards to compare a home/built to a turn key minnus car! Lets see, Superformance, Backdraft, Team-C racing etc. not to mention pallet cars from Unique and others. The fact that many of these cars are built from several stages from a factory should tell a underwriter something. Together with the proposed inspecton of a completed car, that should have some merit to a underwriter. I hope you guys get this thing sorted out. I see nothing but good coming out of it !
