Richard, can I run my hi tech? It has a 351 (.030 over), stone age bias ply's if thats ok instead of those sticky radials. Willow is ok with me allthough road america is more centrally located. Seriously, how could this ever work with supposed stock vehicles? None of these cobras have a standard stock spec. Even factory cars from Detroit are tinkerd with before the road test. What if we did it for the most part in the way that these cobras are purchased. A guy buys a cobra, starts open tracking, makes modifications and improves as a driver. That would allow guys like me in a hi-tech, chuck in his jbl or nelson in his ffr to compete in their own cobra. Anybody associated with a manufacturer or that has extensive race experience can not drive or prepare a factory car to drive. Guys like richard could not drive, Gordon couldn't drive, the otloffs(sp) couldn't drive, the backdraft owners could not drive. Guys that keep their cobra pretty stock tend not to open track them anyway. The best chassis should come shining through at the limit. My guess is that it would still be a jbl car. Willow would be a cool venue as it was the original test track for shelby. Scott
