I have had the opportunity to have a good look over the Backdraft cars at the Run N Gun including the Cobra that was used in most of the competition events.
The finish on that car and the display car just nearby was of a high standard.
We don't have many options 'down under' of buying completed cars but instead usually head down the build it yourself road.
So again, I was very interested in being able to see and talk with manufactuerers at the Run N Gun. And look at completed vehicles.
I looked at the Backdraft, the Shamrock Cobras, Shell Valley and also the Midstates whilst at the Run N Gun and also had an opportunity to really look over two CSX 4000 series cars.
Money being no option I would probaly go for a CSX series Cobra. I climbed all over the burgundy Cobra on Sunday there and was very impressed with it.
It starts to get very difficult then when you compare the Backdraft, Midstates and other manufactures kits.
It would be a tough decision and then you have another 20 or so other manufacturers to compare with.
I guess the suggestion of checking them all out at the Knotts event is a good one.
I bet this question will start some lively discussion - we have all purchased the best kit or completed car from the best manufacturer.
Try and get the guys to take you for a run in the Backdraft they used at the Run N Gun it was very well set up for competition and finished well overall.
Cheers
