192 going into turn 1 at SAAC 38 in Ford GT this was using the road course where you enter by pit lane and then get up on the oval. Could have gone faster but chickened out and tapped brakes well before turn 1.

Took a small SUV to 140 on the autobahn. Had the GT40 to 125 yesterday (not sayin' where). Had the Cobra to 135-136 on a small track outside Reno.

Not me or mine but there is a guy that runs the standing mile at the Mojave Mile event when I do.

His car is listed in the results section as a 1965 Shelby Cobra. I've seen the car but was too busy to really check it out very well so I can't say if it is genuine or a replica.

His name is listed as Virgil Benton and his hometown is shown as La Jolla, CA

I see 3 runs he made in the October 12-13, 2013 event:

1). 184.5 mph
2). 187.6 mph
3). 192.6 mph (his best time of the weekend)


I also see 2 runs he made at the April 12-13, 2014 event:

1). 191.7 mph
2). 191.9 mph

That's haulin' BALLS especially in a open cockpit car. I run my 2010 GT500 there and my best speed was 187.3 mph but I just couldn't imagine running my Cobra at anywhere near that kind of speed.

I think the driver would run out of balls long before the car did.
