A Racing School & Open Track at the Shenandoa Circuit. I was an Instructor all weekend, as well as able to run the Cobra in the Instructor's run group, which is pretty much un-restricted.
I had a variety of students with cars from a brand new BMW M3 to a race prepped 1987 Mustang 5.0 LX that was noisy & fun! An unusual occurence was three bad wrecks, including a brand new BMW M5! Teaching was a great experience, I am hooked on instructing, and can't wait to do it again!
The Cobra was a track animal. Once I got comfortable with the track, and how the Cobra ran & where it liked to turn & brake in the corners, it was a rocket! 120 MPH on the redline in 3rd gear, fabulous brakes, the the slicks stuck like glue. Cobrask8 is turning into avery competent track car! How much longer can I keep it street legal?
This was my last racing event of the year, Cobrask8 has been returned to street trim in time for a covered bridge tour this up-comming weekend. Back to Civillian duty!
Here are some pics from the fun!
