Cool! What was the big bad Cobra's time? I suspected that Britain would beat that car. Cobras make terrible AX cars.

Cobra 57.9 in 2nd place. Running DOT R's as the tire is listed as Kumho.

I am struggling with this dilema a lot Slicks or DOT.

I could run 275/35-15 Hoosier A6 and probably have a faster car.
but the cheap ass part of me get the slicks I am running for 80 bucks a pop as full tread take off's


Anyway back on topic I imagine our boys are out there walking the new course right now looking for that fast line where they can get back on the power earlier.

Every Cobra I have seen is a doughnut maker.
The driver of this one must be pretty good to be that close to Brit.
Wish I was there, but I'm here at the The Concours in Monterey. Crazy bunch of expensive old cars.

if they're running in packwood today it'll be slick as snot. plenty-o-rain this am on pavement (old log yard) that's been baking in the sun for a few weeks. the pavement has some undulations and standing water in the low spots. i would expect slower times and perhaps a few dnfs.

Well it looks to be over.

Don't understand the results and of course they are not official.

Looks like Britain got a trophy anyway. But as I see it he should have pulled 1st.

It did indeed rain.
Brit had the field covered but on the 2nd day, screwed the pooch.....2 DNFs(lost) & a cone on the other.
My job is to warm up the tires & stink up the joint. The rain made it hard to do the former on the 2nd day but I got all else right.

Grant is right, most Cobras sux at AX. We had one of those that didn't in EM & one that did in XP. The guy in EM takes pride in getting his snake to do things that most Cobras won't and likes to make folks scratch their heads bout that....kinda like 914 guys.(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

The lessons here are:

Guys at the NT events are serious about AX and if you give them an opening, they're on it like flys on shit. A whole lot of that went on on day 2.

The course walk is NOT a social hour.

I gots pics & vids....later.

Confused also, but it looks to be the 2 day total. And yes the math is correct, that Jetta pulled it off. First set is Saturday, the second set is Sunday.

Gary:
It wasn't so much getting beat, rather giving it away. We were in the 2nd run group (of 5). Sat was no problem tho a bit cool & a dirty course...not as bad as the 1st guys tho. Brit did a 57 on his first run....bout a second off the fastest of the 1st group, then DNFed his next run so had to be conservative on his last.

I was working on it on my last run, but did a giant tank slapper on the starting slalom
& I was all done.

The course was wet on Sunday for the first 2 groups....drying out on the 3rd, then dry for 4 & 5. Brit had his problems and I was just slow.

To the pics:
A Mod....you ain't seen a fast AX till ya see this thing run. In the 51s on Sat....4-5 sec faster than all door slammers.
Enuff well thought out engineering & fabrication (nothing off the shelf)
to satisfy the most craven racecar geek.

An old school A Mod. Looks like some type of early formula car chassis.
Turboed T-1 (me thinks) with water coolers heads, well sorted & built...2nd fastest, but took the class as the first fella didn't want to test (which this was to him) in the rain.

JP, I'm curious about your cars SCCA classification. How did you go with E Mod. My car is similar just with less displacement / little more weight and I was thinking it would go in XP.

There is a calculation in the 2007 rule book.

There is something I remember about baby blue cars not being eligible.
