All I can say is this was one of the most successful new car first outings I had in my many years of racing. The Cobra worked flawlessly. The Crew was awesome. (Sally Lippman). The driver was a little rusty but got faster as laps went by. It was a great way for 2021 to start. I can't wait to put new tires on and head out for the next race trip. 168 MPH just before hard on the brakes into turn 17a on the radar gun.Sebring on the long course Jan 2-3 2021

I do!
svrabob, Congrats on your 1st run and wishing you much success.
I had the pleasure of speaking to Trevor about his car and set-up. Obviously a great combo.

The videos were fun to watch, but the pictures are awesome! I love the stance on that car.

I love the car, but it is a raw racecar. Not very street friendly but I got it to race and it does it better than me so far.
