[QUOTE="R Model, post: 5432257, member: 10679"] Hey gang, My friend Mark and I were headed up to Daytona for the fall Historic Races a couple of years ago. We come out of the tunnel under NASCAR turn 4, heading for the infield, and we hear this engine noise that is very familiar. We keep going and then see this red blur that is making all of this noise screaming down the backstretch. We stop and as the car enters turn 3 and heads up on the banking, we see that it is a Cobra R. We had heard some stories about one hanging around the Grand Am series and sure enough, here it is. The car comes off the banking and disappears into the old pit area. We keep driving around until we reach the west horseshoe where we were set to meet some friends and enjoy watching all of the old race cars doing their thing. A few minutes later, here comes that red blur again making that noise that we all know so well. What a thrill! Later on, we visit the pit area and there is the car parked by the media center -- just like the pictures that were posted earlier in the thread. It was kind of funny to see, right off the bat, that it had a damaged splitter. Sound familar? It had some other unusual stuff like the safety lights and the special window duct that was also mentioned earlier. But the most interesting thing to me was the mega dollar Goodyear Eagle Supercar F1 tires that it was doing its best to wear down. We later heard that when we arrived, which was during the lunch break, that they were apparently giving some VIPs a very fast ride around the old historic speedway. Must have been nice. In the end, it was kind of like those MasterCard ads where the punch line goes something like "seeing a Cobra R at speed at Daytona -- priceless". Steve [/QUOTE]
