Hey Darrell, a New Use for Your Go-Pro

[lkjohnson1950]

A sad end for a Cobra:

[Canada Darrell™]

Holy crap! Good thing it was a fake Cobra!

[lkjohnson1950]

Does anyone take a real Cobra to a track day?

[Scott]

Plus they're pigs - way too heavy for anything but a drag race.

[Ian]

Whoa, one new car required please, oh, and some new underwear to please.

[John S]

Yeah a real brown trouser moment. 

What puzzles me if he felt something wrong early on why did he keep his boot in so hard on the fastest approach to a corner on the track? 

[cosworth151]

I guess he just felt it for a second, so he dicounted it.

Plus they're pigs - way too heavy for anything but a drag race.

The big block Cobras maybe, but this was a small block. They are really quite lovely cars. Much better than the Sting Rays of the day.

Glad to see the camera survived...I just got one myself.  I don't have a plane to tie it to, but in February when we're on holidays it'll be on my (or my son's) ski helmet.  Hopefully I'll show you what skiing in the Swiss Alps is all about.   

[Ian]

That should be interesting Scott, never fancied skiing myself, too easy to break a leg or something.

Yes Ian, you can break something very easily skiing.
I spent almost a year in a plaster cast up to my crotch from a skiing accident years ago and still have a large steel plate and screws to deal with from it.

[Scott]

Only bone I ever broke was skiing...but that was almost 30yrs ago.  I now keep my bindings set at 'beginner' levels so they pop off easy.  Much rather do a faceplant as I pop out of my bindings than wrap my legs around each other like too many people I know.

[cosworth151]

That's why I took up snowboarding. The only thing I've broken doing that was my bank account.

[Scott]

You know what they say...it's much harder for a snowboarder to break a leg - they break BOTH!
