The Hopkins/Tasca race was a dead heat on paper!

Are those reaction times underneath the car numbers?

Wow Ken, thanks for the pictures, five years ago I met Colonel "Bud" Anderson in Oshkosh, where I was honored to talk to him, at that time he was telling us that Jack Roush had found and purchase is original "Old Crow" and was at the time rebuilding it completly. Imagine that 95% of the young men and people who worked on that project are now gone how it must of felt sitting in that seat. Bud Anderson best friend Chuck Yeager wasn't too bad of a pilot either. Too bad you didn't get to talk to Jack Roush because he's become quite the pilot with over 3.000 hrs of flight time with 800hrs in his P-51, to put in perspective, the normal hours a person works in a year is 2000hrs considering the time he puts in his race teams and all his business interest, it's incredible.

Huge thanks to Rocknrolla & Ken for the updates!
Also to Jesse for hosting this event which truly allows car owners to visit with each other and run these things to their full potential. Nice time! Thanks to Lynwood Dupuy for running a good show. Brett Candies 4192 Stock/SS Last edited by Brett C; 08-26-2012 at 12:00 PM. |

Re: "Live" from the 2013 Cobra Jet Showdown at Milan Dragway
A big thank you to all the competitors and congratulations to our class winners, Ray Skillman, Chris Holbrook, and Charley Downing!
I spoke to fans who drove many hours to see these cars run all out. It was exciting for everyone. We had over forty cars, five new competition license holders, over $6000 in payouts, and some amazingly close racing. Look for more videos and pictures this week on fordracing.com and our Facebook page. We plan to do the Showdown again next year in Bradenton and Milan. See you there!

I just got home from the shootout and had a great time!! Thanks to Jesse for putting this all together and to all of the competitors for putting on a great show. I can't wait for Indy.
One bit of advise for everyone, don't wear a Tasca hat & shirt while taking a photo of one of the awesome Candies Family's CJ's!! I learned my lesson...LOL

I will upload some photos here soon as soon as I load them on the computer. It was a great time with some great people.
PS. Also lets not forget Mike and Crew at Diversified Products, Recaro, Aeromotive, Coca-Cola, Roy Hill, FRPP and the NMCA.
