At the 2006 Run 'n Gun, Woodsy leads in the Superformance Cobra Daytona Coupe,
with apprentice Rory Meier in hot pursuit in the Heritage Deuce hot rod. Rory kicked
some serious Cobra butt in the new Novice class. Woodsy took 1st in
Road Course and
2nd in Autocross in the Street - Small Block class.
Peter Brock and Woodsy grin ear-to-ear before heading
out in their Superformance Daytona Cobra Coupes through
the wide-open country near Gearhead City.
What a treat to actually meet Peter Brock, designer of the
original
1965 aerodynamic Cobra Coupe that broke speed records for the
Shelby Race Team.
Now, Brock has re-engineered his original race car for improved
handling with a modern chassis and suspension Under his direction,
Superformance updated the car with creature comforts including
enough head, elbow and leg room even if you are over 6 feet tall.
And, as is expected today, the cockpit is weather-tight with roll-up
windows and factory-installed air.
Woodsy, Superformance engine installer, dreamed of driving a Cobra
ever since he saw the Coupe race as a kid. Now, he loves how it hugs
the curves and grips the road on straight-aways. Plus, it averages 20 mpg
thanks to Brock's aerodynamic design.
