  • The "Teal Terror"

    Final testing before Open Track Connection heads to The 38th Annual Mid America Ford Nationals and Shelby Meet at Hallett Motor Racing Circuit, in Jennings OK. Car did better then expected. We added a new 04 Cobra steering rack, which got rid of the steering play that we experienced before. We also added Kenny Brown Anti Squat brackets to the rear lower control arms which in turn got rid of the last little bit of dive we had in the car under hard braking. I ran a personal best of 1:20.009. Not the fastest.....but faster than most. Enjoy!

    Testing the Open Track Connection race car at MSR Cresson. Car did great and I ran my personal best of 1:20.009. No one really to play with though :-(

      Nice car, nice name, and nice driving. I still don't like the wing, but I'm guessing it's all function?

          Yep......700 lbs of downforce at 60 mph......so yeah.....its functional. Also have a splitter on the front..its all road race brother. That is how I am able to whip up on a Viper ACR and Porsche GT3...it's not your average fox.....

                  Nice! I need more power. I've run a 1:20.7 on Toyos on a perfect day so you were moving. Good job!

                      So you're racing a hatch? How does the chassis hold up? I've always wondered this. I would presume a notch would be a more rigid chassis for road racing, but I see far more hatches, is that because of cost, or aerodynamics?

                          This is a '93 cobra with an SLA front end and all kind of CF goodies. After you put a real cage in it the difference between coupe/hatch is probably not even measurable. Hatchback cars are just more plentiful/cheaper. Hell we ditched the entire hatch assembly and 1/3 of the windshield in our $500 car...

                            the hatch is slightly more areodynamic, but that may not be the answer.

                              To add.......the car also has full length subs, in floor subs, bulkhead stiffners, Watts Link, etc, etc. This is a World Challenge set up.
