Have you or somebody else who races the '93 Cobra you are referring to, ever petitioned NHRA to allow an auto for it ?  |
I'm not racing a 93 Cobra in Stock. I would if I could run automatic. I am building an '89 Coupe for M/N Stock Auto. Truth is, I'm more of a purist at heart. I like the fact that the cars have to run the basic combo as produced.
