rocknrolla · 08-23-2012, 11:05 AM

I will attempt to keep the classracer.com members informed on whats going on at the 2013 Cobra Jet Owners School and Test-n-Tune. Ford Racing invited all the 2013 Cobra Jet owners who took delivery of their cars a few weeks ago out to Milan Dragway to a new owners school lead by Roy Hill.

Roy Hill goes over the track layout and the features of the 2013 Cobra Jet in a classroom at Milan's tower suite.
