"Live" from the 2013 Cobra Jet Showdown at Milan Dragway

rocknrolla · 08-24-2012, 05:05 PM

Carl Tasca makes a wheels up pass in his stick-shifted 2010 Cobra Jet. We hope to see this car dip into the 7 second zone this weekend.

Tasca crew cool down the No. 777 car with one of the chiller boxes that pumps cool water through the engine. Tasca Racing's Ralph Poirier oversees this crew from Cranston, Rhode Island.

Rock Haas makes a checkout pass in the Super Stock Cobra Jet.

Jimmy Ronzello's SS/CA Cobra Jet will run in the CIC class. This combo is the 5.4L engine with the 2.3L blower.

Special thanks to rocknrolla, great job on the live reporting. Well it has been a great day. Very laid back and with nothing but friendly racers to talk to. Tech was smooth and uneventful.

We have run two qualifying runs and should be getting a third very soon. I don't have any of the numbers, I have been very busy working on my ride. I did here that Chris Holbrook went I 8.99 in Top Stock and Charlie Downing went a 10.85 in the cic race.

I will be back later with some more happenings at Milan.
