The King Cobra was quite nippy at the Green Monster in Champagne Mouton the year before last. Don Siegel and I raced it in a six hour event. Got pole and were going well in the lead when wrong slotted by someone at the beginning of a 16 metre straight. Charity suggests it was an accident. It never seemed quite the same thereafter

The opposition were all Scalex cars though so not the fastest in the world but then the Cobra was basically an RTR car too with the same sort of 16D motor.
