Cobra Crash Willow Springs, Short version 130 mph - YouTube

"What was that? Something didn't feel right. The car just got real loose for a second, then seemed ok. Then, with no warning, the car veers hard right, just before the Brake Zone on the fastest part of the track. Something breaks in the front suspension or steering. At 130+ miles it's time to start praying. And I did."

Umm... I don't think a sensible person continues at 130 mph after a significant warning like that.

No kidding, I'd at least slow down to 60. I can only imagine this was a kit car. Not sure I'd take such a rig to 130 unless maybe it was built by serious professionals.

I'm thinking one would want to check out that engine pretty carefully before purchase. This video is at least a good means to advertise that engine.
