Ed, you dont know what you're missing, driving fast is a major rush, theres nothing that gets CPC's blood pressure up like serious speed, fast cars, fast planes, fast bikes, fast boats, fast women, downhill skiing, ah.... now thats excitement. To quote one of CPC's fellow celebrities, the ubiquitous and pernicious Vin Diesel, "I love anything that goes fast enough to do something stupid in."
CPC wont get his cast off in time to do any real downhilling this ski season (unless he goes overseas, which may be a bit chancy with war brewing) but coming up in a month and a half is a little event in south Texas called The Big Bend Open Road Race. For 2 days they close down a 60 mile stretch of highway in both directions, and racers can fly as fast as their machines will take them. Cars in the Unlimited division will exceed 220 mph. Think about it Ed, 120 miles covered in about, oh say.... 45 minutes. That is what CPC calls fun.
CPC has been dying to enter this little shindig for years, he just didnt have a car that would be competitive, but now that the restoration project on his Cobra is complete, CPC is going to show those people that a bird doesnt need wings to fly. Its time to burn some rubber on the asphalt. You can be CPC's co-pilot, if you want, he needs someone to man the GPS and the stopwatch, let him now when the curves are coming up. Think about it.
Open Road Racing is the wave of future. Drag racing is fun, but its over too soon, you cant even get up to full speed in a quarter mile. Open Road races are like a drag race, but 100 miles long, and its legal! Check it out, Ed, you've never had an adrenaline rush like this.
