I heard it got repossed and it was available for sale by the bank. The guy who did some work on it ended up buying it from the bank.

The first one he sold because the motor was not what the builder said it was and he was having a lot of issues with it..... The second one was pretty much the same car and build but everyone said he was having problems with it lifting the heads and got rid of it for a Busa. I really really doubt it got repoed. Some of the other Cobra guys that he ran with said the above was true. Super nice guy. I have not seen or talked to him in years.

I saw that... I almost wrecked there years back. People die on 31/Madison about every year.... She had to have been going pretty fast to loose it there or was drunk/hi.... who knows.... that area is a pretty bad area to be speeding. It looks like I was lucky and missed the median and cars she was not... It is the main reason I don't race on the street now...

I heard saturday night that the car she was in did a illegal u-turn in front of a pillar and the SUV didn't see them till the last second. It was a two tone grand prix with orange on top and white on the bottom.

Terry cobra thing I was going on second hand info, He is still around with the busa. Because when we left the Indyhp drag day he was wanting to do some pulls on the highway.

If it is were I am thinking it was there is only like one spot that you can do a u-turn... (saw the helicoper footage on the news) only one break in the median for a while. If that is it then the SUV would have seem them way down the road....... I still say they were doing something stupid and lost control.... That corner is deciving at speeds....... I know from experience.... That area is etched in my brain now... If I am right I ended up in the parking lot a few feet or so north of the wreck... I could see them loosing control, sliding threw the break in the median and cliping the SUV.... If the honda was just pulling out I would think it would have stoped in the middle of the road..... not gone across the street to hit the curb after the hit...


The one thing about this area is that you (anyone) seem to hear a lot of different stories... all a little different haha. I figure if someone was really worried about why Terry sold both the cars they should go ask him

I heard that the GTP was racing, but IDK for sure. Either way that's a tragic accident and I feel really bad for the family and friends. I have lost 2 close friends to car accidents. My prayers go to the family and friends....

Also, Travis and Travis you 2 would be a good race.
Although the SS is going to be too hott to play around anytime soon. Hit me up, and we'll get another spot to do this. I have a PERFECT spot if you guys want to do this.... (not that I'm condoning illegal racing) Just offering a SAFER place to see this go down. 3 lanes wide and only 5-10 minutes from 31! (Hardly ANY traffic!)
