Hi Everybody,

i found this short video of a Cobra from Hungary winning on the dragstrip, somewhere in Hungary.
As far as i know, he is not a member of our ECC, but he knows his way around the dragstrip...
In the video he is taking victory over a quick Audi RS6, not exactly a slow car itself i would say...

Take a look for yourself and enjoy!

My daughter just spent a semester at school in Budapest, she was supposed to have a visit at this airport, former military base with Mig's bunkers still there. But finally she never made it. We were supposed to visit her there and I planned to match a car or plane event at this airport but planes to Budapest from Lyon were not easy (and expensive) so nobody made it ...

@ Eric: Wow, that sounded like a very good plan, but i can imagine that it's not that easy to get there from France by air. So next time you take your renovated Cobra and show them how it's done?
In Ceská Republik we also have some old CCCP airfield with most of the buildings intact. For me, as a history loving West-boy with East-wife, it's very interesting to see those old relics of the Soviet-occupied era ( 1968 - 1992 ) but my family there do not really want to talk about this period. Probably it brings back some bad memories...

Last time I drag raced I was not so lucky !
We went for holidays in 2019 in HU, we had a direct flight from Lyon. Now it's a least 2 flight, much longer travel (well 5-7 hrs Vs 1.5) and much more expensive. So we gave up.
