I was coming home from Orlando last night and got in a high-speed tag match coming across the Howard Frankland bridge. I was running even with another car and one of those construction barrels appeared in my headlights just a second before I was on top of it.(It was laying in the middle of the road) Somehow I slipped in-between it and the barrels on the side of the road.
It all happened so fast and a minute later I noticed my hands were shaking. I don't think I could do that again if I tried. Thank you Ford for the most awesome handling Cobra I've ever driven!

 

while we dont condone street racing, props to you for having the driving skills to avoid a bad situation. Its funny how things like that become a reflex action instead of you having to think about it before.

 

Scott, I give the car most of the credit and would say luck carried me through the rest. I'm not much of a driver but with a car like this you obviously don't have to be that good!

 

your at least good enough to not overpower it while performing a manuever like that and not break the rear end loose and do a good 360° into a guard rail. Your average joe couldnt do that if I had my guesses.

 

yeah man. you have more skill than you think you do. that could have been messy.

 

I'm just glad I didn't stand on the brakes which is what my initial reaction was. I would have sworn there wasn't enough room to squeeze between those barrels. I don't know what rubber construction barrels bouncing off the front end of your ride at 85mph sounds like but that's what I was waiting to hear. Thanks for the vote of confidence on my driving skills guys! I'm still leaning towards luck and the awesome car I was driving.

 

Self confidence and average speed skills is a good foundation but hardly transalate to a probable, positive outcome on an uncontrolled enviroment. A high speed tutoring course can change one's perspective of the realitiy of such probabilities.
Glad you came out OK.

 

DUDE!! You aren't near as glad as I am! :shock:

 

You are right about that, DUDE.

You can bet your next blown tire on it.
